Must Do

  • Kite flying - Go to Klebang Beach where there is strong wind and enjoy the evening.
  • Jonker Walk - is an open air night market held every weekend, recently extended to eve of public holidays, opens evening to late night.
  • Night Market / Pasar Malam - Night Market or Pasar Malam. Pasar Malam is a great place to observe local cultures and enjoy lacal foods.


Must Buy

  • Jonkers Walk (6PM -12AM every weekend).
  • The Orangutan House (59 Lorong Hang Jebat, +606 282 6872) has cool T-shirts as well as paintings for sale.
  • Tan Kim Hock Product Center (85, 87, 89 Jalan Bendahara) sells famous food specialties from Melaka, like Dodol, Cincalok, Belacan, dried fruits, durian cake, etc. Might be a good idea as souvenirs for friends back home.
  • No.4 Jalan Tokong, just off the jonkers walk this is a lovely art gallery of contemporary art work by Titi Kwok, the work is beautiful and the prices even better.


Must Eat

Try Peranakan or Baba-Nyonya food, which is uncommercialised and confined to the kitchens of old grandmothers. The dishes are slightly different from that of the Penang Peranakan. Usual ones include ayam pongteh (chicken in bean sauce, originally cooked with pork) and ayam buah keluak (chicken cooked with a bitter fruit) and a desserts. Another famous Malacca dish is what is commonly called chicken rice ball. Although it is called Hainanese chicken rice, it is not from Hainan, China, but invented by the Hainanese immigrants to Malaysia a long time ago. The chicken for this dish is very much the same as the boiled chicken offered throughout Malaysia; what is unique is the rice - it comes in ping-pong sized balls. Yet another Malaccan speciality is satay celup. It is like lok-lok found in other parts of the country but instead of dipping your skewered into boiling water, you dip them into a boiling vat of satay sauce. Portuguese-Eurasian food. The greatest concentration of outlets will be at the Portuguese Settlement. Seafood is popular, as is the fiery "devil curries".

Don't miss the cendol ("chen-dul"), a sweet dessert of coconut milk, lurid green noodles and gula Melaka (Malacca sugar).
