#foodies #vianasjourney #deliciousfood 🌟 My personal favourite crepe; tiramisu affair - As an Malaysian, a good dessert means it was not too sweet. They claimed it has bold flavours of cocoa and espresso but I do not think it was that ‘bold’ but could be because I had a strong coffee with mine. 🌟 As for coffee I chose my latte with palm sugar, I am a person interested in a little twist in my food/ drink. Coffee was strong which I like but probably a bit sweet for my taste. Should have mention to reduce the sweetness when I ordered earlier. 🌟 Cafe vibes; tropical garden vibes, decorated with wooden furniture. The area is small but few types of setting from medium group to smaller group. Wc is available at the back of the cafe. 🌟 Price wise; still reasonable for a cafe in a most visited street.

#familytrips2024 Jonker Street, also known as Jonker Walk or Jalan Hang Jebat, is the heart of Melaka’s Chinatown and one of the state’s most popular attractions.

Whether you’re exploring during the day or strolling through the bustling night market, Jonker Street truly captures the essence of Malacca’s rich heritage and diverse culture.

"Malacca, a tapestry of history and culture woven into every cobblestone street and vibrant alley. As I roamed through the UNESCO-listed Old Town, the echoes of centuries past whispered tales of trade, colonization, and resilience. The vibrant hues of Peranakan architecture adorned with intricate details told a story of cultural fusion. Exploring Jonker Street, I was entranced by the lively market atmosphere. From antique shops to street food stalls, it was a sensory journey through the heart of Malacca's vibrant heritage. The aroma of Nyonya delicacies lingered, inviting me to savor the unique flavors of this culinary haven. A visit to the historic Stadthuys and A Famosa fort transported me to an era of European influence, standing as silent witnesses to the city's storied past. The Red Square, with its iconic Christ Church, painted a picturesque scene against the azure sky. A river cruise along the Malacca River was a tranquil escape, revealing the city's charm from a different perspective. The colorful murals adorning riverside buildings added an artistic touch to the journey, showcasing Malacca's embrace of contemporary creativity. Sampling the diverse street food was a highlight – from the savory chicken rice balls to the sweet cendol, each bite was a celebration of Malaysia's culinary diversity. The vibrant night market further animated the city, creating a lively ambiance as locals and visitors alike indulged in the evening festivities. In the heart of it all, the majestic Sultanate Palace stood as a testament to Malacca's royal history. The traditional architecture and cultural exhibits offered a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Malaysian heritage. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the Straits of Malacca, I reflected on the day's adventures. Malacca, with its fusion of history, culture, and gastronomy, had left an indelible mark on my soul. Each corner told a story, and every encounter was a chapter in the vibrant narrative of this UNESCO World Heritage city. Until we meet again, Malacca! #MalaccaAdventures #CulturalJourney #travel #tripstars #malacca

One of the foods that I wanted to try when I visited Malacca was chicken rice balls. The chicken rice I’m used to just comes with a plate of rice but the ones from Chung Wah is different as the rice are rolled into sticky balls. It was my first time trying this and I was not disappointed! There was a long queue as always and we took about an hour or so just to be seated. The chicken was fragrant and well cooked and the rice balls were sticky with hints of ginger and garlic. Overall is was a yummy version of chicken rice that I enjoyed. You can find them at the entrance of Jonker Street, just next to Hard Rock Cafe. If you don’t mind the long wait, do give them a try when here! #malaka

Things to do in Melaka 1. Jonker Street Weekend Night Market The weekend night market runs every Friday to Sunday (albeit in a slightly reduced form on Sunday) from the river to the far end of Jonker Street. We highly recommend you try to coincide your stay in Melaka during a weekend as it is hands down one#sta#goo#awesomepic utside ycation of the best night markets we visited in the whole of Asia. The range of products was varied (so not just your usual tourist tat) plus the food options available were fantastic and very cheap. The entertainment on offer during the night market also kept us entertained. Our highlight on the main stage was some synchronised dancing by one of the local ladies groups – who needs ‘Strictly Come Dancing with the Stars’ (or whatever it is called) when you have cute old ladies doing cartwheels in unison?

This is a must go place in Malacca. This whole street is filled with savoury foods, sweets and shopping. There’s plenty of good cafes around the area and the deco is just amazing. While jostling down the street, you will come across many art murals and historic monuments.You can expect the streets to be very busy on the weekends When nightfall comes, the vibe gets even better. Stalls are open on the roadside selling traditional food like satay, carrot cake, steam cockles and more. Live bands playing every corner of the streets and people dancing to the tune. It a great atmosphere to relax, socialise and have a great time.#malaysia #malacca
