Melaka - Day 1 Part 2: Surprise Meetup and Jonker Street

It's already evening time after visiting Fort Famosa and I have to take that downhill climb back to ground level. 

As I was passing Equatorial Hotel in the evening, a familiar sight greeted me; it was Vincent and his wife!  They were also here for vacations and we certainly had a good chat.  They were quite surprised to learn that I had travelled here alone.

Since we've bumped into each other, and we were going to the same place, we've decided to move together to Jonker Street.  This is the most popular place at night as there are many stalls around that sells food, souvenir and such.

The night market in Melaka.

The famous building for San Shu Gong (三叔公）cookies and local snacks.

Jonker Street companions, coincidence to bump into my friends!

Local street food seller can be seen putting up with the heat while whipping up good dishes such as this stall owner; fried carror cake in the very local flavour.

The place is filled with vibrance of the night shoppers as this is certainly the most popular spot in the evening.  Not one corner where hawkers are can be seen without anyone.  If you are a foodie and love to munch on the move, this is certainly a place you can't miss out.

We walked a little further out and saw a battleship that was kept as a decoration.  With the limited night light, it wasn't the best time to catch a shot (that explains why there are literally no one posing by the ship).

After much shopping, we headed to Maccas for dinner, a good catch up before we headed back to our hotels.  Vincent and Siewlan were bound to head home tomorrow; anyhow, it was a pleasant surprise to see them in such distance land from our own country.
