First Impressions of Melaka (Malacca): Dutch Square, Jonker walk, Chicken rice balls, River cruise 

Thank you for watching! Do you guys love Melaka as much as we do? What do you guys think about us putting our own personal situations like the drone issues into our vlog? Should we keep showing clips of what’s going on behind the scenes next time? ✨ Don’t forget to us on instagram (@jetlagwarriors) for behind the scenes and daily stories! www.instagram.com

Love the red buildings around there, so unique 😊

History of Malacca rule: 1400 to 1511 (Malacca Sultanate) 1511 to 1641 (Portugal) 1641 to 1824 (Netherlands) 1824 to 1941 (UK) 1941 to 1945 (Japan) 1945 to 1957 (UK) 1957 - (Malaysia)

Please wear mask when you're in public as it can create awareness to those who watch yr videos. This is because the level of awareness start to decline and as you can see in the news the number of cases start to rise again. COVID19 is still in the community, we didn't win it yet. Thank you. Great video btw.

If you like tandoori chicken and naan, give Pak Putra a try. Selvam also has nice banana leaf. Keep eating!

Melaka looks beautiful!

please go to the borneo side of Malaysia (Sarawak) ..love to see you guys exploring sarawak from telok melano to bario...

👍🏻💫 channel presents good videos, interesting places, in malaysian good people, foreigners are respected, thanks to the owner couple, every day I watch related videos, congratulations for answering the messages 👏😉

You are the first youtuber i watch that said Malacca’s building looks like South America 😂

The game that Ivana said is also available in Indonesia is called Congkak. Incidentally the game exists in every country in South East Asia, just like sepak takraw, which also exists in every country in SEA.

Start from Friday to Sunday after 7pm,u guys can walk around jonker street,,have PASAR MALAM

Definitely my favourite state.. Melaka

Since you are in Melaka for 1 week, can take a local bus to Muar town as a day trip (around 1 hour) and enjoy the food there...Parit Jawa is 10-15 mins from Muar town and the assam fish and other seafood dishes there is fantastic.Enjoy your Melaka stay.

Wonderful n beautiful Malacca. Love this city, d food, d people etc. Hope u have had a marvelous time like any other tourists do.

Melaka is a must place to visit when travelling to Malaysia. The scenery is epic and beautiful, the food? Awesome! Don’t forget to try sate celup, asam pedas, coconut shake, nyonya kuih and mee bodoh. Oh ya, authentic nyonya laksa is a must! I’ll be travelling to melaka this coming hari raya for an away weekend with my wife. Hopefully the weather and experience be good to us too

If you go to the local coffee shop or kopitiam or cafe, they usually made the coffee with condensed milk, hence it becomes very sweet. Can ask for kopi O kosong (kosong mean zero sugar), with a little fresh milk on the side, which u can add according to your taste

Love the street art along the river

For coffee without sweetened milk or sugar is call kopi C kosong. They replace condensed milk in normal kopi with evaporated milk :)

Pre covid19, you wouldn't have been able to move around without encountering large crowds everywhere. Now Malacca is a ghost town without foreign tourists. So it's a great time to visit

You guys just have the best luck with drones!

Those were traditional game called CONGKAK 😁

Enjoy your stay in Malacca n also the food plus the cultures

Malaysia and food can't be separated.thats why we have highest obesity rating in SEA.😅

Whattttt!? 60M tourists wowwww!!! Amazinglah Melaka ni!

Hi Steve & Ivana, Welcome To Melaka. Top 5 Things To Do In Melaka : # 1~ River Cruise.....Explore Melaka By Water. Done. Melaka My Hometown~Happy To See U 2 Have a Good Time. Enjoy Melaka.....All The Best & Take Care 😎

Thanks for sharing. I love melaka 😍

malacca has a number of excellent nyonya restaurants. must try. this historical town is i believe the birth place of nyonyas, the intermarriage of Malays and Chinese in the early days. this city was conquered/colonized by the Portuguese, then Dutch, then English, then Japanese, then English...each left behind many tombstones. visit the Portuguese settlement outskirt of the town, to try out their cuisine. enjoy!

The unbearable heat is mostly from the tarmac rising up.. adding up to the already high temperature of the air from above.

The chicken rice balls look great!

Yay, happy that you love Melaka. I’m from Melaka and I can’t stand the weather there, lol. If you have the time, try visiting the Cheng Hoon Teng temple, it has nice architecture.It is the street behind Jonker Walk, it’s the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia. The street where the temple is on is called Temple Street if I’m not wrong as there is three places of worship in a row, a Chinese temple, a Hindu temple and a mosque. If you walk along the streets of Jonker Walk and it’s surrounding, you may notice that there are a few tombs. These tombs are the tombs of the friends of Hang Tuah, a group of people that is very famous in Malaysia during the Malacca Sultanate days. I can’t really recommend much food to you as I usually eat at home when I’m back in Melaka, haha. But here are the few that I like: 1. Nyonya Kuih at Soon Yen coffee shop in Tengkera (in the morning around 8am to 9am) 2. Cendol at Jonker 88 (lots of ppl go there for nyonya Asam laksa but I’m not an Asam laksa fan, so not sure how good it is) 3. Coconut shake at Klebang (very refreshing to counter the hot weather in Melaka) 4. Melaka pineapple tarts (can get this from shops in Jonker Street) 5. Nyonya food at Home Taste Restaurant @ Kota Laksamana (food here taste almost like home cooked Nyonya food and the price is reasonable) Enjoy the quietness while you can. I think there will be lots of people during the weekend. :) Have fun! Looking forward to new vlogs.

Go to the museums. You'll learn everything!

Can definitely see the comparisons to South America!

Hi, regarding coffee with milk and not sweetened, ask for black coffee with evaporated milk and no sugar. In Malaysia there are two kinds of milk for coffee and tea, evaporated milk which is not sweetened with sugar, or condensed milk which is already made sweetened with sugar. When I go back to Malaysia I always ask for black coffee with evaporated milk, no sugar. Some places would then give you black coffee with evaporated milk and then add sugar so you gotta have to tell them no sugar also. Hope this helps!

Waiting for your video visit to klebang coconut shake and satay celup

We love Melaka,really wish we were there now without the crowds. If you like Tandoori chicken you.must go to Pak Putra Tandoori/Nann restaurant. It is about 5 mins walk past Casa del Rio Hotel. Walk to end of road and go right, there are lots of other food places nearby but Pak Putra is few minutes walk on right hand side. Opens 5.30? It is very popular.

3:41 Steve really did his homework. Kudos!

Must try Malacca dish. Asam pedas

the baba and nyonya culture there if u learn about them, near the river, they have their own culture in melaka. the shape of the water well inside their house explains their wealthiness of a family.

please wear facemask next time. theres been quite alarming rate of covid19 cases in malaysia recently. stay safe, keep social distancing. and enjoy your trip.

3:07 Saw you guys yesterday...but I was busy eating cendol durian across the street ...hahaha

Yesss another river cruise!

Melaka is one of the closest state to my heart. I studied in Melaka for 5 years. Jonker street is my favorite place to hang and eat. I love everything about Melaka except for its traffic on weekend 🤣 and yes i totally agree that restaurants/cafe around jonker street is quite pricey but still it is worth to try. Find Daily Fix Cafe (it is in a souvenier shop - KK souvenier if im not mistaken). It sells gula melaka pancake which is good. Jonker88 cafe sells the best nyonya asam laksa. There asam pedas restaurant near casa del rio hotel (mona asam pedas). Oh there's a lot of places you can go. Lol. Enjoy Melaka guys!

11:20 its called Congkak ... About 20 years ago I always played that with bunch of cousins whenever balik kampung to my grandparents house. I bet new generations dont know how to play that

This place going to be massive crowded at the weekend...u should stay a bit longer to explore malacca..hehehehehe..every weekend i’ll going to malacca to ‘lepak2’...hehehehe

Welcome to my hometown The most famous chicken rice balls place was on your extreme right when you cross that bridge towards Jonker Walk You must go down to Bunga Raya Road and try the awesome popiah, just ask around and the locals will show you where, I think it costs like RM5 per piece If you get a chance to go to Little India, just adjacent to Bunga Raya Road, head over to the famous wanton noodle place, and theres also the famous satay celup near there.....enjoy your stay in Malacca

Melaka ikan bakar also the best 😋

Melaka known for ikan bakar and other seafood bakar (grilled) and masak assam with different kind of fish.

Check out jonker walk night market on Saturday night. Raw oyster... yummmm

GO TO UMBAI, IKAN BAKAR PARAMESWARA, open for dinner only, 6pm is highly recommended, beautiful sunset, enjoy fresh seafood by the sea,🤩

Should try gulai asam pedas melaka especially the stingray but beef also good

Very beautiful...or should I say charming. Can't wait for more! Enjoy!😁

Welcome to my home town.. enjoy it!!!!

I suggest you both go to Hang Tuah museum, Hang Tuah Well located a few meters from that museum and submarine museum

Hi...since you are in Malacca, please try fish head curry at MITC Hotel cafe.....#karikepalaikanasahan

Go to the museums. You'll learn everything!

Behind the walking bridge on your 1st 1:46 was among popular Satay in Kampung Jawa. Opened around 12pm. Welcome to Melaka

You should ask abang ajib about hang tuah, hang jebat, hang kasturi, hang lekir, hang lekui...

As Malaysian, we occasionally travel to Melaka just to relax . That area that you’re currently travelling is called Melaka City. Other parts of Melaka is nice and charming too. For some reason, melaka feels a bit hotter than kl . The museums are nice too

Myonya dumpling bluepeas a world class so savouring

So nice to see your vid with a bird eye view of Melaka from your drone. Hope u get the drone fixed asap to shoot wonder views that are not 'humanly' possible. There is the Mods Cafe with a VW van fitted with coffee machines & paraphernalia parked inside the shop. Sometimes, the owner drives out to sell coffee in tourist spots. A novelty in selling coffee.

Woww.. I miss Malacca. My favourite food there is always Nyonya Laksa, a peranakan cuisine & cendol of course.

I was a trainee at ramada renaissance melaka in 1997 ( jan-june) ... Love melaka and lots had change since then... Always love melaka...

Hey Steve & Ivana, its me Syafiq. We were on the same boat during squid jigging in Terengganu! Welcome to my hometown! How long will you be staying in Melaka?

enjoy your stay guys..Melaka offer lots of delicious food..asam pedas..kuih keria antarabangsa..coconut shake..dodol..and you can take a short trip to Muar,Johor for mee bandung

If we're talking about Malaysia history of course the first topic is Malacca. The story about Parameswara saw the mousedeer kicked his hunting dog then he asked what the name of the tree he resting. The name Malacca the Historical City is not just a title you know😂

I hope you two are always safe as there has been an increase in covid 19 cases in some places

Really enjoyable

In Melaka, you guys should go to Sungai Duyong and eat by the riverbay for the freshest seafood barbeque malaccan style ever like ikan bakar sambal/sweat sour (both salt and fresh water fish), sotong bakar, sotong goreng tepung (freakin huge calamari), udang black pepper (one of the ultimate reason why western imperialist came to melaka btw - black peppers!)..deep from the heart simply the best seafood experience you should never missed!! Kene order bro!! Asam pedas guys! No melaka trip would be complete if u hadn't eaten asam pedas! I recommend you to go to Asam Pedas Pak Man! Sedap gilerrrr

Melaka is the best place to be. My hometown.

As small.state as Malacca.i still could not explore all.of it. It always been new attraction and every inch of Malacca is real interesting. Have fun exploring

I love Melaka! Wish I could work there one day 😅

I am from Malacca. Have you tried Satay Celup in Jalan One Kim Wee, Chicken rice ball near to Harren st. You miss the really good chicken rice. It is about 150m away from the place you have yours.

Welcome to Melaka from a Straits Chinese (Baba) currently working in KL. 😁 At 2:50, they planned to make a parking lot in front of the St Francis Xavier Church but they dug into some old ruins so, the authorities blocked off the front area. You have to be careful of where you dig in Melaka Town. 😅 Melaka is generally hot with it being so close to the sea and being closer to the equator than KL and also the whole climate change thing. The places usually come alive in the evenings.

Coffee, milk without sugar. Here in Sabah we call "Kopi C kosong". Coffee and evaporated creamer only. I don't know if u can use that in any other states. But u can try. 😉

NGL when you said instagram heaven I burst out laughing. Hahahaha

Absolutely right Bro..

Good to enjoy Malacca on weekdays. Less crowded and busy. You’ll have most cafes by yourselves. But weekend, prepare to see big crowds there. You can barely walk in Jonker Night Market on Saturday night.

3:15 yeah it does look like in South America. Anyway Steve I PMed you on IG.

You will never get unsweet coffee with milk in street side restaurant in Malaysia, because coffee with milk means coffee mixed with condensed milk which is a sweet milk, if no sugar always order nescafe o or kopi o and mentioned no sugar or less sugar

STEVE AND IVANA YOU BOTH AWESOME... ALL YOUR VIDEOS IS NEUTRAL NOT TOO MUCH EDITING AND YOUR CONTENT IS NOT BORING... 😍 👍 REGARDS FROM LANGKAWI MALAYSIA 🇲🇾

Kopi O Kosong is the option for me. The bitter coffee really compliment wide range of food. The next best coffee for me is Kopi C Kosong.

Just simple Malay language you can use at makan place Kopi O = coffee with sugar Kopi = coffee with condense milk Kopi kosong = black coffee Good luck!

Try Kuih Nyonya for tea time

Oh Steve...malay sambal is always the best...

Glad u love malacca! 🤗

I just came back from Melaka last month. Best time to go there since it's really quiet and not many ppl + traffic. So you get to eat at famous eateries minus the crowd + queue. Try out Sun May Hiong Satay House's pork satay with pineapple sauce. It's soooooo good. Also the coconut shake in Pantai Klebang. Also for authentic Nyonya food, try Nancy's Kitchen.

Yayy! Finally a video! Premium gula melaka Madam Yap, u see the logo at 4:45 Margarine in coffee? Isn't that the famed bulletproof coffee americans drink?

If ordering drinks, must mention less sugar or sweet in Malaysia

Try Malacca lovely beach

you should try cendol kampung hulu...go to pantai klebang in the evening

I saw you two.

If you've watched Pirates of The Caribbean, East Indies (Nusantara) was the prized colonies of England & Dutch. The red building with big windows was the headquarters of VOC, The Dutch East Indies Company.

Did you go to east Malaysia? It will be different...... if you like nature i suggest you go there.

If you want kopi with milk but no sugar. Order 'Kopi C kosong'.= Coffee with evaporated milk. Kosong' means zero Or no sugar. That's the closest you get to coffee with milk and no sugar.

Please do come to Umbai,and search Umbai Grill Fish Seafood,Melaka also known as the best seafood eatery.

Ahh I went on the river cruise just an hour after you guys!

Two of you are 5 stars too.

Can’t wait to finally ( hopefully ) visit Melaka & onto Kuala Lumpur Did you visit the museum inside the historical Dutch administration office at red square Friday & Saturday nights you have the Jonker st markets ( if still on due to the coronavirus )

Yes steve😂😂 your star rating is cute. I rate Steve & ivana 10🌟🌟❤️

If you want to see something different you can see the rock St Francis Xavier first stepped on when he arrived in Malacca. It isn't much to view but historically interesting. It in a park off Jalan Kota. Not really publicized much
