So presenting … The night market of Malacca !!!!
PS, Click here for part one of the Malacca’s trip! ~
Click here for transportation and accommodation to Malacca!
The night market of Malacca is a place where you guys out there cannot miss if you are here in Jonker street! It’s only available from Friday to Sunday so if you guys are only here from Monday to Thursday then so sorry! 😂
What do you think of when you hear the word night market?
Well for me it’s just food and more food ! Of course there would be other merchandises and souvenirs found here too but well we usually would go there for the food right ! 😂
So I did some research on the web and they pointed out food that I cannot miss in the night market! So me and bf tried some of them! 😂
1. RM 1 street food on skewers!
So I’m not gonna lie but I actually regretted my choice as soon as i bought it because it was actually displayed in the open air which was kinda unhygienic ! I was too happy when i saw eggplant (my favorite) and furthermore it was RM 1 so i just bought it thinking that the owner would cook it or fry it or boil it but to my surprise he didn’t. I also bought the fish meat which was recommended by the owner. There were sauces beside the skewers. It was actually delicious but bf was skeptical about the level of hygiene and so after one bite he ordered me to throw it away. (because i bought it when he was looking away and he only got to see it after i took a bite from each HAHAHA #strategy)
The verdict after one bite :
minus (because the way the food was displayed in open air was unhygienic)
2. Honey/Lemon Chicken Skewers
Okay as soon as we saw the signboard both of us nodded in agreement and dashed to buy those. We agreed that the honey chicken was more delicious as compared to the lemon chicken. Also, the stall owner was super friendly. She gave us tips on finding nice food and also chatted with us about her life in general. Her kids had to take long bus rides to school and some of the people actually just gave up on school and chose to help their parents in businesses. No worries people, they grilled the chicken, unlike the skewers that i mentioned before HAHA
Left- honey ; right – lemon
Verdict for lemon chicken: ( Sauce is a little weird)
Verdict for Honey chicken:
3. Barbecued Quail Eggs
I actually found them to be okay. Its kinda disappointing because when i saw the pictures my hopes were raised. The eggs didn’t really have a stand-out taste and it was ordinary. Chili sauce was paired with the eggs and it was generally okay. The ones at Art Box were definitely better but still it was considered delicious :)!
Verdict:
4. Legendary RM 10 Watermelon Juice
So basically what the person would do is to drill a hole then blend the watermelon to juice inside the watermelon and then you would drink from the watermelon itself using a straw ! Hey that takes skills man! Especially when he has to ensure that no watermeon flesh is left! HAHAHA~ So we can have a taste of how the watermelon would taste before deciding whether we want it or not ! I was actually wondering would anyone really decline it HAHA .
Storekeeper: *Passes the person the watermelon to try after drilling it*
Person: *Takes a bite* No this one is not sweet. BYE.
Okay that would be quite funny coz i wonder what would be the fate of the not-so-sweet watermelon.
Verdict:
5. Fruit Tea in the 1960s
when i first saw this i was like really meh? 1960s? And so i asked the storekeeper and he laughed and said that it actually refers to the bottle. CHAY. hahaha~ Anyway we got the apple + peach flavor and it was delicious.
Verdict :
6. Liquid Nitrogen Ice cream
Also known as the dragon breath dessert, the dessert is made up of crispy biscuits and cookies of various flavors (such as corn or chocolate), and the liquid nitrogen creates the effect of smoke coming out of one’s mouth and nose when consuming it. Well i would say that it doesn’t suck but is not as good as the previous ones i tried and its a little overrated? The biscuits also taste soft and not crispy. 
Verdict :
7. Special Coconut Ball
Okay if you are a fan of coconut just put down everything and rush to this store first. WHY? Because i am not a fan of coconut but i like this! So it shows alot about how good it is ! If you happen to try it on a bad day where its not to your liking then.. its definitely the wrong stall or the person is in a bad mood ( not my fault uh!) HAHAHA~
So what the person would do is that he/she would toss the coconut up (Idk how and why) but its just very delicious so just eat it and enjoy the show HAHA

Verdict: Definitely !
8. Cartoon lollipop
Okay so this is a very special lollipop because the more you eat it the more you will get to see a picture of the cartoon in it. (It could be stitch or winnie the pooh or mickey and so on..) So i bought it !
Other than the 8 items that i introduced, there are also various stalls that sells merchandises and food. They were also fishes, key chains and traditional shoes being sold at stalls ( wanted to buy the shoes but they didn’t have my size pfft )
I came across cute buns with chocolate and red bean fillings but im not really a fan of those fillings so i did not try it. Also there were fleas around it even though it was covered with plastic (wonder how they got in) so it may be unhygienic . I also saw local delicacies like muah chee, po piah and kueh balu but i was not really in the mood to try those. Shirts were also sold at bargain-able prices & the stall owners were mostly friendly ^^
So this concludes my day at Malacca Night Market!
What to take note:
- Remember to avoid food that may have not be handled properly so you do not get a stomach upset ( This happened to me before in Thailand)
- Remember to bring an umbrella in case it rains
- Remember to keep your belongings safe with you!
And.. You are good to go! Have fun! ^^
