Melaka's Baba Nyonya Chinese quarter  is a great place to hunt and bargain for old porcelain imported from southern China, antique silver or jade bracelets, and, if you can find a way of shipping it home, a piece of furniture from the colonial days.
The shopkeepers at Melaka's Baba Nyonya Chinese quarter absolutely refuse to accept prices below what they've already marked - bargaining is prohibited.
