Chinese burger
As the sun goes down on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the makeshift stalls will take over and line on each side of the street to prepare for Jonker Walk Night Market. Despite we were already full, filling our tummy with all the good food, there is always space for this.
The first thing that we tried in night market was Chinese burger. This Chinese burger is not like the usual McDonald's burger that we see. The bun is actually made of omelette cakes with various type of filling such as sambal prawn, ham, chicken floss, octopus, hotdog and crab meat. Since there are quite a number of choices, we decided to opt for ham and each for RM3.
The omelette was juicy and slightly crispy on the outside while the ham filling was both sweet and a bit salty. We found that it was the best among all the other options as we could smell the aroma of ham from every bite.
Also, we had tried to find some information about this Chinese burger but we didn’t find any related articles or images about this Chinese burger. Because of this, it gave us an idea that it might be something that have been newly created by the stall owners. We could be wrong though, so if anymore do recognise what these are, let us know.
We found that Chinese burger is in the different version that they called ‘rou jia mo’. They use Chinese steamed buns or baos with the meat filling that might consist of chopped pork, beef, lamb or chicken that has been stewed with a variety of spices. As we can see, the appearance is quite similar with the one in Jonker Street, but the cooking method and ingredients that they used are totally different. So, we guess that the version of Chinese burger in Jonker Street is more to cater the preference of Malaysian. Besides, as we came from Johor, Malaysia, we didn’t find something that is similar to this Chinese burger in Johor. So, we recommend anyone who are going to travel in Malacca can give it a try!
