Melaka is one of my favorite place to visit, but lately, I’ve only passed by Melaka to Kuala Lumpur or Ipoh, instead of going in.

I visited Melaka again, and yes, it does not disappoint.

There are a few things to do in Melaka.

  1. Visit Jonker Street —The street in the area filled with historical houses along its left and right sides many of which are nicely renovated to showcase the heritage of the area. In the day, there is a Peranakan Cultural places to visit. Go do some research on the Melaka Heritage Trail
  2. Eat Peranakan Food — The Peranakan Chinese are an ethnic group defined by their genealogical descent from the first waves of Southern Chinese settlers to maritime Southeast Asia, known as Nanyang, namely the British Colonial ruled ports in the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian Archipelago, as well as Singapore. There are 3 places known for Peranakan Culture — Penang, Melaka and Singapore. So it is a must try when you visit Melaka.
  3. Try something with Gula Melaka — Gula Melaka
