Chicken Rice Balls! Rice Balls in the size of golf balls! |
The choice of foods you can get here is simply awesome. Chicken rice balls, chendol, some crazzzy traditional sweets and tons of awesome stuffs. Old and antics stuffs is quite of the normal around this place. The was this shop called "beyond treasures" i think. The whole shop was filled with crazy old masks! all sorts of masks you can get anywhere. and the thing is, the price is quite reasonable too! those masks still haunts me now. damn. Ever been to Petaling Street or Chinatown in KL. The choices here in Jonker Street could match that of Petaling Street, the mother of all night markets!
And i've got to tell about the "CHENDOL" ! They're were super awesome. I bought'em a couple of times and i wasnt satisfied! Bt man, the taste of it is something else. You KL people would have never tasted that kind of chendol anywhere before. The jonker street start at about 6pm. And the initiation part is a interesting one. You will see cars squeezing through the tight spaces between people on the walks. People setting up their ancient old stores with some of them preparing fresh ingredients like mangoes and oranges for their fresh juices. Dragon Fruit juice was great!

Gula Melaka Chendol! Tastes Awesome! |
The Bizzare Andrew Zimmern part! I had this tiny baby crabs! They were whole, with their snappers and legs still intact. Dipped in some kinda batter and fried right away! And you have just got to dip them in a spicy hot sauce and eat'em! You can find this stall at the entry point of the jonker street beside a big stage where you can see people performing.

It's really worth it ! |
Manicuring in KL is like 50 or 60 i've heard. My sister got her manicure here for 25bucks! RINGGIT MALAYSIA! It was pretty! And the girl took so much of time and made her nails look like a million bucks! I bet you girls would wanna get some pretty nail polish with something out of the order type? They were really nice, serious!
What else, food, drinks, old and antics. arrr!!, the river cruise. Well, i didnt go for a river cruise, but we had a walk on the pedestrian walk prepared along the river. We can get a feel of walking in Italy itself. Well, maybe not Italy, maybe a simpler Malaysian version! And the settings are perfect for pictures! Make sure you got your dslrs charged and start snapping! Occasionally you'll get to see some boats cruising along the river. Although im not sure what river it is. hmm, it got to be SUNGAI MELAKA! haha.yeap, i just googled it.

It's known to be the best carrot/radish cake in town! |
So, Malacca is a great town to go. For it's food and antics. And you have the perfect settings for a perfect shot from your dslrs! Make sure you try their famous chendols! Taking the North-South Highway from Kuala Lumpur will cause you about rm50 for petrol and Rm 16.50 for toll! another rm16.50 on the way back. Have fun guys! Malacca is awesome! cheers!
