Malaysia Kuala Lumpur And Malacca 25/8 – 29/8/2010 Day 3

Malaysia homestay

This morning, the 3rd day of our Malaysia Kuala Lumpur trip, we went to have a tour of Blessings Homestay, a great and cozy Malaysia homestay accommodation with a truly Malaysian feel.

After saying our goodbyes soon after 0900 hrs, we made our way to Klang which is famous for their bak kut teh (pork bone soup). We tried the one just below the bridge, also popularly known as Klang Bak Kut Teh (under the bridge) at co-ordinates:- N3 02.612 E101 26.895 which we found to be quite tasty and fragrant. At RM42 (USD13.53) for the three of us, it does not come cheap.

We started our drive to Malacca at 1040 hrs. However we had a hard time getting out of Klang even with the aid of the Garmin global positioning system as the roads have been changed and our map was not fully updated.

We finally started our journey to Malacca at 1100 hrs. Taking a slow and easy drive, we stopped by Ayer Keroh petrol station to fill up the gas tank before exiting at Ayer Keroh.

Before going into Malacca, we stopped by a few hotels for site inspection to see if we could use the venues for our upcoming "The Opening" event in Nov:- Puteri Resort, Ayer Keroh Country Resort and D’Village Hotel.

After the site inspections which took a total of 2 ½ hours, we made our way to a Malacca boutique hotel, Arenaa DeLuxe Hotel in Ujong Pasir. Having stayed in Arenaa once before, we love the place for its beautiful furnishing and thus booked this boutique hotel once again.

Upon arriving at Arenaa De Luxe Hotel in Malacca, we took a rest whilst waiting for hubby to join us in the hotel. Dinner was with our Malaccan friend, Edwin, back at Delicious Home Taste Restaurant where we enjoyed the food before and made it a point to go back there to savour the delicious food once again.

Dinner was great as usual and we had a great time connecting with Edwin once again and sharing ideas.

We returned to Arenaa De Luxe hotel and enjoyed the lovely furnishings in the lobby whilst chatting with Edwin further and discussing places of interest in Malacca as well as yummy food joints.

After talking for some time, a friend of Edwin returned to the hotel and Edwin introduced Lucy to us. We ended up going for Satay Celup (steamboat satay) supper with Lucy at Ban Lee Siang @ Jalan Ong Kim Wee. This is an interesting concept where you select your food on skewers from the refrigerator and dip into hot peanut sauce to cook.

Another popoular Satay Celup shop is at Capitol Restaurant located along Bukit China. However, be prepared to queue as the seating capacity is smaller than Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup.
