I bought some Gula Melacca, local coffee etc, then we sat down to have Chendol again and some curry puffs. The weather is too hot that we decided to go back to hotel for a quick shower. Its only an 2 hr walk but it seems so long.....

Freshen up after the shower, we decided to go Mahkota Parade for shopping. V saw Shakey's pizza and she craved for it, so we had our lunch there. Had pizza, wings, potatoes and drinks. Satisfied our stomach, we went around shopping. Bought some local delicacies. We set off back to hotel in late noon.

After taking a rest, we decided to re-vist Jonker walk again. Today is less crowded as yesterday. We went to try the famous Chicken Rice Ball. Its not as good as we expected.... but its cute, we sneakily take a pic, so malu being a tourist haha.
