We Should've Come to MELAKA MALAYSIA Sooner! 🇲🇾

[@FloraandNote]

A few tour ideas for Malaysia: 🌟Private Tour from KL to Melaka (that we did!): gyg.me/XW8tYWRD 🌟Kuala Lumpur Street Food Tour: gyg.me/mP9rABy3 🌟Batu Caves Tour: gyg.me/EG62UpeJ

[@jkl891]

Melaka is my hometown. And we welcome you guys big time. Very smart decision to visit Melaka on weekdays. We Malaccan will hide ourselves from entering the unesco city center on the weekend giving space to the tourist. Weekdays the Melaka is owned back by Malaccan people. ❤❤

[@njamil85]

Thanks for promoting Melaka to the world! Looking forward your next adventures in Malaysia. Love from KL

[@chaw294]

Wow, this whole video is just a vibe. Well done, Flora and Note. Wonderful to see you both enjoying this UNESCO Heritage City/Melaka. Thanks for sharing.

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you Chaw! We really enjoyed exploring beautiful Melaka 😊

[@chaw294]

​@@FloraandNoteGreat to hear that 👍👏

[@ExpatNatt]

Brilliant video! I love Malaysia. Love from Shanghai ❤

[@jonmath4182]

You two lovebirds are really fun to watch, you both exude very positive vibes even when staring at some difficulty or unexpected turn, you have that make-the-best-of-what's-available attitude, love it, simply amazing! Oh wait you two were in/with amazing race asia right??? We definitely welcome people like you two anytime with open arms, _terima kasih_ for visiting malaysia again, and _terima kasih_ too for the kind praises 👍 Have really good fun and stay safe ✌️

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you for the warm welcome 😊 And we haven’t been on the Amazing Race before. That sounds fun though!

[@Stephen90s]

Malaysian here, I rarely comment on your vids but I found your channel during Covid days and was one of the early subscribers when you guys moved to Samui. I remember binge watching you guys and 2 Passport 1 Dream, as someone who loves travelling myself, I've thoroughly enjoy your adventures. Hope you enjoyed your time in Malaysia and looking forward to more content! Congrats on your land purchase btw!

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you Stephen! We’re happy to read your comment and we appreciate your support over the years! 😍

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

[@jonmath4182]

Yeah, I've been to the UK and paris, so you should also come visit malaysia hahah ✌️ stay safe

[@leeleng1458]

I've been to Melaka many times but somehow i still have so much fun watching this video!

[@vivienliewleewen8474]

Melaka is one of my favourite cities for the food and historical places.

[@sean66ish]

Hi guys, thanks for the video. I’ve seen plenty of vloggers go there but your video tonight gave me great joy. You seemed to really enjoy yourself and was happy to be there. I was born there but live in Australia. I consider Malacca my second home and miss the place n the food. Your video made me very happy. Thank you so much. 😃👍🏼

[@FloraandNote]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@hafizhassan9786]

Gula Melaka it doesn't mean the sugar from Melaka, but its one of the name for palm sugar. Since Melaka used to be an international entreport, palm sugar is one of the famous item that being trade at that time other than spices. The sugar extract from palm tree, in the East Coast of Malaysia we call it as Nisan sugar, in Sarawak Borneo they call it as Gula Apong and in Indonesia as Gula Jawa.

[@leealex24]

Malacca is another gem in Malaysia. Wise choice on the hotel, it is a beautiful one

[@mingzhenyeo316]

Wow … million thanks to both of U for making Melaka soooo beautiful ❤ Oh yeah what a great choice of staying @ 1825 Hotel Gallery. It’s looks so cozy inside. Melaka people are very laid back & super friendly & helpful too. Enjoy 👍🏻

[@cheakytoday]

One of my fav towns....brings back memories.

[@BeigeMannHere]

Best travel couple on KZbin. Looks amazing, and you guys look like you're having so much fun ❤

[@dairminera]

Can't wait for you guys to return to do more Malaysia videos!

[@BreakawayBites]

Although I have been to Malacca countless times, been to most of the places that you highlighted but always nice to hear from a different perspective. Cheers mates!

[@jeremychoong5792]

Melaka always leave special place for Malaysian. Good food and great street food atmosphere.

[@dominichill1492]

Flora and Note I love this second part series in Malaysia. I'm so glad to see you both enjoying Malaysia doing this summer time. Flora and Note you both should visit the towers in Malaysia when you get a chance.

[@keon79]

not skipping for the whole video.. was so interesting...

[@FloraandNote]

We try our best to include interesting facts so we’re really happy you enjoyed it!

[@Pat5208-j3n]

Thank you for showing me Melaka ...I have yet to go to Melaka even though I am Malaysian 😁Must find one day to go ya

[@fujifooj3265]

[@susam4991]

Enjoy and wait for your new vloggs. I liked when Note was singing that Thai song. The food look so yummy n d watermelon looked super red. Love it guys n Love You

[@GimmWolff_SL]

She is super lovely :) you are super lucky guy to have her :)

[@FloraandNote]

I know 😉

[@vwchan841]

Another great video, guys!!!! Yes, I loved Melaka too when I was exploring possible retirement spots in Malaysia. Penang won out only because I felt there were more Western level hospitals and medical care in Penang. Gotta do the river cruise at night and of course hit Jonker street at night.

[@phangmoh]

One of the cutest KZbin couple around.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Hope that you guys have had a good time and a pleasant stay in Melaka.

[@FloraandNote]

We enjoyed it a lot! ☺️

[@Yasin_Affandi]

​@@FloraandNoteWonderful. 😀

[@AN-bd4xm]

I'm from Melaka and I'm Buddhist too but went to sacred heart and convent infant Jesus sch. Every Friday we have to go to the chapel and yet Im still not a Catholic or Christian 😂 i grow up on 11 JonkerStreet 😅

[@cac1504]

Many studied in mission schools but not converted. Keep your Buddhist faith!

[@SheilaS-pn5bt]

Love the tour guide and didn’t even miss the museum!

[@yunytotoro7184]

Thank you for your good review cause i ever watch a japanese KZbinrs maybe he didn't do some searching he said melaka is boring, it just small old town travel, but when finding the good vloggers like u guys i think whole video u guys really had a good capture

[@nizammazlan8613]

Its gonna be a bit hard if there is a language barrier. Japanese only speaks Japanese and little english thats why its not so informative sadly.

[@chiangea3495]

Melaka got Baba Nyonya heritage just like in Penang & Phuket old town.🎉🎉🎉❤

[@decTac]

Fyi, the gula Melaka is from the coconut flower's nectar and they cook till it becomes thick and form brown colour sugar.. it's definitely sweet, tasty and nice flavour..

[@dianev113]

Thanks so much!! Very nice video. I was happy you both sang a bit with the man!! The British😂😂 🙏

[@CKology]

Wonderful video!

[@pranysun2041]

Hello, we have decided to add Malacca to our trip after watching this video. Can we please have the details of the driver / company you used? Thank you and love your work!

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you and glad to hear you’ll be visiting Melaka! We linked the tour company in our video description. Have a great trip!

[@mikecsj1]

Gula Malacca is made from palm flower, hence the name palm sugar. It taste different to cane sugar. It is the key ingredients in Malaysian dessert which gives it a very distinctive flavour.

[@nickloong]

Melaka is another one of Malaysia's popular foodies paradise, and a renowned World Heritage Site in the South.😊

[@decTac]

Fyi, this year is the Visit Malacca year 2024.. Malacca Historical City was awarded as the cleanest city in Malaysia recently 🇲🇾 St Paul Hill's name was Bukit Melaka (Malacca Hill) It's believe that A Famosa was built on a ruined mosque (the mosque was destroyed by Portuguese) Malacca people are super friendly and warm.. they're lucky to have cute guests like you as cheerful visitors ..👍🇲🇾

[@FloraandNote]

We did see signs everywhere saying Visit Melaka! Definitely should, such a beautiful place.

[@Coyotito26]

❤ **Greetings from Melaka!** I'm so glad to hear that you visited Melaka. As someone born and raised here, and part of the Peranakan Baba Nyonya community, I love sharing the rich culinary heritage of my hometown. While the place you dined at may not have provided the most authentic experience, there's so much more to explore. I recommend venturing out of the typical tourist areas to discover truly authentic Peranakan cuisine. Melaka is home to many hidden gems that offer genuine and delicious Peranakan dishes, reflecting the rich heritage and flavors that our culture is known for. If you're ever back in Melaka and looking to try more Peranakan food, I'd be happy to share some good places.

[@ogdale]

Wow you guys make awesome vids!!! You're also one of my favorite couples. You're so beautiful Flora!!! Stay awesome guys... ❤✌💯 🙏

[@dewi9235]

Whar a beautiful place

[@cliffgan4346]

I’m glad that both of you visited Melaka, my hometown. Do come again in future.

[@kobisrebus7664]

Malacca is an awesome place to visit. Glad you guys enjoyed your trip ✌🏽

[@decTac]

Malacca is truly Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺🥰

I also did the rickshaw ride because it was too corny to resist.

[@ikakau]

I will be going to Malaka in October for the first time to a tattoo convention, this was a timely video for me. I saw you both by Lotus’s On Nut by my condo but did not want to bother you guys.

[@lindabuck2777]

Looks ‘WonderFlo!’ 😁love all the colorful bldgs., good looks a little different, squishy dessert lol. How’s the weather so far? And off we go… my son was finally acknowledging he payed attention coz I talk about you all the time, so what country they ping pong off too now? Lol safe travels thank you!🙏🏻❤️🦩💨

[@FloraandNote]

It was quite hot and humid the day we filmed in Melaka. We really needed that sugar cane drink 🤣

[@saddamamin7369]

Love your videos!

[@SyedFaizalAlYahya]

It very nice u love my country...i live in Malacca in the 80s....time past by and everything have change there

[@rachellevis9909]

[@wendyyap7852]

You are trying authentic Melaka food. Achar is good ...pickle veg. Chendol is a good dessert...here is special . They hv branches in the Shopping Mall ...one shop in One Utama ...Petaling Jaya.

[@terrancechong]

nyonya is great choice

[@simonahem7013]

thanks for the video in Melaka. i visited them in 2016

[@hermanabdul-karim605]

Its about time you to fly over to kuching and kota kinabalu......different vibes

[@FloraandNote]

Kuching is definitely on our list to go! We filmed in KK last year and we really enjoyed all the seafood there!

[@pedas9103]

Welcome to Melaka guys

[@longtaoyou2931]

Looking at the mixed culture in Malaysia, I am wondering why this is hard to do in the UK where ethnic and religious riots are happening right now.

[@jehanc]

Most tourist misses St Paul's hill in Melaka.

[@sean66ish]

Most tourists miss St Peter’s Church too. At least it got a mention in their video tonight.👍🏼

[@keangwooichoo6138]

St John's fort as well

[@Taufiq.m]

I am from Malaysia and went to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, for a week last month. It was my first time abroad, and I already miss it...

[@Andrew.TYP_Msia]

If you go on a weekday, you do miss the main tourist crowds, but you also miss the Jonker Walk night market, which, if I'm not mistaken, opens only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

[@FloraandNote]

That’s true. Is it a good market?

[@Andrew.TYP_Msia]

@@FloraandNote I would say so. Lots of various items on sale and also lots of food.

[@goolooggg9005]

Jonker Street Night Market open only on weekends (Fri - Sun), yes weekends would be very crowded but make your Malacca trip memorable, enjoy 🎉

[@AslamJais79]

You did a great job at video editing! And now I remember, Flora truly reminds me of the Hollywood actress, Constance Wu! Don't you think? The resemblance is uncanny! 😀😀 Somehow I can see you as an actress too! Have a great day guys! Take care ❤ 🇲🇾

[@FloraandNote]

Hahaha that’s a big compliment, thank you! 😄

[@Tom-cf5lk]

Flora just looks like Rachel Chu in the movie Crazy Rich Asian 😊

Yum beef rendang is my fav 🤤

ahha, 'some' gold sounded too polite. the world class robbers british would always loot everything and leave places in shambles

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

I had Char Keow Teow and MALAY Laksa in #melbourne #australia

[@H.Witcher]

The plates you ate fried chicken and beef rendang are unique to Malaysia. Gula Melaka is palm sugar with Melaka origins but is used elsewhere, even outside of Malaysia.

[@ekspiroltasim2440]

Please go to Kuching Sarawak.

[@FloraandNote]

Next Malaysia trip, we will!

[@iantravels2406]

You visited St Peter church and the rosary chapel ruins near kampung Morten? The oldest function church is there

[@iantravels2406]

St peter is only closed on Monday actually. It's open every other day

[@sean66ish]

I was baptised there. My father was choir master back in the 60s.

[@pvdogs2]

Question: I've noticed at some restaurants that you use a spoon/fork combo to cut meat rather than a knife. Is this a custom, just a preference or for some other reason? Initially I thought it was because the dishes you were eating had bite size pieces and the meat tender enough to tear apart with a spoon; but, then Note used this method to cut fried chicken. Thanks

[@FloraandNote]

Hahaha this is a Thai habit. We live in Thailand so we’re used to using the fork/spoon combo to eat 😂

[@cac1504]

What's your next destination in Malaysia? Johor Bahru? Go visit Tanjung Piai in Johor, Malaysia. It is the southernmost point of Peninsular Malaysia and thus the most southern point of Asia Continent!

[@FloraandNote]

Well save it for next trip! We’re heading to Central Asia from KL ☺️

[@keangwooichoo6138]

The portuguese are catholic. The dutch and british are protestant

[@kennytancg]

Gula melaka is actually palm sugar. Cendol = lod chong in thai

[@MC-xw2iv]

Never too late. Just more reason to go back! :)

[@SC-mb2ib]

Flora, did you attend SFX in Vancouver?

[@u2ber888]

During my childhood days we were swimming in that river and at the river mouth was the only loading wharf for imported goods like rice, tea coming from China via Singapore. Everything has got to be off loaded using human walking on a plank with rice sacks on their shoulder crossing the river. They local authorities wanted to start a so called river market to increase tourism like those in Thailand but had been unsuccessful due to lack of interest.

[@walkwithdew]

Hi, you guys are such a cute couple ☺️. Will you come to Indonesia too?

[@FloraandNote]

We will but maybe next year! We're exploring Central Asia next ☺

[@stevenlim9378]

how much was the ride from KL to Malacca? do you use Grab or just normal taxi?

[@Dashky]

You guys should come to Ipoh, Perak and Penang. 😊👍

The river has been cleaned up. Malacca, Penang, Phuket, Medan, Singapore were once the economic centres of Fujian migrants where Hokkien was the lingua franca.

[@hafizhassan9786]

To be correct, Malay was a lingua franca since 15th century not Hokkien, Hokkien only among Chinese immigrants who came later brought by British colonial, so please dont change the history of this region and Malaysia especially.

[@khairunna100]

@@hafizhassan9786Correct. Malay was the lingua franca from the tip of the Malay peninsula and Sumatra Island until to the western part of Papua New Guinea. Even the Dutch in West Indies (now Indonesia) adopted Malay as the lingua franca over Javanese due to its wide usage in the Malay Archipelago.

The Portuguese made most of their money from custom taxes on other traders arriving in Melaka.....the Chinese, Arabs, Indians and Javanese etc. and not just from Portuguese trading of spices, silk etc. Goods would be transferred from boat to boat going east to China, Japan, Mexico etc or west to India, Arabia, Europe etc.
