Trip to Malacca – Going around Malacca town

While we were at Malacca, we took a stroll along Jonker Street in the afternoon. Jonker Street is very much more livelier in the evening as there will be stalls set up along the street selling all sorts of things.

When one is in Malacca, one should get the authentic nyonya pineapple tarts. It’s one of the authentic Malacca delicacy.

There is this shop named LW which specialised in the pineapple tarts. The shop is located along Jonker Street.

When you reach the shop, you’ll be greeted by a giant pineapple tart placed right in front of the shop.

Personally, I prefer the tarts from this shop as the taste is much better compared to others. But again, when it comes to taste, it’s very much depending on personal preference

After that we proceeded to shop in Dataran Pahlawan. It’s one of the shopping complexes in Malacca. Later in the evening, we wanted to go to Jonker Street again but the roads around Malacca town were jammed with cars as there were road closures due to the Wesak Day’s procession.

So, we ended up cancelling the plan to get to Jonker Street. We changed plan to have Satay Celup instead. Satay celup is a Malacca’s signature dish.

It consist of things like fish balls, vegetables, meat balls, mushrooms and other things on satay sticks.

The items are to be dipped into a boiling satay sauce and eaten later when cooked.

Satay celup in widely available around Malacca town. For certain shops that are more popular, there are even long queues of customers waiting for their turns to have the satay celup.

That’s all folks. Hope you enjoyed reading the post above. If you haven’t been to Malacca, hope the above gives you a start-up tips of where you can go and what you can eat in Malacca

Last but not least, if you are looking for a great selection of places to stay with discount prices, you can check out Melaka Hotels for more information.
