MKZ Day 3 │ Epic MELAKA Walkabout!

Lazy Sunday in Melaka

With nothing planned, we allowed ourselves to sleep in and woke up around nine in the morning. Brendan’s second performance went well, even though we did not watch it in person. We hoped that someone had recorded it and shared it online.

Breakfast Indoors

Brendan and his bandmates were heading back to Kuala Lumpur that day, while we were only checking out of the homestay the next morning. A heavy downpour ruined our plans to go out for breakfast, so we decided to order food in instead.

An hour later, a Grab rider arrived with our crispy chicken and scrambled egg sandwich breakfast meal, which felt comforting on a rainy morning.

Taking Advantage of the Cool Weather

By noon, the sky was still overcast, but the rain had eased. We took the chance to head out for a walk, enjoying the cooler weather.

We left The Apple Residences and walked west along Lorong Haji Bachee, crossed Jalan Bendahara, and continued onto Jalan Bunga Raya Pantai. From there, we crossed Jalan Munshi Abdullah and rejoined Jalan Bendahara.

Through Historic Streets

Our walk took us past Little India, after which we continued south along Jalan Laksamana. The road was closed to traffic, creating a pleasant car free zone, and eventually led us to The Stadthuys.

We continued along Jalan Kota until we reached A Famosa. After taking the usual photos, we carried on along Jalan Kota, turned onto Jalan Parameswara, and then left onto Jalan Chan Koon Cheng.

A Simple Lunch Stop

We walked past St Francis Primary School, followed Lorong Chan Koon Cheng, continued onto Lorong Bukit Cina, and reached Jalan Bukit Cina. Along the way, we spotted a small and unassuming food stall and decided to stop for lunch.

We ordered:

  • Mee hoon laksa
  • Wantan mee
  • Two sugar free iced teas

Lunch came to RM18.00 (≈ USD/EUR4), which felt more than fair.

Five Kilometres Well Spent

After lunch, we completed the final part of our walk along Jalan Bukit Cina and crossed Jalan Munshi Abdullah once more. With that, our relaxed five kilometre walk came to an end.

It had been a calm, cool, and satisfying Sunday.

Stay tuned for our next video as we headed out for dinner at one of our old favourite food courts.
