It is a considered long weekend public holidays. Alvin planned for us to spend the weekend together at Malacca. We started our journey early morning nearly around 6.00am. Our car almost got heated up, but we safely arrived at our destination.
We reached Malacca around 8.00am. Alvin drove us straight to a famous Siang Chang Kopitiam which famous for its steamed or toasted bread and the half boiled eggs.
Besides that, we ordered a bowl of Nyonya Laksa to try. I love the toasts and the eggs, but frankly speaking I do not like the Laksa, it is tasteless. I still like Sarawak Laksa more.
After our breakfast, it is still early to check-in to our homestay, thus we went to the Melaka Submarine Museum. We bought the entrance tickets. Before we went into the museum, there is a pony ride and carriage ride outside at the field there.
Issac and Annabelle were trying to ride on the pony. There was an accident happened during Issac was riding the pony. He was over thrown by the pony and luckily he was alright and nothing serious or bad thing happened.
After Alvin helped him to clean off the dirt and changed to new pants and T-shirt, we just walked towards the museum. We can see 2 fighter jet planes displayed.
We walked to the submarine and get the chance to see submarine up close and to go inside and witness the living and working conditions of submariners.
The submarine is propped up on steel supports on dry land and is open to the public as museum. The submarine named the SMD Ouessant, an Agosta 70 class submarine which was built in 1978 by Arsenal de Cherbourg in France.
It was decommissioned by the French Navy in 2001 and subsequently transferred to the Royal Malaysian Navy where it was used as training vessel from 2005 – 2009 it is an electric/diesel powered non-nuclear submarine.
We are allow to enter the hull of the submarine via stairs near the bow and walk through the narrow corridor inside before existing near the rear.
The Ouessant is still crammed with its original equipment such as the torpedo launching platform, torpedo bays, engine room, navigational and communications equipment as well as the cramped mess room and sleeping accommodation of the crew.
It was almost 10.00am when we left the museum, we headed to the famous coconut shake place and had our cold dessert for such a hot sunny day. We had some Mee Rebus, Nasi Lemak, and Coconut Shake too.
We love especially the coconut shake top with vanila ice cream in the coconut! That is really yummy delicious!
After which we checked in to our homestay at Casa Blanca Guest House which is near to the Jonker Street. And the whole afternoon and evening we were walking around the Jonker Street area and eat a lot!
