It goes without saying that the best thing to do while you’re strolling through the Jonker Street Night Market is to try the food. The tastiest fare here happens to be the fried egg ice cream – a sweet bread-pastry stuffed with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream and fried in hot oil. Deliciously yummy, this dessert will have you going back for more and more. Also don’t forget to try the deliciously fresh assorted fish balls and the radish cake that brims with succulent flavours.

Harper’s Café is one of Malacca’s best known restobars. Serving up an excellent (though limited) menu of Malay-European fusion fare, its focus is on its seafood selections. Elegant and breezy, the upstairs bar/lounge commands excellent views of the Malacca River. The restaurant’s service can be slow but it is one of the few places in Malacca reminiscent of the airy cafes so common in KL. The café has a very laid back, New Orleans’ vibe with simple décor: dark wood floors, cosy chairs, tables set right beside large French windows almost touching the river, with decorative ceiling fans and chandeliers.

A kooky bistro with a definite upmarket ambiance, it is set opposite Kampung Kling Mosque. The breezy bistro has blindingly-bright acid green walls – (limau means lime in Malay). Soft jazz music and ice cold pints make it a favourite spot to while the afternoon away: in fact a lot of its customers seem reluctant to leave when their food and drinks are finished. Read More...
