Jonker 88 Desserts @ Jonker Street
If you do not know where to eat the good food here, just observe around. The shop with many people line up is always the best and well known.
The best thing of this desert is it’s filled with Gula Melaka (palm sugar) which taste very sweet. The sweetness doesn’t maintain long in your mouth. It will gone into your throat with cold icy. OMG, its taste too goood!
The stall is require you to self-service even though there are few workers walk around busily.
Combination of food and desert makes perfect at Jonker88. I tried their Baba Laksa, served with some cucumber and onion slices, tofu pok and a spoon of tuna. The taste is not as hot as curry and sour as asam. It just make my day when I finished the entire bowl include the soup.
Early morning do not have the crowd compare to lunch hour and night which is very hard to get the table. People just standing outside and opposite the shop to enjoy the ice-kacang.
The restaurant ambiance is giving me a 30′s era. We took group photograph of four only.
My makan-makan trip wouldn’t complete without this visit and order ice-kacang at least. In fact, there are few flavours to try out. I’m sure drop by every time I visit Melaka.
Chicken Rice Ball @ Hoe Kee

Chicken Rice Balls is one of the uniqueness in Melaka. It’s nothing much different from Hainanese Chicken Rice. We beat our appetite in our recent trip of Jom Makan-Makan at Melaka @ 28 Mar 2009.
Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Ball @ Jonker Street
You can see this Jonker Street board (attached on new renovated building) when you coming from Jalan Laksamana (Christ Church) towards Lorong Hang Jebat. This building known as Sam Shu Gong which sell varieties traditional biscuits and candies. It’s very similar to Tan Kim Hock food distributor that we know 20 years ago.
Beside this building is where Hoe Kee Chicken Rice is located.
As early as 11.00, I can see people start queuing. I thought at 3pm, getting a seat would be easier but then the queue is still there. People just get crazy over one place too much. In fact, there are few, but we choose this place as we feel it’s cleaner and not stuffy.
It’s all that we all get crazy about. It’s nothing except the rice is made into ping pong size and unique to Melaka food tourism.
The sticky ball is definitely better compare to my last visits. It do not break easily. Also I don’t think I’m getting enough with even 15 balls. Therefore, I prefer the normal rice.
A good try if you think what you want for your lunch. Come on, chicken rice ball at Melaka.
