During rainy days or when you just want to escape from the heat for a while, this is a good place to grab food and do some shopping. There is also an underground section for shops selling locally-made items and souvenirs.

Mee Sup Tengkera yang simple tapi sedap! Selang beberapa kedai sahaja dari Mee 'bodo' Tengkera, Mee Sup Tengkera ini juga sering menjadi sasaran pengunjung setempat dan luar Melaka untuk menikmati kesedapannya. Sudah bertapak lebih 10 tahun, gerai ini sentiasa dipenuhi pengunjung yang 'ketagih' nak pekena mee supnya yang sangat simple tetapi sedap. Semangkuk memang tak cukup, kena order lebih! Selain mee sup, anda juga boleh memilih mihun atau kuey teow sup serta makanan lain seperti mee goreng dan kuey teow goreng. Ada juga dijual popia goreng dan popia basah. Ini pun saya rekemen sebab sedap! Alamat: Lot, 460, Jalan Tengkera, 75200 Malacca Waktu Operasi: 4.00 pm – 7.00 pm
