On reaching Malacca we decided to turn into the Portugese Settlement. |
It was near the Straits of Malacca with lots of food outlets. |
It was about 1.00 pm when we drove out of the Portugese Settlement and our tummies growled. |
We landed at Restoran Noyonya Suan. |
The food was wonderful. I ordered my favourite i.e. 'asam buah keluak' |

After lunch, we went to the newly opened Bintang Hyper Market at Cheng. |

At no time, the trolley was half filled. |
Undedided which turning to make. |
At last it was filled and needed two man power to move it. |
On our way back to Muar we stopped at a temple where there was well which water was said to have some magical power. |
