Travelogue: Malacca ( Jonker Walk+ Mamee Monster House + Superhero Art Gallery)
In case you have missed out:
Hi there, im back to update this travelogue post. There are so many things to write about and I need to be fast in case my memory fail on me.
Travelling to our neighbouring country is so accessible nowadays. Stella and I booked our bus ticket from one of the agency at Kovan area. It was a few stops from our home! We spent $56 for two ways ticket and the bus departed from Kovan at 8am. By the time we reached Malacca, it was close to 12.30pm. So in between the long hours, we caught some sleep so that we will be energised to start on our day.
After checking in for our accommodation, we set off to our first walk to Jonker street.
Jonker Street – the centre street of Chinatown was once renowned for its antique shops. However over the years it has turned to clothing and crafts outlets as well as restaurants. The best part of Jonker Street is the night market on Fridays and Saturdays that sells everything from tasty treats to cheap keepsakes
This is the entrance to the Jonker walk. Just right behind the taxi stand situated the best chicken rice stall which I will talk about in the next post. Stella and I had a long wait for our late lunch ( hold on for more information)
Walking along the streets can make me happy! My shopping mood is all charged up and ready to ransacked everything for the tables but apparently I did not bring many souvenir home. You may see customised passport holder along the street whereby they sell it at a reasonable price. Small bites food can be found everywhere here!
Continued our journey and we found a shop which sells all MAMEE brand stuffs, Their merchandise store and be amazed by our selection of exclusive Mamee Monster. You can find Mamee snacks, their lunch-box, keychains and instant noodles here.

A few streets away, superheroes cool stuff caught our eyes although there is one DC/Marvel outlet in Singapore. But you never know what they sell if you didn't enter in so both of us stepped in to look around the shop.
Its identical to what we have in Singapore. Different printed character shirts are sold here! You can bring your favourite character home. Not a Marvel and DC fans so I didn't bother to check the price, simply walked around aimlessly.

Just then, I saw photos sticking on the wall whereby customers took pictures on the character wall art. I was curious on what they have on the top decker so I randomly asked the staff if I could patronize to their top level. Of course we can but if we pay RM10. Since its just $4 plus, we agreed to their condition.
The staff brought us up but I was kinda disappointed. It was just a small little gallery from one end to another end. With limited mural arts to take pictures, we didn't stay really long in the gallery.
It was really awkward to see the staff standing them and watch us making a joke out of ourselves. He refused to move and we don't feel good to ask him to leave us alone. So awkwardly, we snapped all the pictures and leave the room as fast as we could.
We offered him to help us to take pictures but all the photos come out blur so we gave up asking him to take pictures for us. Its better off to do it independently!
Paying RM10 for a new experience aren't that bad at all but I won't be coming here again definitely! I could save my RM10 for some good street food!

Right at the corner of the street lies a handmade soap shop which their smell attracted me to enter in.
Pretty handmade soaps and air freshener that was displayed on the shelves.
Soaps can be a good gift for newly wed couple. This stella girl was telling me that she wants to get one so that she can give it to me on my wedding day! LAUGHING OUT LOUD!
Basically we stayed at the Jonker street from afternoon till night. After 5pm, you can see a turnover of stalls as the morning stalls will start to pack their stuffs and night shift stalls began. During the night, Jonker street will be super crowded, similar to BKK chactuchak market but as compared to it, Jonker night market has lesser things to shop.
Street foods are found more at night market whereby the stall tender would cook their food along the streets, The whole streets will be jammed up and people starts to push one another to pass by. Horrible people!
Here to our cam-whore with Datuk Wira DR. Gan Boon Leong ( I don't know who are you) but hey you, you look so MACHO in this photo!
Till then for the next posts of tourist attraction in Malacca.
