Malacca 2 days one night trip

I used to stay at Malacca for about 3 years..
Early this year, i went back to Malacca for a 2 days one night trip with friends from my hometown.
Malacca is such a awesome place and Melaka heritage area is well known for their Peranakan culture and their foods.

The below pictures is Malacca famous food- chicken rice ball.

 Chicken rice is basically rice that has been cooked in chicken stock topped with either Chinese-style roast chicken (red) or boiled chicken (white) and some sauce made from soy sauce and chicken/sesame oil. And then of course, you have pork rice which comes with either barbecued pork (or char-siu which is made from loin marinated with Chinese-style barbecue sauce) or roast pork (which is pork belly with crispy rind).
The what so special about the chicken rice is that they made it in a ball shape...if people see from far, the rice ball just look alike like fish ball...but still i prefer the normal chicken rice, that is much more nicer...

San Poh Teng temple

one of the well in San Poh Teng Temple




Bukit Cina (Malay: "Chinese Hill") is a hillside of historical significance in the capital of Malaysian state of Malacca, Malacca Town. It is located several kilometers to the north from the historical center of Malacca (Dutch town and Chinatown), but these days, it's surrounded by the modern city on all sides.
According to the local tradition, in the mid-15th century, princess Hang Li Poh, the great granddaughter of the  Chinese Yongle Emperor, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was sent to be married to the Sultan of Malacca, Sultan Mansor Shah, to seal relations between the two countries. The hill, Bukit Cina, a gift from the sultan, was established as their residence. The Well of  Hang Li Poh, which is next to the San Poh Teng Tenple at the foot of the hill, was constructed by Hang Li Po's followers for her personal use but was also an important source of water for much of the town. Today, the well has acquired the reputation of a  Wishing well and it is believed that anyone who throws a coin into the well will return to Malacca.

These are some of the historicall place of Malacca that i've gone.. I'll go back there to discover more interesting places...

Is it this is due to i've thrown a coin into the Wishing well in the San Poh Teng Temple?? haha....whatever.
