We love how Melaka is filled with delicious food that keeps us wanting for more. The crowds are always never ending especially when you head to Jonker Street for the famous chicken rice balls, Nyonya dishes, Nyonya Cendol and everything that you can spot there.
We know how delicious it is, but do you prefer to hunt for something else when you’re there? Look out for these cafes that serve modern fusion food and give you a great ambience too!
