Melaka River Walk at Dusk
We met you again at six in the evening as we left the homestay for a gentle walk by the Melaka River. The air was cooler, and the light was perfect for an evening stroll.
From the Streets to the River
We walked west along Lorong Haji Bachee, crossed Jalan Bendahara, and continued onto Jalan Bunga Raya Pantai. Feeling a little hungry, we stopped by Seri Sahabat for a light snack. After a round of drinks and some toasted bread, we felt ready to begin our walk properly.
At the Ruins of Ermida de Rosario, we joined the Melaka River Walk and began strolling along the water.
Walking Through History
We passed The Shore Hotel & Residences, followed by Panggung Bangsawan Melaka, a historic performance venue. As we continued, we crossed several well known bridges, including Jambatan Pasar, Jambatan Kampung Jawa, and Jambatan Chan Koon Cheng, each with its own story and charm.
We exited the river walk near The Stadthuys and paused to take photos and enjoy the atmosphere. We sat for a while and took in the car free zone, where streets such as Jalan Istana, Jalan Mahkamah, Jalan Gereja, Lorong Gereja, and Jalan Laksamana were free of traffic. It felt calm and allowed the historic heart of Melaka to truly shine.
A Different Route Back
We then resumed our walk in the opposite direction. Instead of following the river again, we chose to walk along Jalan Laksamana, then turned onto Jalan Bunga Raya heading north. We crossed Jalan Munshi Abdullah and continued up Jalan Bendahara.
We stopped at a KK Mart to buy drinking water, but the cashier was too busy to serve us. Just nearby, Bendahara Choice Shop saved the day, and we finally got what we needed.
Simple Dinner, Happy Ending
Our walk eventually brought us to Wong Kok Food Court, where we had a simple and comforting dinner:
- White Radish Soup with Rice
- Watercress Soup with Rice
- 2 Glasses of Herbal Tea
Dinner cost only RM23.00 (≈ USD/EUR5), which felt like an absolute win.
From there, it was just a short and easy walk back to The Apple Residences.
Stay tuned for our next video as we went on a day trip to Muar, a charming town in the neighbouring state of Johor.
