2025 Masjid Tanah Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#traveldiaries If you're ever in Melaka and love nature or animals, the Turtle Conservation Centre is a must-visit. It’s located near the beach, where they focus on protecting and conserving endangered turtle species, especially the Hawksbill turtle. When you get there, you can learn about the different types of turtles found in Malaysia, and they even have a hatchery where they care for turtle eggs until they hatch. It’s a peaceful spot, and spending time there really makes you appreciate the importance of protecting wildlife. Plus, the centre’s beach is a great place to relax, and who knows, you might spot a turtle in the wild!

The Turtle Conservation and Information Centre in Padang Kemunting, located in Alor Gajah, Melaka, Malaysia, is a remarkable place for those interested in marine life, particularly sea turtles. The center focuses on the Hawksbill Turtle which is renowned as one of the most beautiful turtle species globally. These turtles get their name from their unique, eagle-like mouth. The hatchery at the center can accommodate 300 to 600 turtle egg nests during each spawning season. Each nest is approximately 45 cm deep, and the eggs typically take around 60 days to hatch. Once the baby sea turtles hatch, they are released into the sea. Interestingly, when they mature, these turtles often return to the beach where they were born. The beaches at Padang Kemunting have recorded the highest landings of Hawksbill Turtles in the state of Melaka. The Turtle Information Centre offers a Turtle Gallery, a hatchery, and a head-starting pond. Visitors can learn about turtle conservation efforts and witness these incredible creatures up close. The center is open on specific days, including Tuesday to Sunday, with varying hours. If you’re in the area, consider paying a visit and supporting their vital work. Location: Address: Jalan Tuan Haji Baharom Ludin, Kampung Tanjong Bidara, Masjid Tanah, 78300, Alor Gajah, Melaka, Malaysia. #familytrips2024

Name: Potret Cafe Location: Teluk Gong, Malacca Potret Cafe merupakan sebuah Cafe yang terletak di tepi pantai. Pengunjung boleh melihat Pulau Konet di seberang pantai. Suasana di sini sangat menarik! Potret Cafe menyajikan kopi yang dibrew oleh barista wanita. Antara menu yang ada ialah mocha, latte, matcha frappe dan sebagainya. Juadah ringan seperti waffle, french fries pun ada. Kelebihan kafe ini ialah rekaan dalaman yang minimalis menggunakan warna putih sebagai latar. Perabot kayu yang digunakan juga menarik perhatian pengunjung. Namun begitu, jika terdapat kek dan pastry di kafe ini, pasti membuatkan pelanggan lebih seronok kerana dapat menikmatinya bersama kopi yang disediakan. Sekian, terima kasih. #celebratewithtrip #malacca #hipster #beach

Located in a serene resort-style setting by the sea, the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, especially during the evenings. One of the highlights was the charming concept inspired by the era of P.

LEMPENG OR PENKEK (ENGLISH: PANCAKE) IS A CAKE-TYPE FOOD THAT IS COOKED USING BATTER AS THE MAIN INGREDIENT ON A HOT FLAT SURFACE SUCH AS A PAN THAT IS SMEARED WITH FAT SUCH AS OIL IN BUTTER. THE BATER IS USUALLY MADE FROM A TYPE OF FLOUR FOR EXAMPLE WHEAT FLOUR OR RICE FLOUR AND THEN MIXED WITH WATER AND A LITTLE BIT OF SALT. SOMETIMES EGGS ARE ALSO INCLUDED TO GET A BETTER PANCAKE BATTER TEXTURE. PANCAKE BATTER CAN BE MADE BY HAND OR USING A BLENDER. LEMPENG IS NOT A TYPE OF BREAD OR FLAT BREAD, BECAUSE BREAD REQUIRES FLOUR MIXTURE INTO DOUGH. PANCAKE BATTER IS ALWAYS COOKED ON A FLAT PAN. THE LEMPENG SERVED HERE HAS AN EXTRA ADDITION-THE FRESHLY GRATED COCONUT. THE LEMPENG IS SERVED WARM WITH SAMBAL AND THEY ARE SOFT AND DELICIOUS. YOU WILL DEFINITELY ASK FOR MORE. #awesomepic#couplestrip#deliciousfood#foodie#mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#tripblazers#cafe#summervacation#celebratewithtrip#travel#2023travelwish#beachlife
