On the last day of the road trip, we headed for the International buffet breakfast which is ALOT better in terms of spread in comparison to the breakfast at the club lounge. I guess the only difference is the service as it is quieter up at the lounge. We decided to take light breakfast again before we head for the Teochew Bak Kut Teh. We managed to find out about this BKT where we first stayed at La Boss Hotel which is just next to it. This is the first BKT that we see majority where the local patronized. |

We woke up early to head up to the Club lounge for Continental breakfast before heading out for our REAL breakfast. LOL! No choice where we ain't going to sacrifice our complimentary breakfast from the hotel! PapaTan was chatting with his brothers about going on a road trip together to Melaka and we decided to drive in during the Good Friday Long weekend since we do not need to apply leave for a strong getaway. This is also the first time we travel together which makes all of us really excited! We were left with limited hotel choices as Melaka is a popular choice for Singaporean. Ended up we picked the club room at Equatorial Hotel Melaka for about $150 per room per night. (Incl of access to club lounge, daily buffet breakfast and also the cocktail session in the evening) Pretty expensive as we prefer spending lesser for our accommodation and use the additional cash on food and shopping instead. We decided to make it more like a rest and relax trip as there are toddlers, baby and pregnant in the group among 3 cars that drove in. We decided to drive in the night before as the brothers decided to meet early that morning but unfortunately they were stuck in a jam while crossing custom for almost 4 hours. We finally meet up at the Cai Fan shop along JB before we start the drive up to Melaka. Heard from papaTan that the traffic is relatively slow to Melaka as there are alot of cars and lorries along the highway. That actually extend the duration from our usual 2 hours to 3 hours. And finally we arrived Equatorial Hotel being seriously exhausted at 4pm. Decided to quickly check in and freshen up a little before we head out for dinner. We wrote special request upon booking via Agoda that we will be celebrating our Anniversary during our Stay in Melaka and this is what the hotel has prepared as a surprise for us. Pretty decent especially the amount of petals used to make this decor on the bed. We decided to keep them so that we can use it during our Hot tub soaking in the night :p We have patronized Equatorial Hotel during previous road trip to Melaka and we love the service. We are still very satisfied with the service this time round. They provides complimentary cot for Morris too! After putting down our luggage, we decided to head out to out for Dinner at CAPITOL SATAY CELUP @ LORONG BUKIT CINA as we reckon that it will be more crowded on Saturday instead of Friday. This is definitely a MUST-TRY when you visit Melaka as it is one of the famous food available. Simply like LOK LOK but to dip in Satay sauce. The Capitol Satay sauce is really thick and yummy but many will find it slightly unhygienic as they actually recycles the used sauce as refill for each table. The place opens at 5pm with a relatively long queue and we waited for almost 1.5 hours before we get ourselves a table at the small restaurant..
After filling our stomach, we decided to hit the mall and we go massive shopping at Padini Melaka. The dresses are like seriously CHEAP! We clocked almost 800RM of clothes that night while the brothers helped to babysit the children. That pretty sums up our 1st day at Melaka.
