Jonker Street - Malacca

-
So here we are at Jonker Street on a Sunday evening just before Chinese New Year. Jonker Street night market is only open from Friday to Sunday. This street is well known for its weekend market that sells everything such as street food, ice creams, drinks, snacks, souvenirs, antiques, crafts, T-shirts, sandals, toys and many more. Apart from that, there's even street performance and a live open stage singing performance by locals, keeping the street rocking until late night. As usual, it is always crowded with people. Along the street, there's handful of bars and there are a few bars with live music. A visit to Malacca would not be complete without a walk through the famous Jonker Street...

Shenzhen - Day 3 (Coco Park - PAFC Mall)

-
Image
Our initial plan was to stay two nights at the  Paco Hotel , then take a train back to Guangzhou for two nights to attend the second phase of the Canton Fair before returning to Shenzhen for one night because our flight back is from Shenzhen. However, except for attending the Canton Fair, neither of us is really keen on exploring Guangzhou again. So we decided to change our plan by extending another three nights in Shenzhen and taking a day-trip train to Guangzhou to attend the Canton Fair. Instead of staying at the same hotel, we decided to try the  Shangri-La Hotel . We checked out of the  Paco Hotel  and headed over to the  Shangri-La Hotel , which is conveniently close by. Being able to check in early at 11.30am is something we like about the hotel. After leaving our bags in the hotel room, we made our way to Coco Park. The hotel staff was very helpful in helping us identify the exact pick-up spot from the hotel for a Didi trip, as we were unsure about it (F...

Phu Quoc - Day 1 (Phu Quoc Night Market - Công Viên Bạch Đằng (Dinh Cậu) - Dinh Cau Temple - Phu Quoc Beach - Dinh Bà Temple - King Kong Mart)

Our latest getaway was to Phu Quoc, Vietnam's largest island. It was suggested by my partner's buddy, who is absolutely obsessed with beach life. To be honest, I'd never even heard of this island until he brought it up! The return flight from KLIA Terminal 2 to Phu Quoc International Airport was RM 660 per person, with an additional RM 90 for 20kg of checked luggage. We arrived at KLIA Terminal 2 just before 11am. We walked to the self-check-in kiosk to reprint our boarding passes and luggage tags before heading over to the Air Asia counter for baggage drop. We had purchased 20kg of checked luggage, but our combined bag weighed slightly more than 20.4kg. So, we did a quick reshuffle in which I removed my shoes and my partner removed his towel and placed it in our hand-carry bags. Since we still had some time before our 1pm flight, we decided to grab lunch at Uncle Roger. We ordered the Uncle Roger special fry rice (spicy), Fuiyoh crispy chicken, and a cup of Pepsi. The frie...

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
