Dungun Melaka Trip

Went for a trip with Amy, Melissa and Park a few days ago to Dungun and Melaka.

Reached June’s house after taken 6 hours of bus ride. We cooked ourselves for the dinner after insisting her to cook for us. Alright, it’s mostly June who did the cooking. We had tofu, two dishes of veges that I forgot the name, a dish of carrot+telur (nah, at least I did a dish… one of my favourite), and fish ball soup. It was really good eating ‘homey’ food after I came here in July. Then we went for (2) suppers at night, lekur… there we went…
You Hoe, the supermarket where we went to buy stuffs for dinner... old warehouse style...

We went to Kuala Terengganu by bus on the second day. It was a blazing extremely hot day. We visited crystal mosque and Terengganu Museum (which we were told it’s the biggest museum in our country). The buildings were really nice, big, and majestic. I like the architecture very much. In the evening we rushed back to Dungun to have dinner with her aunt. Finally we ate Chinese food. I mean, Chinese food, outside in the restaurant in Terengganu. Suddenly it seemed special to me.

The next day we went to Melaka after having breakfast at the pasar with June’s aunt. Then we went for some ss photoshoot session along the benteng. Although it’s not surprising to find only ONE pork selling shop in Dungun, it’s still very interesting, seeing a small stall located beside a Chinese Community Hall.

Mel didn’t follow us to Melaka so it left three of us taking 9 hours bus to Melaka. It was a freaking long hour travel, luckily the bus was comfortable, and unlike the one we took to Terengganu, lousy double decker. Titan came and picked us for dinner then to his house for the few nights stay.

Titan brought his friend, Lynette to bring us around Melaka town, had chicken rice ball as breakfast and.visiting all kinds of museum and buildings. Among all old buildings I like St Paul’s Church the most, it’s so magnificent. Then in the evening we had cendol beside a graveyard. Not, beside, but stepping right on the graves to have cendol. Interesting huh, to sell cendol at this kinda place. It was popular. At night we had satay celup as dinner then we went to the Eye On Malaysia. There were not many views, as there were not as many lights of the city. It would be much nicer if it was in KL. Then we went to the Jetty to have a drink and went to KTV in the end.

Lynette wasn’t well in the morning the next day so three of us walked out ourselves. Titan’s place’s located right in the middle of the town; it’s convenient to walk to the historical town. Basically we went to the places that we went the day before because the photos taken in Park’s camera were spoilt so we went to St Paul’s church again to take picture then to Pahlawan Mall to get his camera fixed. I was glad that we walked, we saw many things that we didn’t noticed on the car ride the day before. I was in awe with the architecture of the old buildings. They’re so beautiful.

This morning we took 11pm’s bus back to KL. I’m starting to miss Melaka’s food. Cendol… Chicken rice balls-which the taste was so much like Sibu’s.

Am very grateful for June, Titan and their families’ hospitality. =)
