...we are finally come to the second day of Malacca Trip. Well, it was also the last day of trip.
2008, 21st September.
Malacca Trip Day 2.
frankly speaking, I did not sleep well the whole night. That was triggered by certain reasons. Sleep without wearing socks was the main reason of greatly disturbed sleeping. I forgot to bring my socks which I used to wear when I am ready get into the bed. Felt chilled over my feet at the dead of night. Second, due to my odd behaviour, shared a bed with a colleague whom kept attempted to lean on me was kinda torturing me. That is why I rather slept on the sofa. However, slept on the sofa did not gimme a good dream either. And the noise came from every single corner of the living room had kept woken me up. Despite the fact that I was lack of rest, I was still energetic in exploring the historic state afterwards.

after we had checked out the Family Room, we went to have buffet as our breakfast. Then 'course we left the place. In order to know the exact venue of A'Famosa Resort Malaysia, you are advised to wiki it. And I was stayed at D'Savoy Condo Tower 4, hohoho...
then we went to the Malacca largest shopping mall, Mahkota Parade to shopping. Needless to say, I was not enjoy at all as I am sort of person whom do not like to shop. I prefer to explore more, particularly those scenes which might extinct in the future. In spite of my weird behaviour, I was still bought 2 clothes for myself ++". By the way, you may found numbers of shops which you cannot find them in JB, such as Missha (if not mistaken); the Korea famous cosmetic products, Mellilea; the healthy products, TheFaceShop, etc. Too bad that I slipped the chance to go inside the shops to look around.
Malaccas largest shopping mall, the Mahkota Parade is separated from the historical core of Bandar Hilir by a huge green field called the Padang. The complex is a reddish-brown elongated multi-storey building met at one end by the posh Hotel Equatorial. Boasting 1.2 million sq ft of built-up area, it has dominated the local shopping scene from day one. Anchored by Parkson Grand (a local chain of departmental stores), it also counts on a large souvenir and handicraft centre, a supermarket, a cineplex, a food court, numerous restaurants and cafes, a bowling alley and amusement arcades to draw in the crowds.
after that, we were given 2 hours to have lunch. The bus came to St. Paul's Hill and we were dismissed. I was been there last year, with Fish. And even took a photo with angmohs. Well, along the way to statue of St. Francis Xavier, you may see a sky tower from a far distance. But I think the S'pore Sentosa Island Sky Tower looks more fabulous.
after took some photos at St. Paul's hill, we went down to the renowned Jonket Street aka Jonker Walk to crave for local delicacies. And... one of the most popular and recommended delicacies in Malacca must be Chicken Rice Ball~!!
常常有人问，马六甲鸡场街哪一家的鸡饭团最好吃？我也常常用同样的问题去问别人。综合各方的意见和本身的体会，我想说：“各擅胜场”。
你也许觉得我在巧舌卖乖，只想讨好不敢得罪。老实说，生意本来就是各有各做，客人口味本来就各有所好，你去鸡场街看看，每间鸡饭店都有汹涌的人潮，就知此言不虚。
言归正传，就此给大家说说鸡场街访客最常光顾的3家鸡饭店吧。第一家是在陈金声桥下的“中华茶室”，第二家是鸡场街口门牌6号的“和记鸡饭团”，第三家是在鸡场街门牌21号的“古城鸡饭粒”。-- http://www.mytopforum.com/archiver/?tid-15992.html
probably 3 of the restaurant are too easily to find, I was passed by the Tiong Hua Kopitiam as there was a crowd blocked up the entrance in order to buy the chicken rice ball. Then we passed by He Ji Restaurant when it was full house. Next, we walked to Gu Cheng Chicken Rice Ball Restaurant and deeply attracted by the surround renovation. Well, just for you guys' information, the restaurant has been renovated. At first, the restaurant was located at somewhere else. And the person-in-charged bought the biggest house in Jonker Walk in order to extend the chicken rice ball business. Also, he renovated the house into palace-like restaurant. Looked awesome ( =.
■古城鸡饭粒
世界著名连锁店麦当劳“无处不在”的显赫成就，是古城鸡饭粒少东赖亿昌追求的理想。所以他店内的装潢和餐牌也有很浓的麦当劳特色，尤其是红彤彤的背景色，充塞满目。
鸡饭本来就有快餐店简便、快速的特色，再加上店主在百年老店屋墙上精心悬挂的古城老照片，就添加不少老街风情。
古城鸡饭粒和麦叔叔一样重视宣传，常有接待选美会、访问团等新闻上报，由此可见店东拿督赖斯隆作为甲州马华前议员的交游广阔。
除了香滑的鸡肉与鸡饭，该店也像麦叔叔的快餐店一样，提供多样的“其他选择”。芽菜、烧肉、油菜心、鱼丸、煎鱼、菜汤等等……总之保证你吃到尽兴为止。
该店最近大事扩充，买下鸡场街21号的百年老屋，打造其“五星级鸡饭粒”皇宫。这间1911年兴建、鸡场街最大间的老房子，让该店在食物以外，再添加可供游客拍照的帝皇布景，非常有噱头。~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**
賴斯隆耗百萬打造新景點
宮廷雞飯店老街生輝
古城雞飯粒餐廳耗資百萬令吉裝潢的中國清朝宮廷風味分店，立意成為甲州新旅遊景點。
該店屋建於1911年，位於雞場街，已有95年的歷史。特別修飾的外貌一片深紅，仍然散發出古色古香的風味。鮮紅色的雞飯店，非常奪目。
遊客如親臨紫禁城
店東拿督賴斯隆自豪的說，店裡超過90%的裝飾物來自中國，務求打造一個皇宮式的環境，要讓遊客不須親赴中國，也能有親臨皇宮的體驗。
店裡的設計與裝潢構思都是由賴斯隆一手包辦，從大型的飾物、龍門，小至花瓶等裝飾物，皆由他親身到中國紫禁宮考察後，再到當地商店搜購仿似的物品。
店裡的重點裝潢是在後部。前廳和中廳是供食客用餐的地方，后廳則開闢為一條皇宮一樣、金碧輝煌的長廊。長廊的尾端擺設皇帝寶座，可供參觀者拍照留念。
踏入店裡，甫進入眼帘的是開放式的廚房，左邊擺有數張大圓形的雲石及木質混合的桌椅，牆壁與店外觀用同一深紅色系，間中還隔有以金、銅色的宮廷圖案牆紙。
3D牆紙顯視覺效果
牆紙是3D設計，顏色非常出色，圖案畫功精細，從不同的角度可以有不同的視覺效果。
牆上掛有許多古董花板和牌匾，讓食客在用餐時，抬頭就能欣賞到古代家居的裝飾品。
前廳之後是一個天井，天井的右邊是一座兩層樓高的人造瀑布。賴斯隆指出，此瀑布是前任業主所留下，他再加以改造，讓水流發出潺潺聲。
從中廳要穿入後廳走廊，必須經過一道由中國特別訂造而來的鮮色紅釘門。它重達數百公斤，必須要5名大漢才抬得起。
走進長廊，立刻被全幅金碧輝煌的皇廷牆紙所吸引，就連天花板上也相隔配上飛龍及金錢圖案的牆紙，再加上聚光燈的照耀，感覺金光燦爛，仿如置身於皇宮中。
龍椅寶座過皇帝癮
為了強調及突出龍椅寶座，賴斯隆特別在台階上方掛上個印有“聖旨”的牌匾，讓人一目了然看出這是皇帝寶座。
走廊的右邊隔成兩間貴賓廂房──龍鳳廳，每間可容納十餘人，房外的木門也是特別訂製，並刻上圖案。房門外掛上兩個大燈籠，顯得古色古香。
龍鳳廳旁是另一個天井，天井處掛有一幅大型的陶瓷製龍鳳呈祥圖。此圖是特別邀請中國工匠製造，耗時兩個月才完成。賴斯隆歡迎新婚人士來此取景。 （星洲日報／古城‧2006/11/13）
Penny of Thoughts
be frank, the Malacca trip was really fantastic, though it was fairly disappointed as I had no opportunity to take photo with angmohs ++". Anyway, by touching the animals, it reminded me that long time ago, Adam and his wife were able to live with animals peacefully in Eden. Felt touched and grateful as Heavenly Father was once given our ancestors to live like that. Besides that, by re-visiting St. Paul's hill, memories were flashed back. And I wondered why the statue of St. Francis Xavier has a broken hand ++".
also, my simply-not-allow-people-touching behaviour seems getting worse. I could not stand to be physically closed with friends and even family members. That is why I chose to sleep on sofa instead of cozy bed with another 2 colleagues. Not to forget, my dislike-shopping attitude is also irritating people, and I myself. Is it the consequences of changings? Still, I am what I am, playing the role of angel and devil. Do not try to change me as I never wanted to change you...
