Before 23th October, my 6th uncle told me that his Taiwanese friends want to come Malaysia to visit him for 5 days 4 nights. So, he ask me to come out some plan for them. The plans kept changing because I did not know what his friends want to see.

On 5th day (27/10, Sat), send them to KLIA in the morning.

On 23th October, my uncle's Taiwanese friends finally reached Malaysia. My aunt cooked Curry Chicken, Fried Popiah and Fried Beehoon for them to eat. They liked the curry very much. On that night, we brought them went to Petaling Street and Central Market.

On 24th October morning, my sister and I brought them to Malacca to visit our historical city. We using NKVE to Ayeh Keroh Interchange. The first stop at Ayeh Keroh was visit Mini Malaysia and Mini Asean to let my uncle's friends take a look of our Malay traditional houses in each state.

After visited Mini Malaysia, we headed straight for Malacca Town.

When we reached Malacca Town, we parked our car at roadside parking space which was not far from the main town and bought parking coupon for the car. Then we walked to our destination. It had been 18 years since the last time I visited Malacca. Some of the places have been newly developed. But the historical places still remain there. We visited Red house, Clock Tower, St. Paul Church and Kota A' Famosa.

Around 2.00 PM, my uncle's friends felt hungry. So, I brought them to Hoe Kee Chicken Rice to have a taste of our Malaysia Hainan Chicken Rice. Hoe Kee was one of the famous Chicken Rice shop in Malaysia.

These were the foods I order in Hoe Kee - Chicken Rice Balls, Steam Chicken, vegetable and Asam Fish Head. The chicken meats were very tasty and soft. The Asam Fish Head was sour and spicy. Just like I want it to be. One of my uncle friends did not like to eat spicy foods, the other two were fine to the foods.

After ate our lunch, we continue our walk along Antique Road. At this road, a lots of shop selling handcrafts, antique items, and even the shops here were very old. At one of the shops here, I bought some handcrafts. Because the day we went was weekday, so there were not much visitors around, the road looked very quiet.

We walked to other road where Ching Yun Ting, the oldest Chinese Temple in Malacca was built. Inside the temple, it was very quiet.

After visited Ching Yun Ting, we headed back to our car because the time was almost 5 o'clock in the evening, the parking coupon time almost end. Near the place we parked our car has a shop which sell local foods. My uncle's friends bought some local foods to bring back to Taiwan. Then, we headed back to Kuala Lumpur.

At night, we went to Damansara Uptown's Hawker Centre to have our dinner. We ordered ABC, Cendol, Fried Tanghoon, Fried Oysters, Fried Kueytiew, Malay Fried Rice with Chicken, Kampung Style Fried Rice etc, to let our Taiwanese friends tried the taste. They liked ABC and Cendol, they said that it was different with ABC in Taiwan. Our ABC more delicious because of coconut milk. After dinner, a day trip for Wednesday came to the end.
