Family Trip in Malacca 4D3N (Part 1)


Hi there !
Today I'm gonna share about my trip in Malacca with my family during the Raya holidays :)

Since my brother and I are going to start our Uni ( alrd started ) and our sem-break schedule will be different  so we decided to have a family trip before the school begins.

This is actually my first time to Malacca since I was born HAHA

On 6th of July , that was the first day of Hari Raya , we departed at about 530am to Ipoh to have our breakfast 


Breakfast @ Hong Xing Dim Sum Restaurant

We reached there at 650am and all the places were FULLY OCCUPIED  and still , many people were queuing to get the food ( as it is self-service )
Food preparation was in full swing
Perhaps we arrived too early? LOL


By the way , the Restaurant opens at 7am - 2pm daily ( Closed on Thursday ) 
This Dim Sum Restaurant in Bercham of Ipoh is located directly in front of new Giant hypermarket ( coming off the highway , take exit 141 if you're coming from the North )

RESTORAN HONG XING DIM SUM

1030am - Brunch @ Kaya Kopitiam , Jejantas Sg. Buloh

Had a quick wash-up at the rest area and we continued our journey to Malacca 


So yay finally we reached Swiss-Garden Hotel & Residences  at 220pm
8 hours of Journey was so tiring although we spent most of the time sleeping in the car HAHA



Glass-styled bathroom
My brother was so afraid that we can look through the glasses when he was bathing HAHAHA



We actually stayed at the Swiss-Garden Residences so that's why we can cook in the room :)


Water Playground 
These pools are in between the blocks of Hotel and Residences

 


The Gym Room is at the centre of  pools -
Adult pool at the left and Children pool at the right


There are two Infinity Pools - 
one at the Residences block and one at the Hotel block

We swam all the 4 big pools from left to right for hours and it was so fun especially the water playground HAHAHA


Gentle Reminder : You probably need to wait at least 20-30 mins for a lift and everyone were squeezing like sardine once it has arrived.
The agony of waiting just to get into a lift is bad not forgetting that the lifts will stop at every floors before it reached my floor
