greetings from melaka - the land of legendary warriors!
now that the euphoria of the 12th general elections has simmered down, its time to focus on events for the people which will culminate with the independence month from 17th august till 16th september.
right now melaka is busy preparing for its pesta sungai melaka or the melaka river fiesta. this annual event will be launched on 31st may 2008 at taman rempah or spice garden. numerous activities have been drawn up along the melaka river from that day till 8th of june.
this beautiful city has a lot to offer. besides the beautiful historical sites and legendary tales, melaka is rich tradition and culture. the malays, chinese and indians blend harmoniously with the portuguese, the baba and nyonya society and the chettiahs of gajah berang. and the food is fabulous - among others the asam pedas, otak-otak and the ikan bakar (pronounced by the locals as ikan bakau) eaten with nasi lemak. there is also the nyonya's bubur cha cha and the portuguese devil's curry. eateries are aplenty not to mention the food.
so if you plan to tour the peninsula, be sure to include melaka in your itinerary. you can join in the fun waiting for you at pesta sungai melaka. to know more visit www.ppspm.gov.my.
the cruise along sungai melaka will be one to remember.
what say you?
