Walkabout Jonker Street
Jonker Street (now renamed Jalan Hang Jebat) mis the most visited tourist street in downtown Melaka.It is located across the bridge over Melaka (Malacca) River opposite the red Stadhuy buildings.On both side of the Jonker Street are souvenir shops, restaurants and even cultural displays of a typical Straits Chinese (Peranakan) House with the Baba Nonya furniture, design, old wedding photos, beaded shoes and ladies purses and other artefacts.This is also the street where you can eat the famous Hainanese Chicken rice balls and the ice kacang with gula melaka.Just beware of the traffic and walk along the five foot way where possible as this street is not a pedestrian road.A must visit if you are into Melaka Straits Chinese culture.
