Christmas Holiday in Malaysia (19 - 30 Dec 2022) - Part 5 (Melaka)

The holiday is almost over, we were going to South now and stopped by at Melaka for a night. We spent our time trying local authentic food like chendol, chicken rice and other local snacks.

 

Christmas Holiday in Malaysia (19 - 30 Dec 2022) - Part 4 (Ipoh)

We moved to another city which is Ipoh, it's 2 hours drive from Cameron Highland. The city is quiet but rich in flavour. The food was nice especially in the Old Town Ipoh. Ipoh is a unique city because it's surrounded by the limestones.

We spent 3 days 2 nights there. Our serviced apartment is facing the lake and limestones.

We arrived in the evening and had dinner at sushi restaurant.

The next day we spent most of the time in the hotel, using hotel facilities as they had badminton court, table tennis court, gym, swimming pool.

We went to Old town for lunch eating their authentic local food which is Ipoh hor fun then we stopped by at famous concubine lanes which now became tourist place with lots of souvenir shops.

In the evening, we went to Lost World Hot Spring Theme park. It's so crowded and we couldn't enjoy it fully.

Christmas Holiday in Malaysia (19 - 30 Dec 2022) - Part 3 (Cameron Highlands)

On Christmas eve, we moved to another place which is the coldest place in West Malaysia. It took around 3 hours from Genting since there's traffic jam in the highway. 

When we entered Cameron Highlands area, it seemed like we were in the England suburbs. The buildings were Irish style. Thanks God our hotel was located in the city centre thus it's very convenient to find the amenities like food, laundry, pharmacies.

We had Christmas eve's dinner below the hotel, the food was good and cheap. It's a western food.

The next day we celebrated Christmas mass at the church nearby which was around 2 mins drive from the hotel. The mass was conducted in Mandarin and the homily was spoken in 3 languages.

After that we had full day tour from visiting the sheep farm, Boh tea plantation, and lavender garden and in the evening we had steamboat dinner at the hotel.

On the boxing day, we went to Strawberries farm for strawberry handpicking, the strawberries were sweet and juicy. Then we went to Iskandar waterfall, some of us dip in the water while the rest was taking photo.

The last day before we left to Ipoh, we went to Flora park and took a lot of beautiful pictures with the flowers background. It seemed like we were in the Flower Dome at Garden by the bay.
