We make a stop in Melaka (Malacca) for a break. After all, it's been many years since I visited Jonker Walk - the place comes alive at night. We cramped into a little shop called Nam Seng for cendol (local dessert). The shop is adorned with all things Coca-Cola. I liked the cendol as the brown sugar had a most unique flavor compared to the ones at home. Come to think of it I should have added some Coke into the cendol.
Arrive at Thistle Hotel and unpack before going to Unc' Jimmy's home in Skudai for a delightful dinner - nasi briyani was good.

Sat (March 16); Time for the traditional 'tea drinking ceremony' at the groom's home.
Time to 'cari makan' and we hunt down Restoran Bumbu Asli for some Laksa Johor. I think we got the wrong place but it was not too bad. The joint was almost empty until we swamped it - all 12 of us.
Nic collecting red packet (ang pow) from the couple.

Before the food was digested we found ourselves at ZZ Sup Tulang along Jalan Petrie. The place exudes a rustic atmosphere with its attap roofed structures. We had mee rebus, mee rebus with tulang (bone) - you suck on the marrow with a straw. Nicole loved it.
Time to head back to the hotel and get set for the wedding tonight.
