We reached Malacca in the evening because Allan had a company event in the morning. We went out for dinner once we touched down at the hotel. We definitely won't want to miss the infamous 'Satay Celup' and want to avoid the crowd too. Allan really miss the Satay Celup very much, he is so excited when they start to serve him all the 'celup-celup' food. I have to stop him from putting the whole bunch of skewers into the pot of satay sauce, and finally stop after I reminded him about the other food on our to-eat list from Jonker Street later.

Sa~~tay~~ Ce~lup~~~
I bite... hard
"Allan, look here", "Later la, eat first"Then we head off towards Jonker Street. Now is the time where I got really excited. Jonker Street is my favorite spot in Malacca. It is a night market where there are stalls selling various interesting goods and some of them are rather odd too. Besides the stalls that sells the usual stuff such as clothes, accessories, handicraft... you can also find stalls selling old coca-cola bottles, stamps, antiques, our old time toys, pets and most importantly FOOD!!! Not only that, there were street performances too! And after so many years, we can still spot the sifu that uses his hand to poke a hole in the coconut. No play-play man, he has broken the Guinness World Records for his performance.
Neh, the uncle that pokes hole in coconuts using his finger
Old school feel of Jonker Street
So exciting neh
Makan'ing
Food again
The Orang Utan House that sells funny t-shirt
This is the cafe where they shot "Summer More More Tea"
You can also find cheap and nice clothes here
Nice wall graffiti that deserve a shot
Ok, I'm not putting this pineapple tart in my mouth... See the manufacturing date?After walking a while, we then stop at this shop selling the famous Chendol and Asam Laksa (as claimed by Allan). There is no need for deco in this shop to match the ambiance of the Jonker Street because this shop itself is an antique. The wall, the dining table, the chair, the lamp, the clock.... So prehistoric man..

Allan's favorites Asam Laksa
Wooo~~~ What is better than a chilly yummy chendol after a long walk?As the cafe along the street playing the 50s classical song, I thought I have traveled back in time where my parents pak tor in night market. Haha. We spent a few hours here until the shop starts to close for the night. At first we plan to explore all the way to Klebang for its beaches and aherm..the Roti John, but I am just too full and Allan is just too tired. Then we just went back to our hotel...and sleep.
