in this video i'm going to take you on the ultimate 24 hour trip to one of malaysia's most
beautiful heritage town malacca this town is known for its incredible red streets extensive canals
beautiful architecture and unique history with malaysian chinese portuguese dutch and
british influence all intermingling to create this visually stunning city this unique mix of cultures
creates a culinary experience that defines this town as a must do when you visit malaysia
to be completely honest with you didn't expect to like it from endless coffee shops along the canal
to unique and local nanya dishes at junker walk night market and
the seemingly infinite number of restaurants specializing in the sour and spicy fish dish
asan petas malacca will surprise you just like it did for me now let's get stuck into the
ultimate 24-hour trip in malacca malaysia okay we're here well at a bus station here i guess
bus just got here it's about 2 30 so it took probably the two and a half hours pretty much
exactly um but now we're just trying to get a grab to where we're staying here in malacca we're here
all right so we just got out of the grab and we are right smack bang here in the middle of malacca
well at least the area we're staying in when we were coming here i had a look online and the first
thing i saw and the first thing michael showed me were these big buildings just like painted red
i was like that's really cute and pretty so we're staying right here but first we're gonna check in
and then we're gonna go out and get some food straight away uh it's been a while we haven't
had any food yet so let's have a look at our hotel okay so we've checked into this small hotel it is
quite smack bang in the middle of everything it is very simple very simplistic
i am confused as to why the bathroom is bigger than the room the actual room but anyway i digress
it has a massive bathroom big shower you could have another bed in there if you wanted to because
out here is quite small you just have the bed there's a little desk under the air con and not
that much room to move around but there's a place to hang your clothes it's literally all you need
i mean we're only here for one night or so so we only have to stay and basically sleep here so it's
fine um i just confused why is the bathroom so big i just want to know so since we haven't eaten all
day yet we are first stopped to get some lunch and i wanted to eat by the river so we're here at ruby
cafe and boutique and we're gonna get something to eat maybe a coffee and i'm really excited whoa
the water oh it's right there it's literally all in the water oh the cafe's closed okay scratch
that we're not at rubies we're going down to find one that is open but this is beautiful we've got
the river right here and everything's like colorful it's right on the river like lining it
and look yellow walls this is really pretty it's really like picturesque okay so we've checked
three four places now and no one's open till five and it's only like about four so i don't
know where we're going to go to eat but this is the church of francis xavier francois xavier
francis i said francis first but i wasn't sure he knows friends francis xavier that's
yeah newcastle that's where i'm from it's what the biggest church where i'm from is also named
after francis serbia really in newcastle yeah so we've sort of walked down from the river
because nothing was open and we walked past these like side streets side alleys everything is so
pretty here and now we're just walking down jonker street and apparently this is where
the night market is that we're coming to tonight so stay tuned for that we're going to be coming
here later on for some more food but right now i need to find something else to eat
and nothing seems to be well not much seems to be open right now so
we're walking up here and there's not only like old shops there's also new shops like
sneaker stores there's a pharmacy there's like watsons um but everything's got like an
old feel obviously it's a heritage site right it looks really cool right now we do
we aren't blessed with the best of weather if you can tell there's a little bit of
drops of rain okay we probably have timed this absolutely horribly to be completely
completely honest with you nothing is open and we are kind of here in that awkward time so
things are closing at five and it's 20 to five then the night market starts at six so i think
that everything is closing so that the night market can set up and go but i'm now hungry
for an hour until the night market starts and i don't know where to go everything is closed this
apparently is really popular for the chicken balls in the corner there closed road cheaper
car back there closed all right let's see if we can find at least a coffee for me in some cafe
so we just had a little bite to eat and something to drink sitting while
we waited for the market to open at six o'clock there was boats over the river
everything started to get a little bit darker boats were still flying but now we've come back
and the market seems really alive behind us it's definitely a change of atmosphere
definitely a change of vibe let's see what they have and let's try something special shall we
okay so we are walking down this market and it is pretty busy i'm not gonna lie you're pretty much
shoulder to shoulder with someone but it looks like it goes forever they're just lit up all
the way down this street all the way to the very end literally further than i can see away there's
certainly a lot of stalls and they're back-to-back it's busy there's food there's like things to buy
there's like knick-knacks there's phone cases there's like shoes clothes there's everything
here so we are on the hunt for something to eat and i think i want to try abc so as well as the
abc we're actually looking for the nonya dumpling which i think is sort of only local to melaka
i believe if i'm wrong tell me in the comments below i love to learn
i love you guys to tell me and teach me so um so we're looking for the abc and maybe something fun
is really interesting i'm seeing like so many different types of food
but i'm seeing a lot of thai food as well like it reminds me of when we're in
thailand for six months and we're eating from the market so we're walking past and i saw
fried ice cream and i was like how can ice can be fried it's from the freezer very confusing
so i got the oreo one because i love oreos so we're gonna try this it was 450 ringgit oh
you know what i kind of like that it tastes really unhealthy in a good way
does that make sense all right oh that's oh easy fast thank you oh
sorry sorry probably a bad idea there's a lot of people here all right so we have a kaya waffle
now there's one thing that i've fallen in love with oh thank you thank you so much thanks so
much after having kaya toast in singapore and also where do we have it here what we've got here
i am obsessed with kaya let's go eat over here okay it's cold i kind of expected it to be warm
like there's more ball than there is filling so it can't really taste like higher that much
a little bit disappointing we've secured the nunya dumpling let's go from what i understand then
so from what i understand the nunya is a type of cuisine that came from
the early chinese migrants that settled in singapore malacca and connect so it's the
ninja style dumpling and it's wrapped in a string i can't get off hold on
no it's actually stuck this is heavy i think that's me is that me oh that's that's that's
that's different it's got big chunks i i don't honestly think i like the combination
i don't like the meat with the sticky rice but on its own i like both things i like
sticky rice and i like meat together maybe not so much okay so we are going to head back now
we went to stop and get the abc the cendol and all the places were either full busy or closed
so we're hoping that we're still here tomorrow we're here for the whole 24 hours so we have a
full 24 hours here in malacca which means we now have another 12 hours to go in the morning but
if you don't want to see me sleep good morning we're right in front of the historical square
here in malacca let's go check it out so good morning we are spending the morning here
in this square near where the red houses are and the big church as well it's one of the places that
everyone gathers as you can see there's quite a lot of people around so we're getting in line for
photos there's i love malaka sign there's shendol over there there's the bridge over there this is a
place that i think like everything sort of happens so we're having here and we're gonna have we're
having we're hanging here and we're gonna go have some food and some breakfast and show you a little
bit of that as well but this is apparently the place to sort of congregate and where everything
is with this beautiful fountain as well i don't know how i don't know why but there's an entire
group of people like they're dressed like the people from squid game it's really really cute
so since traveling i have noticed that each place kind of has a different kind of variation of like
like obviously there's two talks in bangkok and in thailand but these ones in malacca
are these like really loud hold on really loud bikes and here i'm coming
from literally a mile away they are the tungtoks of malacca i've realized
okay so we've just walked about 700 meters outside of the city to a part that we haven't actually
been to before and we're at asim pettis tj and we're gonna try these like sort of chilly sour
fish that all of you are telling us to try on our tick tocks so we're going to try that here
and i've ordered a milo ice how do i how do we get it self service which one is it yeah help me
it's going to show me how to eat how to get it one this one
oh are they different oh yes different so it's like chili or oh no all same but
a different fish oh different feet yes which one's the one i have to have which one's good
i recommend this one this one yes i recommend this one okay i'll have that one how do you when uh you
want uh rice or only asap right yeah one only right yes please it's rice oh you wanna separate
it's okay yeah on top uh and any butt one this one or this one maybe this one this one yeah
perfect awesome okay great yeah that's fine thank you so much very good i had to get my favorite
milo ice let's give it a try before it all melts with the ice
oh you just can't go wrong with milo wipes we have aston pettis here and apparently it's an
indonesian and style fish i came from indonesia but now it's really popular here in malacca
it's sort of like spicy and sour i think usually sometimes you can get it in like a stew or like
a clay pot we've come to like a mamak where it's like a buffet and you can kind of get however much
you want so he helped me out he was really nice and kind of did it for me we have been traveling
for a while and there are a lot of things that i've tried that i wouldn't normally try um it's
this is quite honestly far out of my comfort zone but this is the thing to try here you're
all telling me to do it so i'm gonna try it this is very different for me let's give it a go
oh it's really spicy is it nice i'm trying to get past the spice
the fish itself is really soft it does like sort of break apart in your mouth and even when you're
like like pulling it apart on the plate it comes apart quite easily and the fish is really soft and
really nice the um chili however is really hard for me to deal with even after eight months here
in southeast asia i'm still having trouble with the chili my lips so this semba um that's why
it's called spicy yeah okay it's the same taste from nasi lemak is it sambal can you tell us if
it is i'm pretty sure that's it it's the same taste okay so we just left there i still can't
feel my lips it was a little bit way too spicy for me um it was a little bit expensive a little bit
on the expensive side it was one a bowl of asam peres with a ice milo and a coke for 23 ringgit
so it was a little bit much but we're walking down the street now and we're seeing asan peres
like places restaurants everywhere like they're everywhere we've seen probably 20 since walking
down this street only so they you can't go wrong there's gonna be one around but they're everywhere
so on the way back from where we were we've just come across this like little market thing
there's clothes there's toys there's sunglasses and we're just walking through here to get back to
the heritage square because we're gonna try some cendol so we're just on the way back from there
because i can't feel my mouth i'm still on fire with spice so i need something to cool this down
so we're here at cendol kampung kulu and we everyone told us coming you all told us to come
here this is our very first cendol i lined up i waited i watched them make them all it's like a
44 like factory line of turn dolls here and it's so popular there's so many people out the front
i finally picked mine up i was number 344 and we have our channel here now we've been told
to mix it up so i'm mixing it right now mixing it all together all the ingredients i'm seeing
different things there's like beans like green like long things we've got the mango one so
there is mango on the top tell me your favorite flavor of chandel down below and then you've
just got a big eye stack in the middle so let's mix it all together and give it a give it a try
i didn't expect that to taste like that breakfast again it's got like a whole bunch of shaved ice
which is obviously super cold right but it kind of tastes like ice cream there's a big ice cream um
brown thing on the top but it's all melted together now um but it kind of just tastes
like ice cream to me very cold though my teeth are a little bit sore the beans in this one
are a bit strange they are sweet but i think i prefer it without the beans they're not
my favorite but everything else in here is so good honestly to be completely honest with you
i didn't expect to like it but i do isn't that the best thing you try things that you don't
think that you like and then you end up liking them this is great i want to know what kind of
cendol you have like what flavor the original the mango i saw a durian one but
i think i'm durianed out from our six months to thailand it is super busy out here it's a saturday
so everyone's probably out for the weekend but we're going to finish off this channel and then
we're going to head back to the bus in a minute to wrap up our full exactly 24 hours here in malacca
okay so this is our bus back to kuala lumpur it is 3 p.m we got here at 3 p.m yesterday so that wraps
