Food

We started our journey at 8 in the morning, after a hour and a half of drive, we finally arrived at our destination, Jonker Street, Malacca.
We had our stomach emptied because we wanted to save some space for the local cuisine, our hunger strikes, so we started to hunt for food.

Chicken Rice Ball

This is one of the chicken rice ball shop found at Jonker street, 
we can see that there's a lot of chicken rice ball shop alongside the road since it is Malacca's famous cuisine.

Not only standard steamed chickens and rice balls, 
they also offered other chinese dishes like roasted chicken, roasted pork etc.

 We did some research and found out Chung Wah restaurant serves the most famous chicken rice ball, 
it's located at the end junction of Jonker street. 
This is the long queue outside the restaurant, 
we queued up for almost an hour in order to get a seat and enjoy the food.

After a long wait, 
we finally got our seats and the workers just bring us the portion according to the number of person seated.

This is what we have long craving for, the famous ping-pong-ball-liked rice balls.

Steamed chicken served together with the rice balls, 
although is is not that good-looking, 
but it is really juicy and the original aroma of a chicken is maintained, 
no wonder it is the most famous shop in Malacca.

Durian Cendol

San Shu Gong, the local product shop located opposite to the chicken rice ball restaurant which sells local products ranging from healthy beverages to local flavored biscuits. 

It serves many different beverages, durian cendol is one of the most selling product. 

So after our lunch we had some desserts.

The durian cendol is one of the famous product in San Shu Gong so their packaging was designed to come in handy in order to be convenience for the tourists and also the local to dine in or take away. 
The cendol is full of flavors, the aroma of durian stands out the most, is a must try for durian lover.

Nyonya Cuisine

To try the local nyonya cuisine, we had chose café 1511, since the reviews towards this café is quite good and it's also awarded tourists' choice at trip advisor, a travel app.

This is the nyonya laksa served, many different ingredients in a bowl, there are fishcakes, fish balls, Fuzhu and prawns, and of course the noodles, the soup is richer in coconut gravy compared to the normal laksa.

This is the nyonya otak-otak, it is slightly different from the one we found in Muar because it is served in bigger portions and the taste are also different.

Nyonya style popiah, this is really the first time ever we tried a nyona popiah, 
the skin are made up of egg batter which are slightly thicker than the normal popiah, 
and it really worth a try because this is the taste we have never had before.

This is called Pongteh, a dish which potato and chicken are cooked till tender in soya sauce.

A very common and traditional dish in the Baba Nyonya.

And these are some of the nyonya dishes we ordered, 
although the dishes seems similar to the chinese cuisine but the dishes will prove you wrong, 
never try never know.

Satay Celup

Satay Celup is a dish where an assortment of raw and semi-cooked seafood, meat and vegetables on skewers which are dunked into a hot boiling pot of satay gravy, which is similar as the idea of steamboat.

 The boiling satay gravy which are continuously added.

The skewers were chose on our own.

And then, everyone dip in their own skewers and start to enjoy.

Egg-shaped Ice-cream

Ice creams are normal to be found in night markets, 

but egg-shaped ice-cream is an iconic dessert in Jonker street, Malacca. 

The ice-creams are available in a lot of flavor but mostly fruit flavors, 

there are a lot of stalls which sell these ice-creams, 

After a long walk at the night market you must be thirsty and hot, 

so grab an egg-shaped ice-cream to enjoy the coolness.
