What can I expect at Jonker Street Night Market?
Jonker Street runs through the heart of Melaka, and is the main Chinatown street. It was once famous for its antique shops, but has now given way to a lot of tourist shops plus the usual chains like 7-Eleven.
During the week, Melaka’s Jonker Street is open to traffic and has all manner of weird and wonderful places to explore including a Mamee Noodle Museum (easy to spot as you are greeted by the massive Mamee monster).
However it is at the weekend (Friday-Sunday) when it truly comes alive – the streets are closed to traffic and around 400 Jonker Street night market stalls open up selling traditional handicrafts and local Nyonya cuisine.
The busiest time of the year to visit Jonker Street Night Market is usually around Chinese New Year (in February).
2023 Jonker Street Night Market Update – although impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jonker Street Night Market is now back to full strength in 2023 with several thousand visitors every weekend.
What can I buy at the market?
There are a huge range of wonderful things to buy and eat at the market – you’ll find stalls selling everything from souvenirs, food produce, clothing, toys, jewellery and accessories, temporary tattoos, art prints and Studio Ghibli merchandise (we bought some Totoro ornaments).
We found many stalls at Jonker Street Night Market selling very unique gifts that we’ve not seen before in any other night market in south east Asia and we would say Jonker Street is definitely one of our favourites.
What to eat at Jonker Street Night Market in 2023 – the best food and drink
With oodles of noodles and magnificent Malaysian morsels to taste, this must be one of the best night markets in South East Asia for food.
From chicken rice-balls to creamy coconut ice-cream, you’ll find some delicious delights to suit even the most adventurous traveller’s tastes. Our food favourites at Jonker Street Night Market include:
Coconut Shakes
This stall sells the best coconut shake we’ve ever tasted (a mix of coconut water, coconut flesh and vanilla ice cream)! The coconut huskers were also very entertaining – throwing balls of coconut flesh up and down in the air which was very fun to watch!
Coconut shakes cost around 5RM, or you can purchase a ball of husked coconut flesh and water in a plastic container for just 2RM. You’ll find them at the very start of Jonker Street Night Market near the river.
Satay or curry fish balls
This savoury snack is very popular at the night market. A cup of these delicious fish balls with either a sweet and spicy curry sauce or a satay sauce will usually cost around 4RM.
Pure mango smoothies
Fresh fruit in a cup is widely available but the mango ones are utterly divine, and cheap at just 5RM a cup.
Nyonya Laksa
A few Jonker Street stalls sell this spicy Malaysian street food dish which is similar to a curry laksa.
The Nyonya Laksa has a rich and creamy coconut-based noodle soup with broth made from chicken and prawns. It is usually topped with sliced cucumber, a boiled egg, sambal, fish balls and fish cake slices.
Pineapple Tart
This zesty, bitesize snack made from flaky pastry and filled with a zingy pineapple jam is a winner.
Although you can find shops all over town selling pineapple tarts (generally in pre-packaged boxes, ready to take home as gifts), Jonker Street Night Market is a great opportunity to try a hot, fresh one straight from the oven.
Entertainment
Whilst food was our main priority (a full belly is a happy belly!), the Jonker Street Night market entertainment was jovial and also kept us amused. You’ll often see street-performers and karaoke is a popular activity.
One of the highlights and most joyful moments of our Melaka trip was the sight of hundreds of old(er) ladies taking part in synchronised line dancing on the main entertainment stage and along the streets (something we’d seen before in Chiang Rai but nothing quite on this level).
All of the Jonker Street dancers were wearing red t-shirts so they likely belonged to a senior dancing group (or have started a local fan-club for ‘Dancing with the Stars’).
Their passion for life was so enthusing that we grabbed some ice-cold beers from a local 7-Eleven and spent a good amount of time watching their crazily cute choreographed numbers – who needs TV when you see something as wonderful as this unfurling right in front of your very eyes?!
