I am back from Malacca!
Went to A'famosa Resort for a 3D2N Happy Family package. It was a relaxing trip away from the hussle and bustle of city life in Singapore and I got to spend quality time with my HY =) Was quite worried on the way there cos it hadn't stopped raining for 3 days and it was still raining when we left. We passed by some flooded areas along the North South highway to Malacca but it didn't affected us. Felt sorry for those villagers who lost there homes and crops though.
I have some complains about the lousy service we had to tolerate but overall the activities there were interesting and fun! Basically we could only thoroughly explore the place on the 2nd day where the weather was more cheerful. Accomplished a couple of No.1 in my duration there:
1) Riding an elephant
2) Riding a rodeo
The shows at the Animal Safari and Carnival at Cowboy Town were exciting and well rehearsed. And the performers are a friendly bunch unlike the service staff. One word to describe the animal: CUTE!!!!! The buildings at Cowboy Town are short shophouses modelled after those seen in Cowboy movies. Will be putting up pictures later..
Whether I will recommend A'famosa to my friends? I rather not. The service isn't great and food is overpriced for their standard. The fun experienced at the Animal safari and Carnival is definitely not enough to compensate for these shortcomings. Like HY said, " A'famosa is like our Downtown East for the M'sians" Only that theirs is huge at 520ha and ours does not have an Animal Safari and Cowboy Town..
