Jonker Street Melaka

posted by Alvin Chan

It was a BAD MOVE to go downtown or uptown in the evening these days. There’s the after work traffic jamming session, and to add salt on wound, the Buka Puasa session, which managed to almost halt the entire traffic system in Melaka town.

Buka Puasa
These stalls are filling up the road, making the traffic worst with irresponsible patrons parking their car in the middle of the road like their grandpa owns them.

Second Cross Street
Entered Jonker Street through Second Cross Street, which in Mandarin version, means ‘Taufu Street’ or Bean curd Street. Wonder why they would name their streets with such strange names.

Packed Jonker Walk
And yea, it’s very pack inside there, with lots of things to buy and lots of things to wash your eyes.

Crystal Seller
These crystals were expensive, a small size of crystal costs RM8.00 already. Then again, how do we differ genuine crystals with the fakes?

Amazing Cutter
I was amused by this particular stall which sells a 7-in-1 pack of cutters. True to it, these cutters can cut many vegetables and fruits into many creative styles, especially the lotus style. It’s a MUST HAVE for Kitchen Lovers.

T-Shirts
Some of the T-shirts displayed on sale. I must say, some of these shirts should not even be make. It’s such an insult to westerners for scolding them in a language they do not understand and asking them to buy it just to make fun of themselves. Totally thrashed!

Jonker Walk in Melaka does give you a better feeling compared to the Jonker Walk in Kuala Lumpur. Building of the overhead shade in Jonker Walk KL really doomed the business there, drawing less visitors to it.
