MALACCA TRIP by NUR ATIQAH ZAKARIA https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2 MKT511 - DIGITAL PLATFORM en-us 2023-01-22 06:29:30 UTC 2025-12-09 03:08:17 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f60d.png PUNCAK ALAM TO MALACCA 2021121945 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452177073 Started our journey on Friday at 3 o'clock in the evening, after class. The road was smooth even though there are a lot of car since it was still on working days. Driving takes about 3 and half an hour to arrive at Malacca City Center. 


]]> 2023-01-22 06:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452177073 ARRIVE AT MALACCA 2021121945 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452177486 When we arrive, we spot that in Melaka, there are a lot of traffic light and the distance of traffic light from one to another seem very close. 

So, in our opinion that what makes Malacca roads are so busy and the time taken from one to another place take a long time

We also recommend to start day at Malacca early because it can saves time on busy roads.

]]> 2023-01-22 06:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452177486 KLEBANG BEACH 2021121945 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452179906 After arrived at Malacca, we go straight to Klebang Beach. It takes about 12km from the toll, but since Malacca has a lot of traffic light it takes about 25 minutes to arrived. 

Klebang Beach was so beautiful in the evening. Most of people spend there to watch a sunset, it was so stunning! Some people take a good selfie because during that time the light was so on point. 

Furthermore, at Klebang Beach there are also provided the rental services for cushion to sit since there is no public chair, so it is very recommended to bring your own mat to sit and saves your money besides to enjoy the view. 

There are also many stalls that sell variety of things along the edge of the beach which includes foods and beverages, toys, clothing and souvenirs. But since we arrived Klebang Beach quite late, so most of the stalls already closed. 

Based from the information that we get from the local people, the stalls are open from 10 o'clock in the morning until 7 o'clock in the evening. So, for the next trip, we think that we should come earlier to enjoy the food along the beach sides. 

Besides, it is good to come earlier since Klebang Beach are so crowded with the visitor and parking space also is limited.  Spending about half an hour at Klebang Beach, then we go to Taming Sari Tower]]> 2023-01-22 07:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452179906 OUR HOMESTAY 2021121945 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452183887 If you guys wanted to come to Malacca, do not worry because there are a lot choices to choose where to stay. Even home stay are so comfortable from hotel and the best thing is you can get much cheaper price than staying at hotel. 

We stay at Imperio Residence for a night. The process of check in was so smooth. The owner was very nice to us. He also give us an instruction using Whatsapp. We spend RM200 per nigh at here. We booked this homestay via Agoda. We also paid in advance thru online banking. There's no deposit are required. 

The best thing about this homestay which includes their facilities such as washing machine and dryer, refrigerator, television, bath tub, shower, and the most favorite is the view. The view was so beautiful especially at night. 

This homestay also provide other facilities which include gymnasium and swimming pool. The owner had provide some food which incase that we wanted to buy. The food which includes biscuit, beverages and ice-cream. Not only food, the owner also provide the service of rental swimming suites for RM15, since the swimming pool stated the requirement to wear a full set of swimming suites, incase we would like to enjoy their pool. 

Since we are so tired after take a long tour at Malacca City Center, we arrived at homestay quite late and did not take any food for lunch. So we just order McDonalds thru their apps, and it takes about 30 minutes to arrived. 

By the way, check-in time for the homestay was 3 o'clock in the evening and check-out at 12 o'clock in the afternoon.  


]]> 2023-01-22 07:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452183887 COCONUT SHAKE & KERIA GULA MELAKA 2021121945 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452190256 On the last at Malacca, we go to grab one of the "must" food to try at Malacca once in a lifetime. We go grab coconut shake and keria gula melaka. It was located at Batu Berendam. If you guys wanted to visit, just search "Coconut Shake Batu Berendam" on the Google Maps. 

Besides, selling coconut shakes and keria gula melaka, they also sell asam pedas, noodles soup, and others traditional malay kuih. Coconut shake cost RM4 for original coconut shake, RM4.50 for special coconut shake and RM5 for double special coconut shake. 

Coconut shake basically made from coconut water that blended with the coconut filing and vanilla ice-cream. For every special coconut shake, they add one more scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top of it. It was so refreshing on the hot sunny day! 

Besides that, we also get to taste the keria gula melaka which cost for RM10 for 8 pieces. Keria gula melaka basically made from sweet potato that have been boiled until soft and combine with the wheat flour. Then, it will be shaped into round and fry until golden brown. 

Then it will be coated with pandan leaves, water and palm sugar that have been boiled together. If you guys wanted to try, please come early so that you guys do not need to que up, besides the parking space also limited. They also provide table and chair to be seated while eating at there. The place was open spaces. 

By the way, they open everyday from 9 o'clock in the morning and 10.30 o'clock in night. ]]> 2023-01-22 07:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452190256 TAMING SARI TOWER 2021127767 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452200116 From Klebang Beach, we went to Taming Sari Tower, Melaka that located in the Bandar Hilir, Melaka. It is 110 meters high and rotates 360 degrees for visitors to see the entire panorama of Melaka City. The passenger capacity is 80 persons, and the price for the ticket is RM17 per person. 

There is a photo taking service that can be used before proceeding to the counter where tickets may be purchased. In addition to serving as a memento of one's time spent there, the images that were taken during that trip are of a very high standard of quality. A printed photo can be purchased from the personnel at the exit of Menara Taming Sari for the price of Rm30.

The best and most suitable time for you to come here is at night because you can see the beauty of Melaka City along with the colorful neon lights which are very beautiful and enchanting. One rotation session will take about 7 minutes. From a height of 80-meters and a view as far as 5km, we were able to see many interesting and historical places such as the Selat Melaka, Complex TUDM, Memorial Kemerdekaan and many more.  

In front of the entrance of Menara taming sari are two groups of dancers consisting of youngsters and teens doing traditional dances.  They performed an interesting traditional dance that entertained and mesmerized our eyes.

Taming Sari Tower is open from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. while on weekends and public holidays it is open from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. For entrance tickets, tickets for Malaysian citizens are RM17 for adults, RM11 for children under 12 years old, RM9 for senior citizens and RM8 for the disabled people. 

]]> 2023-01-22 08:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452200116 OUR DINNER - ASAM PEDAS 2021127767 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452201886 After spend time at Taming Sari Tower, we're hungry and hunt for Asam Pedas. We have chosen to eat at the Asam Pedas Lauk Kampung. It only takes 2 minutes from Menara taming sari. They offer various types of Asam Pedas. We had Asam Pedas Ikan Pari, hot and spicy sambal anchovies and soy sauce beef for RM73. 

Despite the fact that the Asam Pedas has a delicious taste, we are quite dissatisfied with the price because, as students, we feel the price is quite expensive with a small portion. We only purchased two pieces of stingray even though there were five of us eating it. Maybe for the next trip, we need to compare the prices by looking at their menu for 2 to 3 restaurants so that we can get a worthwhile price. Melaka's first day is over.

]]> 2023-01-22 08:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452201886 KOTA A'FAMOSA 2021124483 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452237599 Our next destination is the famous Kota A’Famosa.It was built by the Portuguese in the early 16th century. In Portuguese, A Famosa translates to "The Famous."This fort was the oldest European structure in Southeast Asia. 

A'Famosa Fort is always referred to as the fort's surviving gate since it was once connected to an antique church. The A'Famosa Fort is just a short walk from Malacca's Dataran Pahlawan Megamall. The beautifully decorated trishaws that will take you for a journey around the area that you choose are the main attraction. If you appreciate historical values, you must visit this location. The monument is quite old, but it has many stories to tell.

If you choose to visit this location, we recommend that you wear comfortable footwear and clothing. This is due to the fact that the stairs at this location are quite steep and take some effort to reach the upper portion of the fort. However, reaching the top of the hill was well worth the effort because it offered a breathtaking panorama. Also, there's no need to buy a ticket here. Admission is free.

]]> 2023-01-22 10:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452237599 CHRIST CHURCH 2021124483 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452243373 So next we go to another historical place. It is just a walking distance for Kota A’famosa.Therefore, we decide to just walk and enjoy the view. After a few minutes walking, we have arrived at our next destination which is Christ Church. It was built in 1753. The ancient Christ Church were an elegant Dutch building and one of the famous Melaka landmarks. It has evolved through many phases while under the rule of various colonial powers. 

The church, which can be found on Jalan Gereja (also called Church Street), is a vibrant coral red with a massive white cross at its centre. You will feel like you have been transported to an old European church by the greenery and blooming flowers all around you. 

Those interested in visiting this location should go to the Red Square or Stadthuys, which is located at the end of Jonker Walk or Jonker Street. Cross the bridge from the end and you'll be there.If you're driving yourself, use Waze and type in Stadthuys or Melaka Christ Church, and the software should take you there. The same is true for Google Maps.If you are staying outside of Melaka's old town, you can take a cab, Grab Car, or simply walk here.

]]> 2023-01-22 10:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452243373 VISITING MALAYSIA PRISON MUSEUM IN MALACCA 20211219571 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452247196 After spending some time sightseeing around Kota A Famosa, we also decided to visit the Malaysia Prison Museum in Melaka which is also located in Bandar Hilir, Melaka. Malaysia Prison Museum or also known as Penjara Bandar Hilir is only around 1.8 kilometers from the Malacca city center’s Dataran Pahlawan. 
Parking spaces are provided at the back of the museum building, and we need to walk around 50 meters before we found the entrance. To those who are interested in visiting this museum in the future, we recommend wearing a sport shoes since the museum are so huge and visitor need to walk a lot, besides, the museum consists of two floors. 

The museum building used to be a prison built in Malaysia, the building was originally constructed in 1860 by Governor Colonel Cavenagh as HM Prison Jail and was later officially launched by the Yang Di Pertua Negeri Melaka and opened to the public on 20th November 2014. The museum opens every day except Monday from 9 am to 5 pm. 

A small fee of RM3 per person for local adults was required at the registration counter. RM1 fee for Malaysian children from 7-12 years old and free admission for children aged 6 and under. Foreigners are also invited to visit the museum, which is charged RM6 for adults and RM3 for children.  After receiving the tickets, we then proceeded to enter the main block through a small opening of a massive gate and were immediately greeted by a dimly lit hall with small stairs that led to rooms on both left and right. These narrow rooms, with extremely high ceilings, heavy metal doors, and a small window each, were used as prison cells during the period when the prison was still actively operating. These cells were kept in their original state as how it was before, complete with stained walls and graffiti by prisoners. The rooms were narrow with just a grill window high up to allow some light to enter. This museum, housed in a real former prison, gives us a chance to appreciate how life must have been for the prisoners and for the prison staff.


]]> 2023-01-22 10:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452247196 CENDOL JAM BESAR 2021124483 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452247246 After tired walking around the church, we stop by at one of the stalls near the Christ Church. It is one of the famous juice stalls there. We enjoy some refreshing drink there. It turns out, the watermelon juice is so delicious and the cendol were also good!

Being so close to the Malacca River, we were able to take a rest and enjoy the scenery while recharging our energies with some cold beverages.]]> 2023-01-22 10:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452247246 FATHIN'S HOMETOWN MUAR, JOHOR 2021121995 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452248672 For the first night, we stayed at Fathin's hometown located at Muar, Johor. We are so fascinating with the environment there as it is so relaxing, refreshing and peaceful. 

Fathin's relatives also friendly and welcoming us during the stay. The distance from Muar to Melaka is about 28kilometers only. Hence why we decided to stay one night at Fathin's hometown as we get to save some budget! ]]> 2023-01-22 11:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452248672 MALACCA RIVER 2021124483 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452254418 After getting some rest at the stall, we continue walking along the Melaka River since it located just a few meters away from the stall. Malacca River Walk is a park that is open all day and all night. The park is comprised of walking routes that run along the Malacca River's shores. It's hard to believe that you're in the middle of a metropolis when you look at how beautiful the paths are with all the trees and plants. Along the Malacca River Walk, there are a lot of cafes and shops for people who like to stop and try local food or look for souvenirs. The entire route features outdoor artwork. Lots of houses on the river's west side have murals to brighten them up.

The Malacca River Walk is an ideal location to reach many of the city's historical landmarks. The majority of the path is well-lit at night, making it an ideal spot for an evening stroll.

Additionally, if you have a love of photography, you should snap many images here because the scenery is so stunning.
]]> 2023-01-22 11:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452254418 WARUNG HAJAH ROBIAH 2021121995 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452256343 On the second day, we decided to have breakfast at this one famous place which is Warung Hajah Robiah! Before we went there, we did some research on google to know on their ratings, working hours, location, and the menu. 

As we arrived at Warung Hajah Robiah, we were so confused to choose what to eat as they are selling more than 30 types of foods such as the kuih muih, chicken rice, soto, lontong and so on.  

On the left side of the picture is what we choose to eat. We can say that overall the taste of foods there were so tasty! No wonder they managed to get 4.5 stars rating on google! The price also quite cheap as all of the foods and drinks we choose amounted to total of less than RM30.

For anyone who is interested to go to Warung Hajah Robiah, we suggest you guys to go early in the morning as we arrived there on 8'o clock but there were already lots of people there!

Warung Hajah Robiah is located at 3123C, Jalan Limbongan, Kampung Kolam Limbongan, 75250 Melaka. Anyone who is interested to go to this place can directly google the direction to this place as we also use the direction from google to go to this place.

There are lots of tourists there from all over the world which makes the environment was so lively. 

Jonker Street is a famous place selling antiques, various kinds of foods and drinks, souvenirs, t-shirts, toys, shoes, phone casings and many more! Jonker Street is similar to the local night market but it is only open on weekends. 




]]> 2023-01-22 11:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452263540 (-CONT) VISITING MALAYSIA PRISON MUSEUM IN MALACCA 20211219571 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452300991 There are a few sections that are interesting, however, taking pictures or video is not allowed so it is best for one to experience this in reality. Also, there are photos that we do not have the guts to share, nor to look at it as memories but at the same time, it does give us some weird vibes, lessons, and how we imagine the lives of prison inmates were like because as we stated before, originally this museum is a real museum before it opened to the public and turned into Malaysia Prison Museum Malacca. 

We also found the prison to be once well equipped with numerous facilities, including the main courtyard, praying room (surau), dispensary, library, kitchen, sports courtyard, mess hall, open-air washing area, kitchen, phone booths for prison visitors, and others. Many of these areas now serve as exhibition spaces, filled with materials, tools, and furniture that were either originally used in Penjara Bandar Hilir itself or brought from other prisons around the country. When we are there, we can clearly see the details such as how those pots have actually been used by looking at the color of it, the miniature example of the clothes that they wear, also, the many kinds of art that have been shared by the prison inmates from other prisons all over the countries.

We spent almost an hour or maybe more, roaming around the museum and it is one of the most intimidating and definitely memorable experiences that we think everyone should experience once in a lifetime. ]]> 2023-01-22 13:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452300991 TikTok Video 2021124483 https://padlet.com/malaccatrip/mkt511_group2/wish/2452316131 This is the link to the TikTok video for our trip to Malacca!
