Jalan Hang Kasturi: Street of tinsmiths and tofu

IF you are looking for an ancient street with fascinating sights, sounds and smells, this is it.

Jalan Hang Kasturi, or Second Cross Street as the older locals in Malacca know it, begins from Jalan Kampung Pantai, intersects with Jalan Tukang Emas (Goldsmith Street) and cuts across Malacca’s two main tourist draws — Jonker Street (Jalan Hang Jebat) and Heeren Street (Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock).
