The story of Jonker Street
Jonker Street, officially Jalan Hang Jebat, is the main street of Malacca's old Chinatown, lined with 17th- to 20th-century shophouses, clan houses and temples. It is a centre of Peranakan, or Baba-Nyonya, culture, born of Chinese and Malay heritage.
On weekend evenings the street closes to traffic and fills with food stalls and vendors. Try chicken rice balls, cendol with gula Melaka, popiah and Nyonya kuih.
