Helsingborg, Sweeden...

Helsingborg town

Last week, team Malaysia (that is us) went outing to Helsingborg, Sweeden...which is 20 minutes journey from Helsingor, Denmark. Hopefully, with my pictures, it can tell the stories about our journey.


Brief History : Helsingborg is one of the oldest cities of Sweden. Helsingborg's geographical position at the narrowest part of The Sound made it very important for Denmark, at that time controlling both sides of that strait. From 1429 the Danes introduced the Sound Duty (Sound Dues), a levy on all trading vessels passing through the sound between Elsinore and Helsingborg. This was one of the main incomes for the Danish Crown.

Helsingborg is small and nice place to visit, a lot of old buildings you can find here. We arrived in the afternoon, and most of the shops are closed. Sightseeing is near terminal area only. Here's some pictures to share...cheers (^_^)b .

The journey continues, 'jalan - jalan cari makan', and after 5 minutes looking for suitable place for lunch,then we noticed 'The Malaysia Restaurang', with a small fluttering Malaysian flag. Wholy owned by a malaysian Chef, originally from Negeri Sembilan, located not far from the terminal.

The food was so 'sedap' (delicious), and menyelerakan.As we was told,most of thier 'rempah' came from Malaysia. Its reminding us of our hometown, the picture below is what we ordered. And for those who want to come to Helsingborg, don't forget to come here... cheers, (^_^) b.
