One of the most sought-after street in Melaka. Basically, strolling down the centre street of Chinatown was quite an impression to see the old architecture of Melaka. There all kind of Mamak food around.

This is one of the "MUST VISIT" place for tourists visiting Malacca. The street comprises of :- 1)Food. a) There is the famous chicken rice, but now there are so many of them along the same street making it difficult for new tourists to decide the right one to dine. The quality of the chicken rice varies quite a lot... More

Much better than most night markets I have visited in Thailand for one simple reason, it is not overcrowded and there is no vehicular traffic. Nice offering of local food and crafts, along with the usual crappy t-shirts. Note: it's only open Friday-Sunday, so plan your visit accordingly.

Jonker Street Night Market is getting bigger and better. I enjoyed it very much, Really worth visiting. I think it opens on weekends, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Jonker Street is filled with local food delights and interesting shopping finds. Hard Cafe, Museums, Christ Church and other attractions were nearby.

The bridge that traverses the murky waters of the Melaka River(,in which,if one is lucky enough to see,large primeval Monitor Lizards bask lazily below)..is a wonderous entrance into the weaving narrow alleyways of old Chinatown and its most known street.. Jonkers Walk. By day it is a steamy sun soaked furnace of a very languid pace, harbouring a host of... More

I was born in Melaka. I am writting this post as to show the government, the authority that something must be done with this place. From what I see, things sold in the night market are of rubbish quality.. products not made in Malaysia rather from Indonesia, Thailand etc.. that's not how this place should be developed!

Jonker Walk is a street that comes to life during the weekend (tips: for a memorable experience,try to avoid any given Saturday as it is crowded). Basically, there are many street foods, souvenirs, local delicacies and others. Beware of the crowd puller food stall near the stage as one need to ask about buying the drinks from them. Expect tongue-lashed... More
