2Days one Night staycation in Melaka

These shoes are made for walking and walking was what we did during our short vacation down to Melaka.  We took the opportunity to travel down to Melaka after paying our respects at Nilai. When we reached Melaka it was time for lunch and we had ours at the nyonya restaurant where we ordered some of the classic nyonya dishes.    

Apppetiser - Pie Tee.. 

It is the sambal belacan that brought this simple plain looking dish to a new level of spiciness and enjoyment
