Besides food, there are stalls selling all kinds of goods including this one that sells decorative lights 
Never leave Jonker Street without a box of durian puffs 
Pineapple tarts are popular here though I find them a little too dry for my liking. 
Home made ice popsicles in all kinds of flavours 
Kueh balu (sponge cakes) freshly made with an oven outdoors 
It is fun to eat at roadstalls as the atmosphere is truly casual and spontaneous not to mention that the food is great and cheap
A sign that says Nyonya cendol though it was actually selling prawn mee 
Penang fried kway teow in Melaka 
Steaming hot bamboo trays of tim sum
The Chinese interpretation of pancake in this advert - laughing mouth cake 
Melaka fruit tea packaged in a very modern, Westernised way 
An assortment of kuehs but my usual favourites, odeh odeh and rempah udang were unavailable 
The start of Jonker Street also known as Jalan Hang JebatMy family always make time for a little get away to Malacca, even if it is for 2-3 days. We love the fact that life is quite simple here and the food is great ! I can never get my kids or husband to shop for their clothes in Singapore as they dislike shopping immensely. So I do so with them only once a year in either Malacca or Kuala Lumpur before we make our way for lunch or dinner. Food is cheap and good and though the choice of shopping isn't as wide as in Singapore, you can often get genuine sales of up to 70% in department stores in Malacca. And of course, finish off the stay with a visit to the night market in Malacca on a Friday night.
