Melaka trip Day 2

... continued.  We TRIED to go to the night market at Jonker Street.  Sigh.  It took ages driving there as the roads were packed.  After that it took ages to find parking with available spaces.  Eventually found a parking lot but had to leave the key with them.  Thought we'd just go walk a short while.  But the night market was packed too.  Oh well, decided it wasn't worth it.  Grabbed a few things and left.

Passed by the 'satay celup' shops which had long queues.  Ended up at a nearby food court since it was already late and we were hungry.  Luckily food was pretty good.

We managed to buy these chocolate buns 
(Expensive at RM4 each, good thing the kids liked them)


The next day, Monday, we headed to Jonker street again.  Phew it was much better.  There weren't all that many people and we enjoyed visiting the various shops.

Little shopaholic

Rest and drink, drink and rest

There's a new Mamee shop which was rather interesting for a first visit.

Noodle cushion inside the Mamee cushion cover!

Items sold were cheaper than normal market price too.

Yay Mamee!

We had my usual laksa and cendol at Jonker 88, and sampled various street food:

Sausage

Ice-creams

JE added to her collection of fluffy bunnies:

Fluffy, Pinkfy,  Purplefy, Scruffy, Darkfy, Fiffy, Miffy and Leafy


The day was definitely more civilised hehe.  No problem getting to the 'satay celup' shop.

I have a Doraemon satay!

SE is terrible at eating spicy food though.  Despite the hot water provided to wash off the sauce, she only managed TWO sticks.  Had to adjourn to the food court of the previous night.

Yum finally food I can eat. This is nice

  1. Lucky you all went again on Monday to enjoy Jonker Street else would have missed it. The buns are so cute especially the Rilakuma bun looks so alike the toy. The fluffy bunnies all belong to JE? SE doesn't want her own collection?

    1. Jonker street is a must-visit for me actually. For food and also to loiter around looking at things. This round JE was keen on Jonker since last year we found a shop selling fluffy bunnies. Yep, all those in the photo belong to her. SE had one only and got one more this trip.

  2. I haven't been to Jonker Stret. Been wanting to go but somehow kept postponing the trip. Satay celup sounds interesting.

    1. It's definitely a good way to spend a day. Most things are centred around this location.
