Aquabus in Melaka

This is a bus imported from US. It was a war vehicle used by US navy as war transport during Second World War. It is now modified as tourist vehicle that can be travel on both land and in sea. It is a 45 min trip, but it does not cover many tourist spots. With the price of RM26 per person, it may not worth the money because to few spots.

Melaka Chicken Rice Ball, Jonker Walk

Chicken rice ball is one of the famous Melaka local food. The rice is made into "ping-pong" ball (table tennis ball) size and served with Hainanese Chicken. There are few stalls at Jonker Walk which each claims that they are the origin. I am not sure which shop is the best, and all shop are having long queue at the same time.
I chosen the one near the bridge and started to queue. I took me about 45 min to be served with food. My kids are didn't quite like the Chicken Rice Ball, but like the Hainanese Chicken.

TLDM Museum, Melaka

I have visited this place many rounds, this is I only notice there is a TLDM museum near the Mahkota. From Mahkota Parade, it only takes you about 5 min walking distance to reach this place.
The entry fee is very affordable, for Malaysian, it is about RM3.00. It comes in package, visit 3 places with single ticket purchase.

Khoo KongSi, Penang

Khoo KongSi. Attractive place of interest. I came here few years ago, now there are slightly more things to visit. Much more information exhibited, which is more like a museum style. It also covers a bit of other KongSi at that time, like Lim KongSi, Tan KongSi etc.

War Museum, Penang

The largest and the only outdoor war museum in Malaysia. It was a fort during British days. When Japanese came, it was converted into a jail. And after that it had been abandoned until recently discovered. It gave me a true experience of how does a fort look like.

Public Bank HQ

Traffic surrounding KLCC area was very bad. Stuck in the jam. Pass by this place.

Bukit Bendera, Penang

The train service in Bukit Bendera has been upgraded. The service have improved a lot from all aspects. When I arrived at that place, there are Rela on duty to control the traffic. The ticketing and queuing process have been improved significantly. Few Rela are assigned to control the queue.
The train is new, conformable and fast. The stalls at the hill top have to relocated, now much more food variety of choices are available, and much more people consume food there. Shall give one "Like" to the local authority that make this significant improvement.

Kek Lok Si Temple, Penang

Can't believe a tower is built to house the Buddha statue. The statue is really tall enough, the tower is even taller!!!
Previous round visit this place was about three years ago, at that time, the Buddha status was just shift into this place, after three years, this place is still under construction. Really taking long time to construct this, can't imagine the perseverance the people are having.

Penang Second Link

Penang second link, coming to the connecting stage. Soon it will be ready to serve the people between the island and mainland.
It will help the people to avoid heavy traffic jam, especially those staying in Seberang Perai and working in the industrial areas at the southern part of the island.

Legoland

KL International Airport in Legoland. One of the many buildings built using pieces of Lego. It is amazing.
