Street Scene (Short Pavement)
by muddybok
Another attraction for older Melaka town area are those short pavements and they are so close to main streets, that Melaka Authority has to covert most streets into one way street. Behind all these short pavement, there found great treasures for antiques collectors. You can find many shops selling old charcoal irons, typewriters, clocks & watches, even F&N and cokes bottle for real collectors.
Eaters can find wide range of local and nyonya foods amongst these shops too. Believeeee me, Melaka is quite a food heaven and that's the reason why many Singapore and Malaysia tourists keep visit/re-visit Melaka whenever they manage to find time to escape there.
Jonker Walk
by Audrey118
Jonker Walk located at Jalan Hang Jebat was meant as a showcase to reflect the state's rich ethnic, cultural & historical heritage
During the night (Friday-Sunday) it is like a night market but in the day the old prewar shops is rally like a flea market with a Malaccan cultural flavour.
There are plenty of stalls setup by the road side selling curios, antiques, local delicacies, souvenirs and many interesting items. There are lots of restaurants, dessert shops, second hand stuff shops, souveniers etc The picture is of a huge antique shop and I have seen this boy sitting here for more than 20 years!!!
Find the water lizards
by Loubna
During a chat with a trishaw driver I discovered that Melaka was also known for its water lizards. You can spot them on the stairs near the boats on the riverbank. I had never seen anything like them, they are quite an impressive sight in the centre of town.
Hang Tuah rules here
by mansionion
As a tribute to Hang Tuah - a legendary worrior of the Melaka Sultanate area - few places in Melaka are named after him. Within the city itself, there is Jalan Hang Tuah (a street), Plaza Hang Tuah shopping mall, Dewan Hang Tuah (a multi purpose hall and library), Stadium Hang Tuah and Hang Tuah Mall ( a landscaped padestrian sidewalk mall).
Pickled Shrimps (Cincalok) - A Treat for Any Meal
by yipsufen
Made of tiny shrimps and vinegar, this pinkish meal enhancer is a well-loved traditional appetizer among the locals. Popular for its exotic flavour, the cincalok is usually added to rice for a more fulfilling meal. Sold in bottles, you can purchase this delicacy at the stalls by the beach of Jalan Klebang or at any tourist spots.
Just add a little bit of chilli shreds, lime and onion shreds, it ban be served as a flavouring sauce with rice or as an appetizer.
