#jonkernightmarket

Jonker’s Walk on Jonker Street is a lively night market. You don’t really go for the knickknacks but to eat the delicious famous local that line up along the street.

Jonker Night Market has a famous fried oyster omelet stall and we managed to try it out during our recent Malacca trip. The fried oyster omelet at Oyster Station is RM 10 per serving.

Simply equipped with a big skillet and and the other necessary ingredients, the stall owner will start to prepare the fried oyster omelet after got orders from customers.

Firstly, two eggs with some oil are poured in the big skillet. The stall owner would then stir it consistently until the eggs turn golden brown. Various ingredients and seasoning added into the big skillet which included oysters. At this point, you would definitely smell the wonderful aroma from the fried oyster omelet!

Anyway, the fried oyster omelet is not bad, but the size of oysters is too small and the amount of oysters is definitely limited. The price RM 10 is too pricey for one small portion of fried oyster omelet. As for myself, the fried egg part is definitely delicious and I really enjoyed eating it. The eggs are simply delicious, and I don’t actually care much about the oysters!

One of the must-get food at Jonker Street is the durian puff from Taste Better One Bite Durian Puff. The store is located just beside the Jonker 88 which we had introduced. Although the store is right beside the Jonker 88, we didn’t notice the store at that time. When we walking along the Jonker Night Market, we just found a stall which is selling the Taste Better One Bite Durian Puff which we are so dying to try.

Other than this stall, there is another stall which selling exactly the same products and located at the other side of the Jonker Night Market. Since it is a bite size, we bought six durian puffs to make it a box which cost RM 15.00. The price had increasing through the years because of the high reputation among the tourists.

The staff reminded us to finish it in one mouth but the puff was simply too big for us. We had such a hard time trying to finish it in one mouth but the bursting creamy durian flavour in the mouth is really satisfying. Although most of us used to not like stuffs made by durian but for these durian puffs, we just loved it so much.  

Be sure to grab a durian puff to taste when you are visiting the Jonker Street or Jonker Night Market. The taste of the puff will be unforgettable in your life, for sure.

“Kuih” is fairly like cake but it is made from rice or glutinous rice. The Nyonya Kuih has a long time history. It comes from a nation which is called “Baba Nyonya”. “Baba Nyonya” is the descendants of the Chinese intermarry with the Malacca local resident.

Nyonya Kuih has many different types of kuih but we only introduce about three popular type. Nyonya Kuih is most sweet and savoury.

The left one is called “pulut tekan”. It is made from glutinous rice with pea flowers so the Kuih colour is blue. You can eat it together with the kaya.

The middle one is called “kuih seri muka”. It is same with the left one. However, the kaya has already at the top of the kuih so you can just eat it.

The right one is called “kuih lapis”.

The price of the left one is RM 2 each, middle and right is RM 1 each.

The Kuih was colourful and nice. We bought a few of kuih to taste. It was very delicious and the kaya was very nice

Pineapple tarts have got to be one of Malaysia's favourite snacks - there's just something about that sweet, jammy goodness combined with a crumbly buttery crust. Pop open a box and it’s likely to be empty before you even realise it. There are a few types of pineapple tarts: the open-faced tart usually topped with a lattice, and the rolled pastry enclosing the jam.

There is no shortage of pineapple tarts in Melaka.  Here, we bring you the best pineapple tarts we ever had. 

Chritina Ee pineapple tart is one of the many shops that bake their tarts so fresh, you can feel the heat from their ovens. When you buy a jar, the tarts are still warm. It's tempting to immediately open one and wolf down all of its contents. 

Pastry: While the sample was delicious, some of the tarts we bought tasted slightly burnt and the pastry was crumbly to the point of being rather powdery. However, they had the luscious aroma of butter which helped us forget most of its shortcomings. 

Jam: The filling was delicious. It was soft and flavourful without being mushy. 

Verdict: Because the pastry was a tad too crumbly, taking a bite into the tart will result in a sticky, powdery mouth-feel, but as soon as you get to the filling inside, the flavours and textures balance out perfectly.   

One jar of pineapple tart costs RM 20.90.
