Jonkers' Desserts, Malacca

We have a bad habit. After hunger satiated, we tend to continue sitting and chatting until the shopkeepers have to practically shoo us away. At Chinese eating places, this art is never discreet. The Lukut place's style was by stacking (more like banging) and dragging (screeching like banshees) the empty plastic chairs and foldable tables to a corner. Of course all these were done with smiles. Lucky we took the cue in time as next they were splashing water to mop the floor. We were cool with it. Afterall it was almost 4pm. =P

Next stop, Malacca. 1 hour drive from Lukut. Not much traffic until we hit Ayer Keroh turn off. 5pm. Tea-time!

Jonkers Street night market. We were still early so most stalls were not opened yet. However, there was already a queue at this stall (it's self service ie order, collect, pay and bring to own table):-

We were quite lucky as we managed to grab one of the few small tables and had these:-

The center of attraction in the forefront is of course Chendol. Yummy. The generous amount of Gula Melaka (the brown syrup) topping the shaved ice was sweet and fragrant. Am so missing it now. What we ordered were just the plain ones. Do hop over to Kampung Boy City Gal for a peep of the varieties available. That's Phitoy's Nyonya Assam Laksa at the back which he enjoyed tremendously. I refrained from ordering any noodles as I was trying to save my tummy for dinner. We planned to do seafood at Umbai Jetty. That's another post, k. Oh, surprise surprise! There was a prawn and a quail egg in the laksa! Phitoy gave me those. Trying to manage his cholesterol, kononnya.

Prices:- Chendol (RM1.70) and Nyonya Assam Laksa (RM3.50)

Location: Jonkers Desserts, Jonkers' Street, Malacca. Not providing link to map. Afterall, who gets lost in Malacca? But just in case, just follow a car with Singaporean plate. Hehe. Coincidentally our unofficial guide that day is a Singaporean friend who's there almost every weekend!

There are so many food gems in this bustling city teeming with tourists (mostly Singaporeans, mind you). My post does not do it justice at all. Want more? Drop by Sweets For My Sweet and KL People KL Food. Oh, if you have such reviews too, please let me know. I hope to go again soon. Though it's only 2 hours drive it is always more fun to go in a group especially for a 'makan' trip. So, that will take time to arrange. *sigh*

No, we did not monopolise the table long after we finished. Those death stares .. brrrrr *shivers*.
