My guide to popular spots in Melaka
Sightseeing
An informative tour of the prison systems in Malaysia. Also, get a chance to view what’s it like to be locked up in a cell. Visitors will also get to view the hanging chamber - no photos allowed at this area though. A must-visit when you are in town.

Fluffy naan with succulent chicken tandoori - heavenly! Try the mutton roganjosh and pureed spinach too. Be prepared to wait as tables are always full. Definitely worth the wait!

Good place to go to have an Asam Pedas meal - the quintessential Melaka dish! They also serve a variety of local malay kuihs. Choose a few of those as your starter as you wait for them to serve your rice and freshly cooked asam pedas. Expect a queue but the wait is not too long.

Nasi lemak ayam goreng berempah is their signature dish. Ayam goreng is juicy and served hot. Rice is fragrant and the sambal is sweet and spicy. There’s also satay and yong tau fu. The best seats are those facing the river. Don’t forget to wave to the Melaka River Cruise boat passengers!

A cosy cafe on Jonker Walk - nice place to chill and get away from the hot sun. Nice food - we had the Pandan Pancake with Gula Melaka jam with Vanilla Ice Cream on top, coupled with Iced Salted Gula Melaka Chocolate drink. Just what we needed to cool ourselves down.

An old style Chinese kopitiam that serves up typical kopitiam food (i.e.; coffee, roti bakar (toast with kaya and butter) , soft boiled eggs) alongside local Malay food manned by 2 Malay stalls. One stall sells satay and the other serves up fares such as fried rice, chicken chop, noodles etc. Love the simplicity of the place. This is your chance to witness Malaysian muhibbah / harmony at its best!
