Follow by the souvenir shop...in front of the souvenir shop, there were many reptile...I believe they are belong to the Lizard family...

The entrance to the Butterfly area...

The butterfly park is rather small, and limited butterfly around...I managed to capture some of them...

Passed by the butterfly park, we entering a cave called "Insect Area." It was dark, and I didn't manage to snap a good photo beside this one below...The Group of Scorpions.

Exiting the cave, there was a garden with nice landscape...wooden bridge and others...
I like this area...

Exit of the cave...

I can't figure out what so special about this tortoise, because they situated between this garden...maybe you can tell about it?

Visitors enjoying the green environment...

"This Crystal Rock was only discovered on 14th May 2006 at this part of the aviary - approximately 16 years after the park's officially open. Though at it's very beginning of the Crystal life, many believe that the discovery of crystal formation will bring good luck, which we sincerely hope it will spill over to all visitors that come to see it." - from the signage beside the rock.

There are few American Alligators at the right of the Crystal Rock.

We had a rest over here, and I noticed there are many trees have this kind of fruits (below) surround it...

Dinner at Jonker Street, Malacca 2009

After a long walking tour at Malacca Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary, we continue to Jonker Street - Malacca (Melaka) for dinner.

This is the first time having my dinner over here. I heard there are many Good Nyonya Foods around the area. So we decided to stop at the small lane which connect Jalan Tokong and Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat) (N2°11.862' E102°14.744'), you can refer from the map at the end of this post.

My intention here was to search for the Nyonya Laksa. While walking pass this shop (below), I remember I saw it somewhere from the internet, so we decided to take our dinner here...

And placed our order immediately at the hawker stall beside...

To avoid long queue from the stall, my wife bought some Sushi from the stall next to our table...

The Sushi stall, half of the customers were Caucasian.

The order :-
* Nyonya Curry Laksa
* Nyonya Assam Laksa
* Melaka Cendol

Nyonya Curry Laksa

Nyonya Assam Laksa

Melaka Cendol

By looking at the pictures above, I think you might know how was the food taste...
The Curry & Assam Laksa were just A NORMAL without any Specialty from Nyonya Taste!! The Cendol was just NORMAL like the stall along Johor Bahru street! Honestly, nothing Special about it! The meal cost as normal as other street food.

I confirmed we hit the wrong stall! Haha! Too bad, have to wait till next visit again...
You can try it if happen in this area, but don't expect any special on it...

We had a walk later on the Jonker Street after the disappointed dinner...Spotted the public toilet just at the corner...MYR0.20 per entry

Passed this unique handicraft shop at Jonker Street

Then I notice...This Is the Shop we were searching for! Marked down in my GPS, will be back soon! :)

Found this Unique Cafe - Limau Limau Cafe at Jalan Hang Lekiu which is opposite the Kampung Kling Mosque. The word 'Limau' (in Malay) mean Lemon. The special of it was...the cafe is not selling Any Alcohol and this is A Non-Smoking Cafe. The second Non-Smoking Cafe I found along Jonker Street...
