Asam Pedas Again!
After checking into our Airbnb at Mahkota Apartments, we decided on an early lunch. We took the elevator down to the ground floor and wandered over to the former site of Mahkota Hotel, just a block away. It stood desolate, yet surprisingly still retained much of its old grandeur — not run down at all, just quietly waiting for its next chapter.
Laundry First
We then hailed a Grab car for RM5.00 (≈ USD/EUR1) to Greenwash Laundrette, barely a kilometre away in the Plaza Mahkota area, to do a spot of laundry.
While waiting for the wash cycle to finish, we walked across the street hoping to have lunch at Restoran 35, but were rudely shooed away.
No matter — Melaka always has a backup plan.
Lunch at Asam Pedas Claypot Lima Beradik
A few doors down, the friendly proprietor at Asam Pedas Claypot Lima Beradik welcomed us warmly.
- Cat and I shared a bowl of Stingray cooked in Asam Pedas
- We also shared a plate of Ayam Penyet
- Brendan had Chicken Tomyam and a large omelette
While waiting for our food, we walked back across the street to move our clothes from the washer to the dryer.
- Washer: RM6.00 per load
- Dryer: RM5.00 per load
(≈ USD/EUR1 each)
We returned just in time for lunch to be served. With a round of drinks, our meal came to RM60.00 (≈ USD12/EUR13).
Back to the Airbnb
After settling our laundry, we hailed a Grab car for RM6.00 (≈ USD/EUR1) back to the Airbnb, while Brendan took a walk to Dataran Pahlawan.
Catch you all soon!
