Despite the fact that I've been in Malacca for over 2 months now, I've hardly explored my city besides going to Batavia to get my daily tempe meals and also going to class (probably because I've been too busy going back home every weekend to actually explore any tourist attractions besides the shopping malls hahahaha.
So here it goes, my Malacca adventure, part 1.
The famous fortress , A Famosa, (which by the way means famous, in Portuguese) . That tiny gate over there is called Porta de Santiago. For a little tid bit of History , this fortress was built after a Portuguese fleet under the command of Alfonso de Albuquerque defeated the armies of the native Sultanate. This fortress is built on a natural hill near the sea, and it's a really beautiful place. Malacca is really pretty and it gets even prettier at night.
Random flowers infront of the red building, just cause I really do love flowers.
The windmill.
The next stop was Jonker Street where there's a nightmarket. You can find the famous coconut shake there and chicken rice ball ( non-halal, but very famous here in Malacca) .
Ofcourse, the centre of tourist attraction around here where you can take rides on the trishaw. And there are lots of museums here, which I'm hoping to explore very soon! (no rush, I've got almost five years more here hahahah)
