Both Friday and Saturday nights pack Jonker — Friday slightly less shoulder-bump, Saturday more stalls. Food lines both evenings; arrive 7pm hungry. Jonker 88 cendol + laksa anchor, then street skewers and kueh. Cash helps smaller stalls. Weekday daytime Jonker is walkable heritage without crush — do photos weekday, food Fri/Sat. River cruise after market caps the night if legs still work.

Friday worked — crowded enough to feel alive, food made it worth it.

Weekday Jonker for photos, Fri/Sat for food — we did both.

River cruise after night market — touristy but pretty lights.
