Mouth-watering Satay Celup in Melaka

Each time, I visit Melaka, getting a meal of SATAY CELUP is a must!

What the heck is SATAY CELUP?



According to Wikipedia, Satay Celup is a dish where an assortment of raw and semi-cooked seafood, meat and vegetables on skewers are dunked into a boiling pot of water and eaten with sauces that are similar to the ubiquitous satay sauce but made with a variety of different ingredients.

Satay celup is popular in Melaka. Many tourists and locals consider satay celup a favourite because there are more than 80 types of seafood and vegetables to choose from and the sauces are thick and aromatic.

Each satay stick is priced at RM0.50 - very reasonable and affordable...

Here are THREE places I found:

1) Restoran Ban Lee Siang Satay Celup

45E, Jalan Ong Kim Wee, Melaka

2) Capitol Satay Celup, the pioneer of satay celup in Melaka

41, Lorong Bukit Cina, Melaka

Click here for more info

3) McQuek's Satay Celup

Not sure of the exact address but somewhere in Bandar Hilir, along Jalan Parameswara

Click here for more info


As of the time of writing, I have tried and tasted restaurants 1 & 2 above and they are both excellent though I personally prefer Capitol.

I have passed by McQuek's but have not tasted yet.

What is your choice? Do leave your comments...

Hi Roger.

great blog to share your road trip.

Yes. I tried this Satay Celup before, the last time when my sister in law drove us inside melaka to taste it.

But the one i tried, is really spicy. BUT certainly NICE.

Cheers
