I do not have the coordinates for the SKY. Suggest to use the map provided in the website.

* according to the map direction : after Ayer Keroh Tolls, turn right into Jalan Padang Keladi.

* however, during last yr visit, there was a "No Right Turn" sign at that junction. Anyway, there were motorists who took the right turn. For SG cars, do so at own risks.

* suggest you try google maps or your GPS for alternative routes. There should be a left turn to Durian Tunggal [another portion]after the Ayer Keroh Tolls, but not shown in SKY website.

 

If you wish to visit SKY another time, please make advance appointment with the Mr Yap.

Poor response

 

Looks like have to wait for Enzomatrix to organize one. Last year event was a big convoy, speeding along the NSH .

It is alright.

The poor response is likely due to : RM40/pax, overnight stay in hotel, no-chiong driving

After we receive the durian harvest update on 21/5/2011, the plan would be finalized. Those names remaining on the list will proceed, because there is no minimum pax required.

Hi Bro,

 

The RM$40/ is for the durian buffet ? BTW, which hotel are you looking at ?

Hi Bro,

Yes, RM$40/pax for adult durian buffet. More info [price, location, etc...] can be found in the SKY website in this thread.

 

Not sure which hotel yet, because not familiar with Melaka, and also can only finalize after 21/5/2011 when durian harvest update come in.

- preliminary plan is set off SG early morning [6am ++], reach Melaka 9am++, drive to explore those places near the Straits of Melaka, lunch/makan/shop. Check in hotel mid-noon.

- likely to be those average-price hotels [eg. Baba House, Puri Melaka] in the vicinity of Jln Tan Cheng Lock. These are walking distances to some of the places of interests [eg. Nonya Museum, Jonker Night Market]. At nite, leave the cars in the hotel carpark, and walk to Jonker Night Market.

- next morning, after breakfast, reach SKY 10am for the durian buffet.

I am more keen on the durians than overnight at the the hotel. Should be able to reach before lunch-time on Sunday, if we start in the morning from Singapore. How?

Of course, you may.

Do take note that we are targetting to reach SKY 10am, so that are ample time to enjoy the durians without rushing.

We will arrange a convenient meet-up point at a later stage [you will be coming in from the Ayer Keroh Tolls, we from the opp direction, and no u-turns around].

 

If you wish, please add your nick in the list.

[Opel17]

Please take note the actual dates would depend on the durian harvest update on 21/5/2011.

* for sure, we will be going, just a matter of which dates [4~5/6/2011 or 25~26/6/2011].

 

We will update here in due course.
