After that, we have come across another museum where there was a huge ship as this kind of ship we usually can see in the pirate movie such as “The Pirates of Caribbean” – Maritime Museums Complex. The replica ship is 34 meters height and 8 meters width.

The Ship – Flor De La Mar

This museum is constructed as the replica of the sunken Portuguese ship Flor De La Mar. Visitors can get closer look at Malacca from the famed Malay Sultanate of the 14th century to the Portuguese era, the Dutch era and the British era. It comprises Samudera Museum Phase I – Flor de Lamar (Replica Ship), Samudera Museum Phase II, Royal Malaysian Navy Museum and KD Sri Terengganu ship.

Before going to lunch, we have visited Malacca Water Mill and far-seen the new tourist spot – “Malacca Observation Deck”, it’s like the Genting Highlands Space Shot, but the difference now is the speed will be 100X slower and you are inside the deck covered by glass for this Malacca Observation Deck.

From my point of view, The chicken rice ball here is taste good and firm as the size not so big, not so small. And the chicken is soft and juicy, and you just can’t stop eating that especially when you are very hungry. There were so many people queue up in front of the shop just waiting for a seat, incredible!

After finish eating, we have walked along the Jonker Street. The weather is very hot that time, i can’t stand anymore, so keep buying ice-cream that time. And Shunn Wee is the one always doing the same thing with me – “Ice-Cream” or “Cold Drink” in our mind.
