Jonker Street: The Street with Many Names
Copyright (c) 2009 Nowal Khan
Jonker Street, Jonker Walk or Jalan Hang Jebat, you can pick your own choice of name to call this famous street in the heart of Melaka, Malaysia. Fondly called as Jonker Street, this narrow alley was once a wealthy street where rich colonial families lived while today, it evolved into antique collectors and bargain hunters' paradise. It features unique antique pieces dating back to 17th century, handmade Chinese porcelain, decorative brassware, cast iron beds, lamps, age old coins and genuine paper money that were used in early Melakan trade.

Kutty and Hj Abu Bakar while second hand shops are found at Nos 25, 26 and 55. Within these shops, you can find antiques dating back as far as 300 years and some Victorian memorabilia.
Jonker Street is part of the old Chinatown of Melaka.

The usual wares you can find in this side of the street reflect their cultural heritage such as local and ethnic Melakan fare, indigenous handicrafts and souvenirs you can take home, ornamental jewelry and wooden clogs. Prices tend go higher for nonlocals but some stalls encourage bargaining. For bazaar type shopping spree, don't miss Jonker Walk night market while in Melaka.
Another thing that made Jonker Street in Melaka famous is its food choices. This street is considered as the most popular food and entertainment district in Melaka, Malaysia. Here you can find extensive food options from different cultures. One must try Baba Nyonya delicacies to complete his journey through Melaka. Jonker Street is full of shops and cafes in daytime while food hawkers come at night. You can just imagine how busy Jonker Street is, anytime of the day. Wide variety of food and beverages are offered in Jonker Street. Ice cold desserts are among the famous ones which are highly recommended for hungry travelers.
Other must try food trips are Melaka's signature food, the Chicken Rice Balls, Dim Sum, seaweeds, candied fruits, Put Chai Ko, Hongkong's Curry fish balls, Nyonya's pineapple tarts, fried radish cake, Popiah, bbq squid, fried carrot cake, Vadai and herbal eggs.

One picky palate could never go wrong here.
If you crave for some nightlife, Jonker Street offers karaoke nights where entrance is free and you can sing your heart's out in whatever dialect you like best. Available dialects are English, Mandarin, Hokkien and Hakka.
