Characterised by salmon red walls, the Stadthuys was once the
official residence of the Dutch governors and their officers. The
building is a fine example of Dutch woodworking and masonry,
and presently houses the History and Ethnography Museum as
well as the Literature Museum. Built in 1645, the Stadthuys is the
oldest remaining Dutch building in Southeast Asia.

Shopping
Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat) and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng
Lock are known for great antique finds. The charming rows of
Peranakan (Straits Chinese) shop houses that line these roads
are said to contain some of the best antiques in the country furniture, ceramics, crockery, jewellery, trinkets, old currencies,
costumes and paintings, among others. Visitors can also find a
variety of souvenirs such as T-shirts, mugs and keychains – some
of which can be personalised to your liking – in Jonker Street. The
Karyaneka Handicrafts Emporium on Jalan Laksamana has a good
range of pottery and other handcrafted items, while Jalan Kubu is
filled with shops that specialise in traditional Peranakan footwear
and clothing. A wide selection of popular brands is available at
Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka Megamall, Mahkota Parade and Jaya
Jusco Ayer Keroh.
Dining
Melaka’s unique cultures are reflected in its cuisine. Stalls selling
all types of local specialities – Malay, Nyonya, Chinese, Portuguese
and Chetti – line Jonker Street at night with their mouth-watering
offerings. Other popular places where one can find a good
selection of local specialities include Melaka Raya, Bandar Hilir
and Jalan Munshi Abdullah. Among the must-try local dishes
include Asam Pedas Melaka, Satay Celup, Chicken Rice Balls and
Kembuli Rice.
