Melacca was a joy, most of our sightseeing was done on foot in and around the old township.
A 1hr ride on the flowered tricyles cost us 40myr and was delightful. Take our advice don't miss an evening meal at the Baba House this was without a doubt the best meal we had in our 5 weeks holiday.

We took the town bus (17) from melaka bus station directly to clock tower. Over there famous are the chicken rice ball. I will encourage ppl to eat the chicken rice balls from "zhong hwa" and "li ji" instead of the famosa as the above mentioned two are highly recommended by the local ppl there while famosa is actually more expensive. The famous chendol by the clock tower wasn't as nice as expected. Basically can travel round the melaka town by WALKING though will take some time but at least it's walkable.The routes are the same, after a few times, you will basically memorise all the route. Though they say melaka is very small, nothing much to do, can finish in 1 day. But I feel that though there are limited options in the town area but will need around 2 days to fully tour their town area which includes Stadhudys, mahkota shopping centre, perakan museum etc.

Near Makota parade, there were many nice nonya restaurants. Some of them serve very good chendol, too. Behind Equatorial Hotel, there is a small coffee shop and their chendol is very good.

Arrived in Malacca from KLIA, took a taxi from the airport as it was only AUD$45 to get there. Looked around china town area & went for dinner at old portugese settlement. Cafe 1511 on JL Tun Tan Chang Lock is a great place for meals & drinks & it is just down the road from the Puri.

Melaka was a wonderful city for a weekend visit. Do not expect spectacular attractions. Do expect a relaxing and lazy pace, warm people, great food and interesting shopping. The mix of cultures - Chinese, Malay, Indian, Portuguese - is fascinating, and more evident here than perhaps other cities in Malaysia. It is easy to stroll around the city on foot, particularly Chinatown, which is full of antique stores. In Chinatown, I would recommend a visit to the Babanonya Heritage museum, which is comprised of three rowhouses which were connected by a wealthy Chinese merchant. When I went, I was the only person there, and the museum tour guide was very quirky. For restaurants, I would highly recommend Peranakan House and Harpers. The latter is ideal to soak up the hazy, post-colonial atmosphere of Melaka over a lunch of malay-portuguese food and Tiger beer.
More than anything, I would recommend Melaka because of the people. They were uniformly friendly and helpful, and overall seemed to maintain a small-town warmth that is quickly disappearing in many other southeast asian cities.

For dinner, Ole Sayang 198–199 Jl Taman Melaka Raya (tel 06/283 4384) was well worth the visit, especially the udang goreng asam (deep-fried, tamarind-marinated prawns).
