Travelling in Malacca is easy. Just follow the signboard from the toll exit, and you will reach the town. Do some readings online and the signboard will bring you there. For instance, Jalan Ong Kim Wee for satay celup. :P
First stop upon toll exit: Tan Kim Hock Food Products.
My advice: Just buy at the nearest hypermarket to you. It has the same products. In fact, cheaper than the one in Malacca. I roughly checked the price, it's almost the same. So, no fuss, there's no need to travel all the way to Malacca for Tan Kim Hock's dodol.
But you can always try the cendol. :)
Next and last stop before hotel: Where else other than the famous Jonker Street.
The newly-built jonker walk. Basically, it is toilet-break stop. Nothing much there. A police booth and public toilet.
A vintage building of Hainanese Association. The precious peranakan lantern is easily seen in Malacca. I was introduced to it in "The Little Nyonya" (小娘惹). This is a good drama. A great drama that delivers the culture of the Peranakan. I know a lot about Peranakan from the drama.
(For people like me who does not enjoy reading books, especially history)
Malacca's landmark: The Stadthuys. If you have never taken a photo/ never been to The Stadhuys, you have never been to Malacca XD. It's so much a must-go place on every visit.
Another Malacca icon: A Famosa
(pronounced as "Ah-Famosa", not "Ei-Famosa") which means The Famous in Portuguese.
In Malacca, just get yourself a car park and for the rest of the day, expect walking! That's the only thing I know in Malacca. Other than this, nothing much to visit. Someone should tell me what to do in Malacca other than these.
