MKZ Day 3 │ Baba Low • The Drive Home

Going Home!

The bad bout of diarrhoea from yesterday had thankfully eased, though the nasty cough still kept me up most of the night.

We had originally planned to visit my parents in Bentong today, but given my condition, we had to cancel those plans.

Breakfast at Baba Low

We checked out of Backyard Rio at 10:00am and drove a short distance to Baba Low for breakfast. Since it was midweek, we had the whole place to ourselves for a change.

• Cat had the Mee Siam
• I had the Nasi Lemak
• Brendan had Toast & Eggs

Together with a round of drinks, our Peranakan breakfast came to RM24.50 (≈ USD/EUR5).

We also picked up a bagful of local sweet cakes —

• Six Apam Balik (which looked and tasted remarkably like Sarawak Kuih Penyaram)
• Four Pulut Inti (steamed glutinous rice with gula Melaka coconut topping)

All for RM17.50 (≈ USD/EUR4).

One Last Stop

Breakfast out of the way, we headed — off camera — to Lao Gan Bang Kopitiam to take away ten packets of their Nasi Lemak, along with several more local sweet cakes.

The Drive Back

With everything packed and sorted, we began our drive back to Kuala Lumpur.

Three days and three nights absolutely flew by, and despite everything — the food, the river, the walks, the mishaps — Melaka once again left its mark on us.

We’ll most definitely be back soon for another stay at Backyard Rio. Or maybe not?
