Good eating
We were told when in Melaka, we have to try the "Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball". Well, with so many of the restaurants serving them, we were so glad, our local friends knew where to take us... to the original restaurant.

"Chinatown" aka JONKER WALK
I guess they call it Chinatown because of the Chinese who operate most, if not all of the stalls selling their wares. It is actually Jonker Walk, which houses "Chinatown". There are also eateries where you get very good authentic Baba-Nyonya food, which are owned by the Baba-Nyonya Community ( Peranakkan - ethnic Chinese populations of the British Straits Settlements of Malaya ). They sell all kinds of unneeded junk here. Bargain before you buy anything. But first learn the Art of Bargaining please. Any Malaysian will teach you and some tourists who have travelled to the Far East, including my family in the U.S. and England...they're experts!
