Jalan jalan - Melaka Trip May 2017 : Avillion Legacy Hotel

Hi uols! Asyik cerita raya jerrrr.. Kita lari dr cerita raya sikit naa..raya pun dh habis sebulan kannnn... :)


Baru baru ni...ehemm..xdelah baru sangat, sbnrya mid may aritu sebelum puasa, we had a quick trip to Melaka, Memang adhoc just for makan makan and jalan jalan je. Satu - memandangkan Amsyar pun belum pernah sampai ke Melaka (our last trip was 2011!) kita pun plan utk ke melaka bersempena birthday Amsyar. Dah alang alang tu kita cum kan sekali daddy's birthday and also our 7th anniversary yg jatuh tahun ni on the first day of Ramadhan :)


Next year, maybe jatuh in Ramadhan lagi, maybe we could book ourselves a cruise trip yg ada pengisian islamic tu..bestnyaa..berangan tak salah kan?! :)

Avillion Legacy Melaka : Dulu namanya Puteri Pan Pacific Hotel kalau xsilap~

Ok, back to cerita asal, this trip was really unplanned. But it was a happy unplanned trip where Melaka is not the melaka i remembered anymore. Byk betul yg dah berubah and alhamdulillah with waze and google map we managed to reach many places yg dulu mmg familiar sekarang dah sesat! We booked a last minute offer in Avillion Legacy which alhmdulillah was not fully booked despite the long holidays. And off we go! Nak rancang rancang sgt pun dah payah sebab ada baby kecik so we go with the flow ajelah.. What was on our mind was, coconut shake klebang, kuih keria limbongan, a famosa visit, menara taming sari and also the ship museum. It turned out yang byk juga tmpat boleh pergi dgn 2hari semalam..yay!



Jom kita cerita dari mula.

It was a Friday and we started our journey early morning from Shah Alam, reaching melaka at 10am. I guess Melaka is so familiar to many of you, so we'll just let the pictures tell the stories ya? Berterabur sikit gambarnya tp bolehlah faham.

Untuk trip kali ni, kami pilih Avillion Legacy Melaka. Satu, sebab lokasi dia mmg tgh2 bandar and sangatlah dkt dgn banda hilir (tempat byk tempat pelancongan @ Melaka). Dua, sebab tgk dari gambar and review hotel ni mcm ok. Tiga, hotel ni harga nya amatlah berpatutan utk malam weekdays yg tidak pre-book awal awal. Untuk semalam via booking.com kami dpt rm149 sahaja utk bilik superior including breakfast, so amatlah murah kannnn. Empat, semua bilik kat hotel ni ada bath tub. Ha yg ni utk keselesaan kanak kanak ribena dua org tuu..

The beautiful lobby

Our verdict: Alhamdulillah it was a pleasant stay. Tak tahulah maybe kami bukan lah jenis yang fussy sgt, semua nya rasa mcm okeh je. Bilik ok, aircond ok, tv ok. Tub mmg ok sgt bebudak berendam sejam lebih kot..hahaha. Breakfast pun sedap and boleh tahan variety nya. Kids below 7 eat for free ya breakfast. Ni mmg lazim kan for most 4* hotels..except Gold Coast Morib haha. Smooth je check in and check out, concierge tu dah mmg expect kedatangan kita. Dah print sesiap sebab dh buat full payment. Cuma satu jelah, as it was a non-smoking hotel, hubby kurang gembira..hehehe.well, suit your selflah kannn.. i suka je sebab mmg walking distance je dgn Hang Tuah Mall. One more thing yang jadi minus point is the swimming pool. Kecik sgt swimming pool nya. By last sebab ramai kat pool ms tu, kitorg naik bilik main bath tub ajelah.lol~

Cincin beli as souvenir for the boys.ada ukir nama memasing. mommy suka bebenda gini!

First day : Muzium Samudera, Beriani Thamby, River Cruise and Ikan Bakar Muara Sg Duyong

Sampai sampai je Melaka masa tu kami terus ke Banda Hilir, nak meronda. Nak check in hotel belum boleh lagi sebab check in ptg. Masa tu br kul 11am. Agak panas masa tu so kami masuk ke Muzium Samudera (Muzium kapal) kat bandar Melaka. Sejuk sikit dlm tu. Bebudak pun excited sebab dpt masuk dlm kapal. habis di explore setiap penjuru. Berbaloi sebenarnya dgn tix rm3 je rsnya satu kepala. 

Inside Samudera Museum. Sebenarnya dah ada 2 parts of the museum; the ship and also the building beside the ship. Menariklah for museum lovers like me (and good ac lovers as well) Entrance fees was only Rm3 kalau xsilap.

Hang Tuah katanya~ This was inside the ship

Muzium Samudera. Panas sikit time ni

Suka dpt explore kapal. Naik sampai deck atas. Suka

Habis pusing kapal, kita pekena nasi beriani Haji Thamby. Yang ni mmg win sgt sebab kedai biasa biasa je tapi nasi dia walawehhhhhhhhh sedap nya. rasa mcm nak tapau je tp mujur tak tamak, sebab mlm tu kita dh plan nak makan makan juga..hehehe asyik makan jeee iman and amsyar kata. xbest lah asyik makan. budak budak mana suka.dah lah dedua bukan pemakan ;p

See the menu behind.kalau nampak ;)

Ni diaaaa yang marvelous tuhhhh... RM10 sepinggan. tp sedap yakamat! :) Ada kambing, daging atau ayam

Petang kita check in hotel, semua pitammm..dah pekena kaskas mana tak pitammmm :) Iman n amsyar tido kejap je pun. berendam bath tub buat bubble bath. suka sikit dpt bath tub sebab jarang jumpa ;p Adik mikhail pun pitam time ni.letih woo dr pg berjalan/malam nanti nak keluar balik :) Ptg nak ke swimming pool hajatnya, pun tak jadi. sebab malas nk bersiap bagai.tunggu malam ajelahh :)


Malam tu lepas maghrib baru kita keluar blk. Mmg dh plan nak g naik boat pusing pusing bandar melaka naik River cruise tu lah.. best juga and trip dia mcm dlm 40mins juga. Dia pusing dr Kg Morten tu susur sampailah ke museum samudera. Pastu dia patah balik.sesambil naik tu dia pusingkan rakaman lah pengenalan kita kat mana kat mana, bangunan ni apa bangunan tu apa..pastu buka lagu keroncong..hehehe..ni naik malam malam baru layannnnzzzzzzzzzz...

Mikhail suka bila cruise dh mula gerak

From inside the cruise. selesa juga lah. recommended naik mlm2.kalau siang panas rasanya~

Sg Melaka at the riverbank 

The boys before the cruise. Suka dpt naik cruise.masing masing bwk teropong souvenir rm5.haha

Ok setel river cruise. A good 40mins so far..hehe. Dah penat ronda naik the river cruise we decided to have some seafood galore for dinner :) Memang dh plan jugalah nk mkn seafood. Jam pun masa ni belum 10pm so jomlahhh.. Orang ramai suggest Umbai or Serkam, tp teringat kat are muara Sg Duyong mmg tempat ikan fresh fresh berlabuh. Makanya..jomlah kita try sini.tgk apa rezeki kita. Redah je masa ni xde booking booking pun. tempat pun ikut waze ja..


 Dah smpai sini mcm dlm kul 10+ ms tu org pun dh start bersurai dah (maybe kemuncak dia 8-10pm kot) and mmg penuh. Mujur juga sampai lambat, terus boleh walk in dpt meja. Restoran dia besar n bersih and mmg seafood ajelah ado.goreng2 ada juga tp mostly org mkn seafood dgn nasi lemak bungkus daun pisang rm1.

Cara order dia, kita beratur pilih lauk apa nak, and then bgtau dia masak apa kita nk. slalunya dia terus suggest. Tp ambik seafood tu dia yg ambikkan, kita bgtau nk brp kg. so mcm..hmm sikit disitu.tp xpelah.ikan ikan boleh lah nk pilih nk yg gemuk ke kurus ke..alhmdulillah semua fresh n manis manis betul.rasa laut tu still ada...chewahh. kemain lg!.

The verdict : Recommended lah utk korang g sini. Harga pun ok.kitorg mkn sotong sedulang tu, udang butter lg, lala goreng pedas and ikan cencaru bakar  2ekor..masuk air itu ini rm79.90. So rs mcm sgt berbaloi. Alhmdulillah~

Ni mmg masuk senarai utk repeat!

Malam tu ronda ronda lagi area banda hilir. Byk night clubs lah yg beroperasi area a famosa n jonker walk tu..Saja jln2 kasi nasi turun ke perut kata nya. Melaka ni bandar nya kecik je.pusing pusing pun situ jelah nya.. Dah puas ronda kita balik hotel..layan movie and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz... esok sambung lagi jenjalan!

Hard Rock Cafe Banda Hilir. Tak masuk pun. jenguk saja..hehe

Melaka Day 2 : A famosa, Dataran Pahlawan, Keria Antarabangsa, Klebang and Pengkalan Balak! 

Mujurlah two days ja ke Melaka ni... tu pun x habis habis tulis.kikkikki... Pagi pagi tu kita turun breakfast buffet and jalan jalan area Hang Tuah Mall dpn Hotel. Buffet spread ok sgt hotel ni. extensive. Kids pun dine for free (rasanya under 7 dine for free). And food pun boleh tahan sedap. Rezeki kami kot masa tu rs semua nya sedap saja. Alhmdulillah~

After check out kul 12 kita terus kan berjalan area bandar hilir juga. Ke A famosa and Menara Taming Sari kat bandar hilir. Area ni juga byk je jual jual souvenirs and foodies yg sinonim dgn melaka mcm dodol, cencalok and belacan. Ada few muziums area a famosa juga yg kami xmasuk pun macam Natural Science Musium and musium kemerdekaan. SO kita kenal sikit sikit dulu : Kota A famosa and Menara Taming Sari :) Jom let the pictures tell the stories..

Dataran Pahlawan ni is actually an underground shopping mall yg menarik for a very sunny afternoon break. Inside the mall ada satu bahagian yg jual traditional goodies mcm belacan, craft items and also gula melaka. We bought a rotan takraw ball here (lama dah mommy cari ni!) and daddy bought a wooden rubber band pistol (pistol cicak) for rm5! :)

Inside the Menara Taming Sari ride. Best naik ni :) The kids (and mommy) enjoyed this..

Marvelous view from high in the sky in Menara Taming Sari.

Depan Menara Taming Sari : Panas betul masa ni~

Panas cing cing pun mommy paksa ambik pic with the iconic A Famosa. There was one spanish lady selling bracelets inside the A famosa..mcm haremm je. Meniaga pula dlm tu..dahlah warga asing.  Nope we didnt climb the church up the hill...tinggi tak sesuai dgn babies and small kiddos.

Handsome boys behind the monument. Panas oi time ni. Alhmdulillah panas..better than hujan.

Nice park in front of menara taming sari

Pahlawan Walk Market : Semua ada sini. Harga pun murah murah sajorr

Dah menghala ke petang tu, kita pun gerak mencari jalan pulang ke kl dah lah. plannya nak singgah2 lah cari keria limbongan and klebang coconut shake. Alhmdulillah kesampaian juga. Dah petang betul2 dah ms tu. rezeki jugalah ada lagi belaka ;)

The ori katanya ~

Lepas asar tu kita singgah pengkalan balak makan makan sikit sMakan makan sikit sebelum balik ke pangkal jalan. Kena try mee kari melaka and nasi goreng ayam pedas tepi pantai area sini. Memang terangkat pedasnya J

Dapat merasa angin petang pantai pun dah best dah. Ms ni xmandi pun pantai semua dah letih dah J Tapi pantai pengkalan balak ni mmg best..landai je..and bersih and byk chalet chalet and gerai gerai tepi pantai J

Nasi goreng ayam sedap - RM5!! 

Keria Antarabangsa Hj Jalil Limbongan. Alhmdulillah dpt juga rasa! Sedapp bila panas2 tu.. beratur boleh tahan dekat 2jam. sb kata suami, dh smpai ni kenalah rs yg ori. tp kalau uols xkisah, diorg kat yg batu berendam sama je..katanya lah..kitorg xdan g. skrg harga pun dah naik..sebiji rm0.60.

Last tempat persinggahan _ Pantai Pengkalan Balak. I always love pengkalan balak sebab dia mcm more kekampungan and back to nature. Takdelah mcm tmpat pelancongan sgt. kat sini kitorg pekena mi kari marvelous rm3.50 mmg sodap sgt..! 

All in all travelling with small kids (read active boys) is quite a hassle but manageable. Kena 100% alert dgn sekeliling and pastikan semua boys cukup mkn esp the big boy (daddy) haha.. So bila semua org selesa and gembira dah ok cukup. Satu jelah yg ralat sikit ms ni, nk mkn asam pedas Hjh Mona xdapat sebab ms smpai tu belanga dh licin! mmg xde rezeki lah..tak pe melaka dokek aje...nanti kita repeat! 

Oh satu lg kna g after this. Museum kapalselam klebang. Inshallah nanti ya..

:)

So bye Melaka for now. We had a great time! building up great memories for the boys. Semua pun mcm happy and maybe kena repeat balik sebab xsempat nk singgah area ayer keroh nya attractions pun.. So see you again Melaka!


Love,

Zahra 😍
