Cute Little Crepe Cafe in Jonker Street

#foodies #vianasjourney #deliciousfood 🌟 My personal favourite crepe; tiramisu affair - As an Malaysian, a good dessert means it was not too sweet. They claimed it has bold flavours of cocoa and espresso but I do not think it was that ‘bold’ but could be because I had a strong coffee with mine. 🌟 As for coffee I chose my latte with palm sugar, I am a person interested in a little twist in my food/ drink. Coffee was strong which I like but probably a bit sweet for my taste. Should have mention to reduce the sweetness when I ordered earlier. 🌟 Cafe vibes; tropical garden vibes, decorated with wooden furniture. The area is small but few types of setting from medium group to smaller group. Wc is available at the back of the cafe. 🌟 Price wise; still reasonable for a cafe in a most visited street.

Famous Melaka Chicken Rice Balls

One of the foods that I wanted to try when I visited Malacca was chicken rice balls. The chicken rice I’m used to just comes with a plate of rice but the ones from Chung Wah is different as the rice are rolled into sticky balls. It was my first time trying this and I was not disappointed! There was a long queue as always and we took about an hour or so just to be seated. The chicken was fragrant and well cooked and the rice balls were sticky with hints of ginger and garlic. Overall is was a yummy version of chicken rice that I enjoyed. You can find them at the entrance of Jonker Street, just next to Hard Rock Cafe. If you don’t mind the long wait, do give them a try when here! #malaka

Melaka Trip

Things to do in Melaka 1. Jonker Street Weekend Night Market The weekend night market runs every Friday to Sunday (albeit in a slightly reduced form on Sunday) from the river to the far end of Jonker Street. We highly recommend you try to coincide your stay in Melaka during a weekend as it is hands down one#sta#goo#awesomepic utside ycation of the best night markets we visited in the whole of Asia. The range of products was varied (so not just your usual tourist tat) plus the food options available were fantastic and very cheap. The entertainment on offer during the night market also kept us entertained. Our highlight on the main stage was some synchronised dancing by one of the local ladies groups – who needs ‘Strictly Come Dancing with the Stars’ (or whatever it is called) when you have cute old ladies doing cartwheels in unison?

The Famous Jonker

This is a must go place in Malacca. This whole street is filled with savoury foods, sweets and shopping. There’s plenty of good cafes around the area and the deco is just amazing. While jostling down the street, you will come across many art murals and historic monuments.You can expect the streets to be very busy on the weekends When nightfall comes, the vibe gets even better. Stalls are open on the roadside selling traditional food like satay, carrot cake, steam cockles and more. Live bands playing every corner of the streets and people dancing to the tune. It a great atmosphere to relax, socialise and have a great time.#malaysia #malacca
