Melaka In Between Bites

In between stuffing our faces, we walked off some calories and what I saw I froze through these square frames.

Royal Malaysian Navy Museum (Muzium TLDM)

Friday to Sunday 9AM to 830PM
Admission Fee for the Maritime Museum Complex: MYR 6
* Ticket can be used to enter the Maritime Museum I, Maritime Museum II,

Since we visited the Maritime Museum Complex at almost closing time, we went through all three museums of the complex like The Flash. In other words, we didn't learn anything by glancing at the exhibits. Be there early and only visit if you're really interested in maritime stuff. Do NOT follow our example.

 Baba & Nyonya House Museum

 No. 48 & 50 Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (street parallel to Jonker Street/Jalan Hang Jabat), Melaka

Daily 10AM to 1PM and 2PM to 430PM

Admission Fee: MYR 15 (Adult) / MYR 10 (Children 5-12 yrs old)

No photography allowed inside the museum.

Guided tours at the Baba & Nyonya House Museum are available by schedule. Since we could not wait for the guided tour, we explored the museum by ourselves. We were lent booklets which contained a map of the house and concise information about each section of the house. The museum provided an interesting insight into the Peranakan culture of the 19th century. The visit to Baba & Nyonya House Museum was worth 45 minutes off our food trip.
