Exotic and Historical travel destination; Malacca. The Dutch, British and Portuguese have had at one time been here, a historical city south of metropolitan Kuala Lumpur. The city of Malacca has been conferred a World Heritage status and rightly so too. No other place in Malaysia can one find such a large population of Portuguese descend who has made this city their home. Rich in history, it's monumental landmarks, the beautiful and enchanting floral landscapes and it's diversity of cultures, Malacca is indeed a place not to be missed when visiting Malaysia.
A windmill - a reminder of the existence of Dutch colonialism at one time in history. Dutch and Portuguese food is still very much alive in this world heritage city. Tourists from Europe likes Malacca for its beauty and rich European culture.
The pink " Stad Huys " - a famous landmark with its more than a century old clock tower and cathedral in the backyard. The central point for the residents here.
UNESCO declared Malacca a World Heritage site status, much to the joy and approval of the Malacca residents. At the forefront, a row of beautifully decorated trishaws on display.
Central square with a fountain reminder from the colonial masters.
Malacca is a must see exotic destination while visiting Malaysia. The food here are cheap and excellent. A famous dish as a result of European and local fusion called the " Devil's Curry" is only found here in Malacca. And the Chicken Rice dishes here are not to be found anywhere else because the rice is served as "rice balls", much like meatballs.
