Kampong Kling Mosque
by Audrey118
Along Jalan Tokong (Temple street where the famous Cheng Hoon temple is), is the Kampung Kling Mosque.
This is one of the oldest in the country; it was built during the 17th century.
It has a unique architecture which is a blend of Sumatran and Western architecture with a 3 tier pyramid roof, a touch of Hindu influence perhaps but also has a pagoda look. The carved wooden ceiling is supported by elegant Corinthian-styled columns.
The floor is laid with English and Portugese glazed tiles.
The mosque is located at the junction of Jalan Lekiu and Jalan Tukang Emas.
Christmas Decoration in Portuguese Settlement
by dfactor
Houses in the Portuguese settlement are all light up during Christmas. Santas, reindeers, elf all turn up full force on the fences, roof tops and door ways of houses here. The traffic is reduced to a crawl on Christmas eve, everyone just wants to get in to get a piece of the action in the settlement area.
Apart from the Serani community, which is the descendant of Portuguese and Malay mix marriage, this place is also famous for it's food. The most popular food would be the Portuguese style baked fish. Which you can find as far as KL.
Sing Sing

This is a little eating shop in Jonker's street that has great food for dirt cheap prices.
The environment is comfortable and cozy. You will get authentic Melaka food and the Baba cendol.
Besides that you will get a free exhibition of artifact salvage from sunken treasures. I have taken a picture of the shop but it is still not processed yet. I will put it on-line as soon as it is ready
Very cozy and dirt cheap.
Estate living
by muddybok
This is a the typical estate setting where the road is of red earth, tall coconut trees & surrounded by either rubber trees or oil palms.
Be considerate and drive slowly when you drive passes the village especially during the dry season. It may take minutes for dust to settle.
Nick is molesting my PMOY's butt. Naughty!!
