Interested to have a local online Melaka Travel Guide buddy?

Congratulations! You have made the right CLICK.

City Turtle hopes that this Melaka Travel Guide review will be beneficial to you.

I have always fallen in love with Melaka (Malacca), a warm and exotic city in Asia. Come; let’s relax & enjoy as CityTurtle share with you the historical Melaka, from special hang out places to restaurants, local eateries and many in this Melaka Travel Guide.

Melaka (Malacca) has risen from a “sleepy hollow“ to a very unique city. This is the only place on earth where you could find ruins and monuments both from Asia and Europe within walking distance! It ranges from the Malay Sultanate, China, India, Dutch, Portuguese, British and even Japanese! Sort of; as the Japanese only leave us the memory but no monuments.

Places of interest are Porta de Santiago, ruins of Dutch Fort, The Stadthuys, St. Peters Church, Cheng Hoon Teng Temple , Indian Temples and the list goes on. Check out the attraction places found in Melaka Travel Guide.

Taking a stroll in Melaka will be like traveling through the era of Malay Sultanate with the mixture of Chinese & India influence, Dutch Empire, Portuguese & British.

TIP: Fastest and easiest way to know about Malaysia? Just visit Melaka!

It is a must visit state or your Malaysia travel tour will be incomplete! Reason, this is where Malaysian history started. Be it from the Malay Sultanate era or the declaration of Malaysia’s independence!

The best part about Melaka will be the finger & mouth watering dishes, cakes & desserts!

Whenever, I think of the Melaka cuisine, automatically I will be swallowing a mouthful of saliva. A picture of a few exotic dishes will be flying in my mind. One, two, three..Oh, it…s countless! You simply have to see and try it yourself, as seeing is believing and tasting is unbelievable...

Firstly, Nyonya Baba signature dishes like Pong Teh, Loh Bak, Chap Chai, Itik Tim, Acar and so on. Desserts include Cendol, Bubur Cha Cha & Tai Bak.

By the way, there’s a place in Bkt. Rambai where they serve the best original Cendol in Melaka! Click here for Bukit Rambai Cendol. What I mean by original is that, the Cendol is made from the Cendol leaves itself! No artificial colouring! The colour of the Cendol looked like dark turquoise green. It is served cold on a small bowl with Gula Melaka, coconut milk & boiled red beans in.

Next will be dishes from the Malay, Chinese, Indian & Portuguese Ethnics. Nasi Lemak Kukus, Satay Celup, Nasi Beriani Tanam, Tosai, Roti Canai, Cha Tau Keuy and so on. I can’t wait to write about the Melaka food in this Melaka Travel Guide!

If you are an antique and arts lover, Melaka town will also be the best shopping place!

Simply take a stroll along Jalan Hang Jebat (previously known as Jonker Street) and along Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (previously known as Heeren Street). You will find rows of old shops where antique, artifact and arts collection are in abundance. Take your own sweet time to choose and please remember to BARGAIN!

Do you want to know more about what Melaka can offer you? Buckle up; relax and let City Turtle your Melaka Travel Guide give you a ride to the warm and exotic city of Melaka, Malaysia.
