MKZ Day 1 │ A Recap

Melaka Again!

Barely a month after our last visit, we found ourselves making plans to return to Melaka — but for an entirely different reason this time.

We had been planning a surprise for Brendan’s birthday since April, and early this morning, we finally sprang the surprise on him. Be sure to catch our video on that moment.

The Drive South

Since it was an early start to the day, we slept in a little and only left our condo at around 11am. After a leisurely two hour drive, we arrived in Melaka. With time to spare before check in, we stopped for lunch at Cheng Ho Hawker Centre.

Checking In — Backyard Rio

We then drove over to another one of Victor’s fabulous Airbnb units, Backyard Rio, located right along the Melaka River. Still knackered from the early morning run to KLIA2, we took a much needed nap and only emerged in the evening.

Birthday Dinner at Wild Coriander

As the sun dipped, we walked over to Wild Coriander to celebrate Brendan’s birthday. It was a cosy, meaningful dinner — and yes, there’s a video coming for that too.

Impromptu River Cruise

After dinner, we went on an impromptu walkabout and eventually found ourselves at the Melaka River Cruise ticket counter. Since it was Brendan’s birthday, we treated him to a boat ride — a colourful, breezy highlight of the night.

A Slow Walk Home

After the cruise, we took a leisurely stroll along the riverbanks, enjoying the calm night atmosphere until we eventually reached our Airbnb.
