We took a Grab from the end of Jonker Walk to The Huskitory which was 13 minute ride and reached the venue at about 12.05pm, just in time for our session scheduled to begin at 12.15pm.
The Huskitory is a wonderful place for dogs lovers to get up close and interact with fluffy Siberian Huskies. We booked our slot online right after breakfast. It was recommended to book your slot at least an hour in advance to avoid disappointment as we saw some walk-in customers got rejected due to fully booked slots, having to wait over an hour for the next available session.
Our session was from 12.15pm to 1.15pm at RM41 (or S$13.67) and inclusive of a drink. The session began with a short video and shortly after that, close to 20 Huskies came running into the room eager to meet us.
You can purchase the snack pack at RM2 (or S$0.67) each to attract the Huskies to you. I could hardly contain my excitement as I mingled with these fluffy and energetic companions, creating moments of joy and connection.
Though the Huskies may looked fierce and intimidating, they were quite obedient and friendly. They were not shy in interacting with strangers, especially if you had snacks to offer, showing how smart they were.
Among the dog cafes that I have been to, I like this the best. The Huskies were very active, constantly roaming around searching for snacks. Unlike other dog cafes where the dogs tend to laze around after a while, these Huskies remained lively throughout, making the visit a memorable one.
This was the smallest size among the Huskies, it liked to climb up onto people's legs and sat there comfortably, the cuteness melted my heart instantly.
The session ended off with individual group photos with the Huskies lining in one row, taken by the professional camera. Guests can purchase both soft and hard copies of the photos at an additional cost. After the photo session, we received our complimentary drinks, with options of blackcurrant or fruit punch. I opted for the blackcurrant.

Our session ended at 1.15pm and we loitered around for awhile before taking a Grab down to AEON Mall Bandaraya Melaka which was 25 minute drive at RM17 (or S$5.67).
It was nearly 2.20pm by the time we reached the mall and I was very hungry. We decided to skip restaurant that were available in Singapore and settled on Manjoe Taiwanese Dumplings for something different. The mall was full of Singaporeans like the table besides us, it was easy to identify them from their fluent English. The tables were very close to each other, not a good spot for chit-chatting.
We ordered Salt & Pepper Popcorn Chicken for RM10.90 (or S$3.63) before tax, a must order for me whenever I dine at a Taiwanese restaurant. The seasoning on the popcorn chicken was savoury and bursting with flavour when dipped with the chili sauce.
I had Tomato Soup Sweet Corn Dumpling Noodle at RM16.50 (or S$5.50) before tax. The knife-cut noodle had a meepok texture with chewy bites. The tomato soup was sweet and tangy. With the corn dumplings, this comforting dish was bursting with flavours.

Most of the time, we were just window shopping since they were not many deals. My favourite part of the mall was their supermarket as I loved browsing for snacks. I gotten RM16.55 (or S$5.52) worth of snacks.
Feeling thirsty after the shopping, I decided to find a place to chill with a drink before leaving the mall. We settled at Gong Cha for a 40 minute break.
I had Milk Tea with Herbal Jelly at RM11 (or S$3.67). The herbal jelly added a chewy texture, complementing the smooth milk tea with a subtle herbal taste. However, milk tea might not be the best choice to quench thirst, as I still felt the thirst even after finishing it.

We took a Grab ride back to the hotel at RM12 (or S$4). What should have been a 20 minute ride turned into a 50 minute ride due to heavy traffic. It took us 15 minutes just to exit the mall’s gantry due to a long multiple line of cars queuing. Halfway through the ride, our driver was stopped by traffic police for running a red light (which I did not really noticed) and was issued a fine. I felt really sorry for the driver.
We finally reached the hotel at 6.05pm. Before heading up to the room, we stopped by 7-Eleven to purchase another bottle of mineral water to top up our supply.
Here's my purchase for today.
We rested in our room for an hour and left at 7.20pm to Jonker Street.
We reached Jonker Walk at 8pm via Grab. We were here to experience Jonker Street Night Market which opens only on weekend from Friday to Sunday, starting at 6pm. Other than the shops we saw during the day, the street at night lined with cart vendors along the road which is closed to vehicles.
We shared a stick of Potato Spring with BBQ Powder at RM6 (or S$2). This has always been my favorite snack to order at pasar malam.
The night market was a lively and vibrant scene, The vendors sold a wide range of items to tourists including bags, shirts, accessories, figurines, toys, phone covers and more. However, most items were priced on the higher side.
Next, we had Mua Chi which was also at RM6 (or S$2) which was coated with crushed peanuts.
I was attracted by the Crispy Waffle displayed in the photo, so we decided to stop and try one. We ordered a Peanut Crispy Waffle for RM5 (or S$1.67) to share.
As we ate while it was still hot, the waffles was crunchy on the outside with nutty peanut filling. Though the peanut was not as thick as shown in the display photo, it was still delicious.
The river view at night was illuminated by colorful lights that brought the surrounding area to life. We got to experience the day and night view during this trip.
There were plenty of trishaws decorated with flowers, glowing neon lights and cartoon plushies, adding a lively touch to the night.
It was already 9.25pm when we reached Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall, it was our third time here during this trip. Most of the shops were already preparing for closing, so we did not linger for long. We reached hotel at 10pm and caught a bit of Spider-Man: No Way Home that was showing on the television.
