Good morning Julia Vochkova I love your drawing. |
With an early morning rise I roamed the town looking for food as usual and here I was at Cheong Heng for a meal of dry noodle. |
The shop was crowded and popular among students before attending their classes. |
My noodle with roasted pork and a side order of braised soya tofu and egg. |
My folded bicycle neatly tucked underneath the table while I ate my breakfast peacefully |
The damage at Cheong Heng. |
t's checking out at Muarar 99 Hotel. |
Passing the elegant Muar clock tower. |
Good bye Muar as I crossed Sultan Ismail Bridge along route 5 or Jalan Kesang. |
Another crown seen at Jalan Kesang before I turned off into the kampung road at Jalan Kesang Laut. |
After 14km I was at the border entering the State of Melaka |
Sg Rambai, Melaka |
Masjid Jamek Ar Rahim at the junction of Jalan Muar Lama. A mosque built during the time of Dato Anuar Ibrahim when he was the Deputy Prime Minister. |
I befriended this Imam from the mosque, Iman Haji Mohd trying out the bike while I was having a drink at his shop just opposite the mosque. |
Makam Tun Teja, the burial ground of the legendary beauty in Merlimau. |
Attracted by a row of old bicycle display in a kampung. |
Masjid Kampung Tedong surrounded by paddy field.
The old mosques in Melaka have a peculiar feature of a combination of Malay, Chinese, Hindu and Sumatran influence. The minaret resembles a pagoda. |
And slowly I inched into the historical city. |
I rode without wearing any cap for the rest of the ride just to even up my sun tan. |
At last I have reached the gateway of the Portuguese fortress, A Famosa and at the Red Square where the Stadthuys building built by the Dutch.
I checked into Cafe 1511 next to the Nyonya Baba Museum at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. |
So happy to be able to meet my friends again in Melaka. |
Cendol special at Kocik Kitchen |
And a small bite of Nyonya kueh. |
An hour later there was a pre-gathering of Brompton buddies at Hard Rock Cafe for a Melaka warm-up ride. |
There were friends from Thailand who have came to Melaka specially for this Historical Brompton Ride. |
The fun and joy riding together at Melaka.
A bit of ride at the river of Melaka. |
Capitol Delicious Seafood Back Alley near Mdm King’s, Jalan Bunga Raya. |
Our treat for our Thai guests at this unique back alley food. |
Grilled cutterfish at the back alley |
We were all full to the throat and could not stomach anymore. We just watch the famous Fried oyster man at work, Medan Makan Boon Leong. |
