Jonker Street – located on the central street of Chinatown – was once renowned for its antique shops. The best part of Jonker Street is the night market on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Jonker (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈjɔŋkər]) is a Dutch surname.
During the Dutch Malacca, servants and subordinates of Dutch colonialists used to live at the nearby Heeren Street. However, as the Dutch left, it became a noblemen's street. Rich Peranakans started businesses within the street area, giving the street a deep-rooted ethnic and cultural flavour.
The road starts from the bridge that crosses The Melaka River near the Stadthuys. Jonker Walk is situated in the heart of Melaka. It's a long narrow five hundred meter street, flanked by old houses dating back to the 17th century. It also has shops selling antiques, textiles, foods, handicrafts and souvenirs such as keychains and shirts.
