Celebrating CNY the UNIQUE way...... [Part 3]

After refreshing ourselves with a good cold bath, roughly about six in the evening, again we head our way and this time we are looking out for a place to have our Reunion Dinner in Melaka. Alex thought of the Portuguese Settlement area and we all made few rounds of search and finally made it.




To our amazement, this place is stunning!!





Besides it's beautiful scenery there is also a large Food Court with many stalls selling Seafood....... so we ended up having our family's Chinese New Year's Eve Reunion Dinner here.
After we finished our dinner, its nearly dark, so we left and we all decided to have a walk to see the various historical places around the city.


We take a walk through the Dutch Square which is the heart of the City of Melaka, we manage to see many popular Churches - St. Francis Xavier, The Christ Church, Queen Victoria Fountain & many beautifully lighted & decorated Trishaws awaiting for customers. As we walk across the Melaka River from the Dutch Square, we see the long houses of Heeren Street and then towards Jonker Street. Jonker Walk is almost identical to Petaling Street where many hawkers set up their stalls along the whole street selling varieties of items.


Roughly about 9 o'clock we walk back to our car and drove to Melaka Bus Terminal to fetch Karen who is on her journey back from Kuala Terengganu. When we get back to our Home & Stay we get changed, exchange of Ang Pows, then retire for the night as we are all real tired & exhausted after a whole day of travel.
