Malacca in a Day: Heritage, Flavors & Hidden Gems

Just a 1.5-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur, Malacca is a UNESCO World Heritage site rich with history, flavor, and charm. I stayed at The Nest House, a lovely boutique hotel conveniently located near Jonker Street. A walk along Jonker Street is a must — from the iconic chicken rice balls to the flavorful Nyonya laksa and refreshing cendol topped with Gula Melaka, the local eats are unforgettable. Malacca is also a café lover’s paradise, with charming coffee spots perfect for a mid-day break. Come evening, don’t miss the famous Backlane Siham for fresh cockles and local seafood — a true street food experience. #malaccatrip #travel #jonkerstreet #malaysiatrip
