There are traces of Portuguese culinary skills in many of Malacca’s delicious dishes. Nyonya-Baba cuisine is famous for its spicy dishes with its fusion of Chinese, Dutch, Indian, British, Malay cuisine. Some of the famous dishes are the Itik Tim soup made of duck and salted vegetables and Ayam Pong Teh-salted brown sauce with chicken served with potatoes.

There are also innumerable number of churches with culturally diverse architecture and also museums that art lovers can visit. Visitors staying in centrally located accommodation rooms can walk through the delightfully antiquated streets of Jonker and Heeran.
These narrow winding streets are where the Chinese settled and is now still where old Malacca’s heart beats. It is full of buildings with genuine Peranakan architecture. The wonderfully embellished structures host superb antique stores where it is possible to get great bargains on wood carvings, handicrafts and the amazing Nyonya shoes. There are also traditional eateries serving out sumptuous food at minimal cost. Jonker is where much of Malacca hotels accommodation is based.

On Klebang beach, you can follow the local example and fly a kite.
