Bukit Cina Market, Melaka

When visiting a market, especially a wet market, a picture comes to mind: noisy atmosphere, fishy smell, water puddles, crowd. Sometimes, you find good food for breakfast too!

In Malacca, the morning market at Bukit Cina becomes animated. The food stall that I usually eat is located right next to the market area and it sells delicious dry noodles- kuay teow-mee. It has been selling for many years. Under a zinc roof, this stall gets crowded with customers and you have to wait for your turn to be served. What is so tantalizing about this food? The noodle comes along with pork and fish cake slices, but the flavour is brought out by the sauce that tastes somewhat sweet. If you can take spicy food, you must add chili sauce to your noodles and mix them up- because that will completely leave an impression.

If dry noodle is not your cup of tea, there are other stalls. The pumpkin kueh cake is tasty. It is yellowish and tastes like carrot cake. Also, the drink stall next to the dry noodle stall sells good teh si.
