My First Visit to Jonker Walk.

Jonker Walk is Jalan Hang Jebat, Melaka.

Last week I had the chance to explore the so famous Joker Walk oooops I'm sorry it's Jonker Walk.  Actually it is Jalan Hang Jebat in the City of Malacca or Melaka.  It is very much like Central Market in  Kuala Lumpur or more to the Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur.  Just like other Chinatown features.

  

This street is closed to motor vehicles on weekends night for night market to operate.   This area was a dwelling for The Dutch workers and subordinates during the Dutch imperialism period in the seventeen century.  Later the rich Babas and Nyonyas entrepreneur took over and established their business here.

The shops here sell souvenirs, handicrafts, textiles, bags, food, drinks and antiques.

Jonker Walk is popular site for  Malaysian holidaymaker.

It is also visited by foreign tourists.

The Baba and Nyonya garments store are available.

Antique items such as Chinese porcelain, cast iron bed, brassware, coins, lamps and many old household items are for sale.

Birth place of instant noodles MAMEE.

Of course it is not the birth place of Luwak Coffee.  But it is available at Jonker walk.

To my astonishment The Hang Kasturi Mausoleum is the best of my interest at the Jonker walk.  Hang Kasturi is Hang Tuah comrade in the epic of Malacca Sultanate.
