What is the main hobby of Malaysians? Singing, dancing or reading? No, I believe it should be… EATING!!! And that is all because Malaysia has all the best food! Don’t you agree? My friend in Finland just complained that she misses Malaysia already because we have a wide variety of choice over here! There’s Malaysia, Italian, French, German, Korean, Japanese food and so much more! So off we went on one fine Saturday to one of Malaysia’s food haven, Malacca!

An entourage of press & bloggers were to drive the newly launched car, Nissan ALMERA to Malacca. The excursion dubbed ‘Eat, Play & Drive with Nissan’ was flagged off by Alex Tan, Senior General Manager of Wilayah & Southern Region, ETCM at their Southgate, Cheras showroom. There were a total of 5 Nissan ALMERA and 5 other Nissan cars that lead the way and take care of us :p

On the way to our first stop: Aunty Koh Cendol, we stopped at R&R Seremban for a break and photo session.

While everyone was busy taking photos, something unbelievable happened! We found a girl (Hui Ping) inside the trunk!! Nissan Almera’s “Surprisingly More” tagline is really true!
Hahaha just kidding… she actually went in there to see how spacious the trunk is. I was kinda surprised by the size too. I think can it can actually fill in 6 Hui Pings inside XD

Hi Hui Ping! How was your stay in there?

And finally… it’s my turn to drive!!! Teehee!! The guys were all scared to death because they don’t trust female drivers’ skill pffftttt!!!

Love the key-less remote!

Another nice feature of the Nissan ALMERA is its locking system. Unlike some other keyless entry systems which still require you to press a button on the remote control, the ALMERA’s intelligent key does not require you to touch the controller.

When in close proximity to the car, pressing a small button on the front door handle locks and unlocks the door conveniently allowing us to travel safely while heading to various destinations during this food excursion.

Nyahaha! *excited*

The spaciousness of this popular B-segment sedan is undeniable. Both the front and back seats are roomy enough to be comfortable for a long legged person like me. As I always travel outstation by car, level of comfort is the top priority for me. At a starting price of RM 66,800, it is totally value for money!

After our food tour ended, the sky has gone dark already. I totally love the blue and orange color combination on the dashboard. It’s so cool!!

  12. Hilda Milda™ says:

    1. Charmaine Pua says:

      Yeah technology has advanced!!

  14. de engineur says:

    The price is a nice thing to start with. But in East Malaysia all the variants starts RM3,000 more expensive than what you guys pay for in West Msia.
    Someone must've got the formula wrong, why charge rm3k for transportation? Are they trying to profit from this?

  15. Ken says:

    why penang doesn't have such interesting events for us (poor) bloggers T.T
