MALL

This fashion-heavy mall - with Hatten Hotel on top - is linked by pedestrian
bridge to Dataran Pahlawan and Mahkota Parade Malls; you could theoretically spend

COCONUT KUNG FU
While enjoying the Jonker's Walk Night Market, don't miss the performance by kung fu master Dr Ho Eng Hui at
the southern end of Jln Hang Jebat. He eats fire and throws knives, but the real reason to stick around is to see
him pummel his finger into a coconut. Yes, he really appears to do this (his knarled finger adds evidence) and he's
been entertaining folks with the trick for over 35 years. Dr Ho Eng Hui is in fact a doctor, and the purpose of his
performance is to sell a 'miracle oil' (RM10) that cures aches and pains.
