Malacca's famous Jonker Street, or also known as Jonker Walk, is one of the main attractions here in the historical state of Malaysia.
When I was there at Malacca recently, Jonker Street was one of the places we visited. We basically fed ourselves with their local delicacies and just walked around.
In this entry, I'll be featuring some of the food I ate there.
Food number 1 - Popiah, pronounced as poh-peeahh.
The content is some vegetable, meat and some other stuffs mixed together - wrapped with a thin layer of something. Argh, I don't know what's it called. Anyone knows?
Food number 2 - Mua Chi, pronounced as muah-chee.
It's some gummy paste stirred together with sesame peanut mixture. Then it'll be cut into small pieces, like this...
Someone described it as "nose shit" when I wasn't sure what Mua Chi is. Great, nose shit covered with peanut. Nice...
Food number 3 - Durian Cendol, pronounced as durian cendol.
Here's the cendol store that serves Durian Cendol, probabaly the best along the street.
And we actually ordered one blow for ourselves. Some even ate 2 bowls!
It's mainly made of ice, durian flavour syrup and mixed with assortments of... I don't know what are they called. I'm bad at describing food in detailed, for your information. Just take a look at the next picture and you'll know what I'm trying to say...
Looking delicious huh? Get yourself some cendol when the weather is warm.
Food number 4 - Nyonya Assam Laksa, pronounced as nio-nia ah-sham lak-sah.
Just a little spicy. I don't really fancy spicy food but this is definitely not to be missed!
And finally, food number 5 - some fried "LIU"s.
I don't know what they are called in English. Usually I call it "LIU". Yeah, "CHAO LIU" - means FRIED "LIU". There is a variety of "LIU"s you can choose from, fish cake, fish ball, wan ton, meat ball and so on. Oily and crunchy - me likey!
The durian cendol, nyonya assam laksa and fried "liu"s are from the same shop called Jonker Dessert 88.
When you're there at Jonker Street, remember to look out for this shop! There are antiques displayed in it too.
So that's all. And the outcome - better looking tummy!
By the way, here's the night view of the Malacca River when we're crossing the bridge on our way back.
Nice huh?

ReplyDeletethis post make me homesick :(
ReplyDeleteall featured are my fav food!
