MALACCA- World Heritage Site of UNESCO

Cikgu James Holdays In Malacca




My first encounter with the history of Malacca was in history class when I was still a kid. I remembered we even made a field trip to the city but I did not feel much about it at that time. I only began to take
the historical value of Malacca seriously after I have been to other countries and seen their rich culture.



Malacca has been listed as a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO since 7th July 2008. today, while the historical elements are well preserved, it is also a vibrant city full of energy and fascination. Centuries of
colonization by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British as well as development of Straits Chinese (Peranakan) culture have influenced the architecture of the town.


My favorite foods in Malacca (Melaka) are Baba Nyonya Asam Laksa and Curry Asam (One bowl cost you Rm3.50 or USD1).  These are the best food in Malacca. If you are new to Malacca, you better visit to Jalan Hang Tuah 'Jonker Walk' to taste it. Another one is 'Chicken Rice Ball' that looks like a ball which also taste good and special. You can try both! Happy visiting to Malaysia Year 2008/09. Happy holidays again to all my students and colleagues in SK Cator Avenue Ipoh.
