Welcome to Historic Malacca.
[music]
Hello from Malacca,
a charming historical city in Malaysia.
Very close to Kuala Lumpur.
We had a blast here in the morning.
Olá! (Hello)
That was in my previous video.
If you haven't seen, no worries, you can watch it later.
Stay with us here to see how this day continues.
[music]
Look at this, they discovered more ruins of the Portuguese wall.
Let's go for a boat tour to see a little bit more of the river.
Boat tours seem to be very traditional here.
[music]
You buy the ticket close to Dutch Square,
but you get the boat all the way there.
And boats are every 30 minutes.
Masuk (get in)
One thing for you to know about Malacca and be prepared,
most businesses here only take cash.
Even tourist attractions that you'd expect them to take credit card,
they don't.
Restaurants, cafes, forget it.
The only place that took credit cards so far
was the Tower this morning.
Terima kasih (thank you).
-Hello. -Hello.
[music]
Welcome to Historic Malacca.
-So much street art, right?
-Yes. -Really nice.
[music]
-Is this the old town where they have the old houses, I think?
-It might be.
That was a typical Malay house built without any nails,
just with pieces that are assembled together.
-Sentosa. -Oh, yeah.
The Malay Living Museum, Villa Sentosa
The best-preserved typical Malay house of a rich Malaysian family
in the early 20th century.
There's an audio guide in English explaining what you're seeing.
[music]
Just like the Portuguese and the Dutch and their churches,
this is the church that best represents the British here in Malacca.
Bye. Terima kasih (thank you).
[music]
-Is it a wedding? -Woman: Yeah, a wedding.
-How nice.
How beautiful.
[music]
Pool break again to recharge the energy.
But, first, let me show you an interesting place
that you can see from up here.
That's the Melaka Straits Mosque.
It's an interesting mosque as it's located on a man-made island.
And when the water level is high, it looks like it's floating.
I ended up not mentioning in the first vlog here in Malacca
that all that part near the Fort A Famosa,
the Portuguese Fort,
all that is land reclamation because the ocean used to be there.
[music]
This is paradise
These are really part of Malacca and it's amazing how loud they are.
[music]
Oh, wow. This is like a theme park.
[indistinct chattering]
The night market, this is the place to come on weekends,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Everything coconut here.
This is the desert, for sure.
Portuguese egg tart.
Which one? This one on top?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-This one? -This one, please, just one.
Let's try it.
So good.
Do you the eggs here inside?
It's a little sweet, but not sweet at the same time.
Love it, love it, love it. Really good
Stores here are still open.
This is the most unique.
Manicure on the street.
This might be good. There's a huge line here.
-Do you want one? -Gordon: No.
-Crab as an appetizer.
Amazing.
You asked them how does it taste like?
-Yeah. -Yeah. What did they say?
-It tastes like crab. Yeah, and it's not spicy.
-Not spicy? -And it's salty.
-Yeah. Aren't you curious? -No.
[laughs]
Ooh, 100% natural.
-Thank you. -Thank you, thank you.
I thought I'd get it right there.
But, no, she took it behind to steam it
and it took about five minutes, and then here it is.
And then I got my chocolate face.
Here.
Oh, it's so hot.
Really hot, really hot.
This is so cute.
I don't want to eat it.
Oh, there you go.
Mmm.
It's like a donut, but not deep-fried, so it's healthier.
[music]
It looks like it's karaoke going on there.
There is someone on stage, he calls people,
and then they go to the stage and start singing.
And people seem to be enjoying it.
[music]
[crowd cheering and applauding]
-One more time!
What did you get?
Mmm.
Let me try.
Mmm.
There are little pieces that come up the straw.
It is so good. Good choice.
Bye. Thank you. Terima kasih.
[music]
Chinese Burger, 3 for RM10, 3 for RM10.
-Gordon: Which one do you get? -Honey chicken.
They're selling this as Chinese burger.
There are two sides of eggs, and then some kind of filling.
I got chicken honey.
Oh. So, here's the chicken.
It's just a slice in the middle.
It's not like shredded chicken, but it is good.
It is very good.
I thought it would be a little sweet because of chicken honey,
but, no, not at all.
But it is good, it's really good.
This can easily become one of my favorite snacks.
It's really good.
[music]
-Hi. -Hi.
The fried ice cream, what flavors do you have?
Vanilla, peppermint, and chocolate.
-Four flavors. Yam. -And yam. Oh.
I'll get vanilla, please. -Okay, no problem.
It's fried ice cream. I got to try.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Thank you very much.
Mmm.
Do you see it here?
The ice cream is still cold, and then you have the hot part outside.
It is good. It is a good combination.
[music]
So I want to find the coconut.
How much is this?
-4 ringgit. -4?
-Yes. -I'll get one.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
Coconut, coconut.
Mmm.
Oh, this is like heaven.
It is so good and so sweet.
Love it, love it, love it.
It's coconut ice cream on top and this is a coconut shake,
like a coconut smoothie.
It is so good, so sweet.
Malacca is so much more than I expected.
It is really charming.
You know, when you do your research online,
you see how nice it is,
you see the pictures, right, of the architecture,
but when you get here, you realize how close everything is,
everything within walking distance,
people so friendly
This, everywhere in Malaysia, people are very friendly everywhere.
I'm really in love with the city.
I'd certainly come back here.
So charming, so cute.
It's such a shame. This is our last video in Malaysia.
If this is the first video you watch,
come to this playlist that I'm linking here.
There is Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya,
Penang, and here Malacca.
They got sugar cane juice here, another similarity with Brazil.
Are you sure you don't want to try? It's really good.
-So what do you think? -It's good
-Just good?
I think it is more vanilla than it is coconut.
-You think? -Uh-hmm.
-This is probably my favorite. It is really good.
-Is it? -Yeah.
-Oh, now you say it!
-I see a lot of people having that. -Yeah
-Let's try? -Yeah... You can
-No way. The thing is called Dragon Breath.
The heat is getting to you.
You come to do a time-lapse and forget the camera.
[laughs]
Let's see what you can still save.
