Accommodation

We spent seven nights at Tony’s Guesthouse for 40 ringgit a night. It was located right in the center of Malacca town within walking distance of Chinatown, Little India, shopping malls, restaurants and tourist attractions. The owners, Tony and Sanny, were extremely welcoming and easy going. They had no problem with us lugging our bikes up to our room, and gave us great advice about where to find the best food in the city. We stayed in a private room with a fan, a shared bathroom and fast wi-fi.

Food

We ate dinner at Pak Putra Tandoori and Naan on two separate occasions. It was an Indian restaurant located right outside of Chinatown. We recommend trying the butter chicken, tandoori chicken, butter naan and garlic naan. 3 dishes and 2 drinks cost us 22 ringgit.
