Melaka is often known for its rich colonial history as well as delicious Peranakan food. Apart from that, Melaka is also a choice destination in the Malaysian peninsula famous for the sale of antiques when it comes to shopping options.
For a cultural souvenir, do drop by Sayyid Antique, a shop selling a fascinating collection of antique road signs started out as a hobby for shop owner, 58 year-old Encik Mohd Said Salleh, but passion and keen interest from visitors around the world encouraged him to keep his business going for 40 years now. The shop is frequented by visitors from Singapore, Australia, and also Kuala Lumpur, who often buy these signages for display or to add to their own collection.
