Welcome to Melaka Just Relax, d’ place where you can find “your“ or rather “mine“ favourite spot around Melaka for relaxing and unwinding.
Melaka Town Area:
Let's start with your day with my Melaka Just Relax places in Melaka town area.
Breakfast or Branch:
Chop Chung Wah Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball. It has a nice old Coffee Shop environment but without the instant coffee. However, I try to avoid going there during the weekend and school holidays as it’s simply too crowded! What is Chicken Rice Ball?
Limau-Limau Café for bread and Fresh Fruit Juices. This café cater for a healthy choice of breakfast selections. In addition, the environment in the café is nice and relaxing. A perfect cozy place for Melaka Just Relax!
Lunch/Tea break:
You can head to Café 1511 for delicious Nyonya Food and at the same time get shelter from the blazing hot sun. You could either enjoy your beer or cold drink while “savouring“ the Peranakan décor or the food in the Café.
Dinner:
Honky Tonk Haven Café for a more serene and quit environment. I love to unwind myself by “savouring“ the beautiful night scene of Melaka River. As for My Rock & Roll Blues Café, it’s a place to rock and roll while enjoying western food!
Night Life in Melaka could be found at Melaka Raya. Some of the notable LOUD places among the youngsters will be Pure Bar and The Cube. This is the place for the youngsters to enjoy themselves.
Out from Melaka Town Area:
If you are more adventurous, head out from the bustling Melaka town towards the Klebang Beach area for more Melaka Just Relax places. There are a few recommended “Food Stops“ further down the road up to Tanjung Kling where Melaka Famous warrior; Hang Tuah’s Mausoleum is located.
For a nice thin crunchy Roti Canai breakfast, drop by the Malay Stall opposite the Bintang Shopping Centre. It is just located within 100meter after Seafarer.
If you prefer Nasi Lemak Berlauk , just drive further down the same road. Just opposite a school named S.K Lereh, is a Malay stall by the road side (on your right) selling Nasi Lemak Berlauk and delicious Teh Tarik. The taste of Teh Tarik is slightly different from the other Malay stalls as I think they mix some boiled red bean water with it. Please take note that this “Food Stop“ is very famous and you need to drop by as early as 8.30 in the morning to prevent “disappointment“!
Too late for the Lereh Nasi Lemak Berlauk? No problem, just head down towards Kampung Kling or Hainam Village. There is an old Chinese Coffee Shop named Hoe Kopitiam on your right. You should try the Seafood Mee Goreng and Yong Tau Foo. Click here to know more about the Hoe Kopitiam
After having your fill, you can visit Hang Tuah Mausoleum. It is located around 300 meters from Hoe Kopitiam. Later, you could even bring your family to Pantai Puteri for a walk along the sandy beaches. The kids can even fly their kites there.
Are you tired and thirsty? Maybe a bowl of cold Cendol or Tai Bak will be nice. Just head back to Klebang beach and at Batang Tiga Traffic Light, turn left towards Bukit Rambai. After you passing a Chinese Temple on your right, slow down as the Bukit Rambai Cendol stall is on your right. It is located around 200 meters away after the Chinese Temple. The stalls only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 12.30p.m to maybe 3.00p.m. Click here to know more about Bukit Rambai Cendol.
If you happened to drop by Pulau Gadong, you can opt to drop by Sunday Ice Café. This old café serves several types of delicious shaved Ice. During my schooling days, my friends and I love to drop by Sunday Ice Café for the “No 1 Treasure Ice“, Crocker Laksa and Rojak Kangkong . Sunday Ice Café opens at 4.30 p.m to 11.00 p.m. Come and visit this Melaka Just Relax page often for more relaxing places and enable you to pamper your tastebuds!
