As promised (and requested by many), this entry, I’ll be sharing about my experience in home stay which I would highly recommend my readers to try out at least once in your life time.

Travelling by Car;   From Malacca Town to Kampong Asahan: 57 minutes

Home Stay Accommodation

Asahan is a small village which is located in between Malacca and the Johor State. It is well known for its waterfall as well as its ledged mountain: Mount Ophir or the Gunung Ledang. Morning chills tickling down your spine could be felt greatly as location of the home stay is situated near the foot of the Gunung Ledang.

For as low as SGD $40 per night, be indulged by the traditional Kampong way of living and experience true Malaysian lifestyle.

Right behind the Gunung Ledang Mountain; what a cool atmosphere!

Not to worry, the villagers there do give great hospitality although we are a complete stranger to them. They are also eager to share their daily lifestyle of what they had experience in the kampong life.

Friendly village mates

If you have the chance, you are able to visit their personal farm (to eat harvested fruits!) like myself.

Yummy! Home grown baby dragonfruit. So sweet and juicy!

By staying at a Kampong environment, I also have an opportunity to be closer to nature.

I also got an opportunity to witness a Traditional Malay Wedding where it coincidently coincides with the days that I’m spending there. What a fortunate experience!

So let these pictures do its magic!

Do stay tuned as I will start sharing my experience on what The Malacca Town has to offer (with great photography ahead)! 

The Malacca Town, Part 1

Malaysia, a land that consists of 13 states and 3 federal territories become my first pit stop for my very first entry.

Let’s take a closer look to one of its state: The Malacca Town

Travelling by Car;   From Tuas Checkpoint to Malacca Town: 2 hours 31 Minutes

Being labelled as the most popular historical city in Malaysia, it’s definitely has various sightseeing views that could attract your attention. Relaxation, shopping as well as great food is all available within your reach.

Accommodation is usually the most important factor to complete your journey – where it determines your mood of holidaying in a foreign land. For this week entry, I would like to introduce to you 2 ways where you could enjoy your stay at Malacca Town which is cash friendly as well as full of precious memories ahead.

The Modern Accommodation

A journey of 1 minute from the Malacca Town, you could get an affordable night stay for as low as SGD $81 with a good friendly service at Hotel Orkid. Being surrounded with amenities; for example: hospital, food eatery and a 24hr convenient store, this would be a definite choice for back packers who prioritise in convenience. On top of that, there is a 24hr security service that patrols around the hotel area to ensure safety for their guests.

For ladies who are shopaholic, fear not, just a journey of 4 minutes from Hotel Orkid, you can pamper yourself to one of the most niche shopping attractions: The Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall. Shop and at the same time feel the heritage of the traditional Malacca Town.
