Melaka - so much to eat

So we've spent the last two days in Melaka enjoying the beautiful weather and the quaint, although touristic, areas in this historic city. Following a close to 9.5-hour bus ride from Penang, we found the local bus to take us to the city centre and met a lovely elderly local man named Arjun who shared with us a few stories from his own travels. We stayed at Tony's Guesthouse and, apart from the noisy street below, it was quite pleasant. We've tried as many Malaysian delicacies as we could stomach, which is a mix of Indian, Chinese and Malay cuisine. We even tried Malaysia's king of fruits, the durian, which was served as a dessert with sugar, coconut milk, shaved ice, and of all things, green beans and kidney beans. Tonight, we ate at an Indian restaurant, and our food was served on a banana leaf with about 8 different vegetarian dishes with rice. It was spectacular. For any mom who reads this, don't worry, we're well-fed.
Melaka's history is very interesting as various colonial powers took control of this strategically well located port. Following the Sultanese regime the Portuguese invaded Melaka , then the Dutch took over and eventually the British took control.
Tomorrow we will board two or three buses and if everything works out a small boat that takes us to Taman Negara, one of Malaysia's national parks. We will let you know more in a few days.
