I am a native here. 'Malacca' has many good foods. Tourists, especially, benefit greatly from this fact. But first thing, you have to find out the facts, before finding those foods.
Food here in Malaysia can be considered cheap. Hawker stalls that are set up provide tasty and very much affordable lunch and dinner servings. For example, the chicken rice and 'nasi lemak' and great 'Chinese' foods. Starting at 'RM2.50' or 'RM3.00', one can experience delight. At night, there is no 'curfew'. Why is that, you ask? Despite this, 'Malacca' remains a peaceful place. The great thing is, you can grab the 'roti canai' and its mouth-watering varieties at 'mamak' stalls. 'Mamak' stalls are great places for hanging out or for supper. Enjoy the cool night breeze, as 'Malacca' is a coastal state. This is because the city is only 1km away from the sea.
