Weekend Getaway to Melaka II

Calanthe Art Cafe - Coffee from Malaysia's 13 states

Check out the cafe at Jonker Street serving coffee from 13 states. Check out their website here

My favourite is the local Melaka coffee - thick and fragrant

Food is cheap but quality is average. I overheard the next table returning their breakfast as it was not properly cooked. Expect a long wait during lunchtime

Check out the acquarium in a TV !

Interesting deco in the cafe.

Don't forget to check out durian chendol at San Shu Gong, House of Authentic Delicacies. The main store is at Jonker Street but I visited the one at Dataran Pahlawan mall to avoid the long queue

Weekend Getaway to Melaka: Casa Del Rio Hotel

Casa Del Rio, Melaka

I always stay in Casa Del Rio when in Melaka. It is just a stone's throw from Jonker Street where all the good food can be found.

Lovely water feature to cool you down at the lobby area

Cooling dessert is served while you wait to be served at the check-in counter

Balcony of our Deluxe Largo Room

Comfy King Size Bed. Love the jazzy piped in music in the room, puts one in a relaxed mood

Yummy onde onde (traditional Malay snack) served in the room when the staff turns down the room

Enchanting night view of Melaka River from our room

Very nice personal touch to have the hotel staff make recommendations about the places of interest in Melaka

A touch of nostalgia - the 555 notebook
