Melaka is famed for its
antiques
, and there are many specialist outlets along Jalan Hang Jebat and Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. If it's a genuine antique, check that it can be exported legally and fill in an official clearance form. Interesting places to browse on Jalan Hang Jabat include Abdu Co at no. 79 for china and glass, Wah Aik at no. 92, which sells silk shoes like the ones that used to be made to bind feet (RM75), and Dragon House at no. 65 for old coins and banknotes. For modern
crafts
and souvenirs, Tribal Arts Gallery at 10 Jl Hang Rebat specialises in Sarawakian crafts; and Orang Utan, 59 Lorong Hang Jebat, is the outlet for local artist Charles Cham's witty cartoon T-shirts and paintings. Estee Book Exchange, Taman Melaka Raya, has a good selection of English-language
books
, as does MPH in Mahkota Parade. Other useful information
