It can’t be said enough; Jonker Street’s charm lies in its night market which plays host to a collection of stalls that sell just about everything but the kitchen sink. Kitschy knick-knacks and tasty treats are featured prominently along this thoroughfare while the tables from the various bars, bistros, pubs and restaurants spill out over onto the sidewalk.
There are also a few indoor shopping outlets that feature some pretty cool boutiques and mouth-watering Malaccan delicacies.
This boutique has pretty clothes in flowing prints as well as bags, footwear and home décor in every colour under the sun that are sure to catch your eye. Also boasting a range of cutesy charms and fashion trinkets, Jonker Gallery has four outlets on Jonker Street alone.
Established in 1992 as an art house gallery by Malaccaborn artist Charles Cham, the Orang Utan House is a studio gallery for Charles’ works, but it’s the instantly-recognizable, brightly painted exterior that first catches your eye – it’s a sunshine yellow building with a huge orange utan painted on the outside. Inside there’s a collection of the artist’s contemporary paintings (all for sale) and even reasonably priced, funky and one-of-a-kind T-shirts that are extremely popular souvenirs. There are several outlets throughout Malacca.
This store is owned by the husband and wife team – Teng and Lucy – has been listed in the 2004 Malaysian Guinness Record Book for baking the largest pineapple tart in Malaysia. In the ensuing years LW has grown by leaps and bounds and they now have four outlets across Malacca.
This little store – located opposite the Geographer café – is the perfect place to get some delicious Nyonya pastries. Try the kuih bangkit and the absolutely sumptuous double-buttered Nyonya pineapple tarts, as they’re simply out of this world.
