Ondeh ondeh & ketupat making

We love this BEST! We had hands-on with an aunt in the Kampong.
First, she showed us the ingredients and did the mixture for us. We then used the dough and placed gula Melaka into the dough. We rolled the dough into a ball and started boiling it in hot water.
The aunt coated the green dough with coconut flakes.

It was so fun! We had an enjoyable time making and eating.

We continued doing ketupat. We had fun!

Top Spin

We were taught Malay traditional games.

Nain started practicing!

Batik painting

We had our first Batik painting at the home stay in Parit Penghulu.

We were afraid that we will make a mess of our work, but it was easy and the painting was pretty!

Look at our work!

malacca traditional house

A Kampung House in Malacca?

 

 

                               

The kampung house is situated about 22 kilometers from Malacca town. It was built in 1914 by the penghulu, or chieftain, of Merlimau: Datuk Penghulu Abdul Ghani. Now you will see traditional furniture and embellishments, typical in many Malaccan village houses. 
It's a rare find to see Kampung houses in Singapore. It will be an eye-opener for us if we get to see these houses.

At 'Malacca'

We found some interesting photos about Malacca. We wonder if we will get to see these places.

                                                              Jonker Street

Jonker street is a very attractive place in Malacca and a popular area of the historic city to visit.  The street is more happening on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at night but is not quite busy throughout the day as well since Malacca was awarded the World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008.  Now the streets are lined with souvenir shops in addition to the traditional restaurants that have staked claim here for decades.  Foods and drinks found here is Hai Nan coffee, cendol, laksa, and so on are recommended.
