I didn't know that there is a Democracy Museum at the back of Stadhuys near St Paul Church ruins. Picture taken from a high ground on the way to St. Paul Church ruins. Can you see The Eye of Malaysia Ferris Wheel and also the Gryo tower? Great view from here!
St Paul Church ruins. I have to carry my daughter on piggy back down this hill because her sandal strap broke. Luckily, we found a shop selling leather sandal at the foothill along Stadhuys.
One of the tombstones inside St Paul Church. A marbale slab translating the words inscribed on the tombstone to English. Unfortunately, not well maintained by the authorities and I cannot see some of the words.
The well inside the St Paul Church. The clocktower outside Stadhuys.
Nice little windmill accross the road from Stadhuys
All the chicken rice balls restaurant were packed with tourist. Just look at the queue! We decided to eat elsewhere!
It has been ages since I last seen this type of hard sugar candy. We called it Khong Theng or tok tok theng, after the tok tok sound made by the metal chisel and hammer used to knock the hard candy into pieces!
The Baba and Nyonya Heritage Museum, where they filmed the famous Singapore series, The Little Nyonya staring Janette Aw. However I was rather disapointed because visitors are not allowed to take pictures of the exhibits!
Then it was time for lunch. We dropped by in Ly Sing Restaurant which is a corner shop at Plaza Mahkota row of shoplots along Jalan PM2. Ly Sing is located just right at the junction of Jalan PM1 and Jalan PM2, opposite the Menara Taming Sari (Gyro Tower rides). GPS Latitude 2.190348,Longitude 102.246537.
Szechuan Chicken with Rice RM4.80 and Ginger Spring Onion Fish with rice RM4.80
My BBQ Chicken chop, which cost only RM6.50. I washed down my nice lunch with a glass of famous Melaka Sin Sing Iced Coffee (Kopi Peng) RM1.40. The picture of the corner Ly Sing restaurant.
Then, the morning before my sister goes back to Penang, I roasted a Xmas Roast Chicken for her to take back for my Mom and Dad. They are too old to travel and celebrate Xmas with us in KL. My mom used to tell me when I was a young boy, how she misses eating Xmas Roast Turkey. Well, I guess instead of using a turkey which would require a long time for me to prepare, a Xmas roast chicken would do! LOL!

What a wonderful day it looks like you had with your family, so many interesting sights!
good morning Pete.. so u went to Malacca.. i last went there in 2008for my colleague's wedding.. that time the Little Nyonya not shown yet otherwise i would have went in too.. yes, i heard they dont allow photographing, it is a private museum..
Malacca is a great place for a short holiday. The food's great too. Did you try the Nyonya laksa and cendol at Jonker Street Dessert? Very good! :)

Melaka change so much, i last went there i think is 4-5 years ago? That Gryo Tower and the duck tours also something new to me.
I love that hard sugar candy, we called it "ding ding" candy. Can find it in some morning market.
I'm like manglish... I dun like turkey too... too hard, and too dry. Not nice to eat... it's just like eating chicken breast, and only suitable for sandwich! Where got nice to eat?
tx for sharing photos of malacca.. always liked the place... the food, and the portugese and babanyonya influence there.
