Coming
to Melaka, if you’re a non-Halal visitor, satay celup is a must-eat. Remember, never leave
Melaka without eaten the savory satay celup.
There
are a number of satay celup shops in Melaka, but Capitol Satay Celup at Lorong Bukit Cina and Ban Lee Hiang (万里香) at Jalan Ong Kim Wee are the 2 most talk-about ones.
What is Satay Celup?
Satay celup is served and eaten like lok lok and
steamboat, except the main difference in sauce. Instead of a boiling pot of
soup, satay celup is cooked by dipping or dunking sticks of raw
foods into boiling pot of aromatically rich and spicy peanut
sauce.
There are a wide variety of raw foods available for selection,
such as prawns, vegetables, pork, chicken, beef, fish balls, quail’s eggs,
cockles, squids, pig’s liver, braised pig’s ears, Taiwanese sausages, and many
more to complement the terrific sauce.
Choose Your Foods, and Pay for What
You Ate
You’re given full flexibility and freedom to choose any type of
food, and only pay for what you’ve eaten.
The price for each stick of foods is RM0.80, regardless of what you take. Some of the foods, like century eggs, are served in small plates instead of satay stick. Foods in plate are priced differently, according to the plate colour.
Peanut
sauce is a killing factor for satay celup. No matter how fresh the raw foods
are, if the peanut sauce is not nicely blended, everything will be turned down.
The boss and his staffs at Capitol Satay Celup are very customer-oriented.
Realising the importance of the peanut sauce, the crew will consistently go to each table
to blend the sauce with sufficient amount of savours and peanuts.
They are very skillful, and the sauce will consistently stay at the satisfying
level of thickness throughout your meal. Just nice.
With
their advantage as a pioneer, and flock of food lovers dedicating great
testimonials, Capitol Satay Celup has gotten a comprehensive media coverage
over tens of years. Some of these media exposures are featured on their wall of
fame.

Satay Celup is always full of crowds, especially during weekends and public

willing to queue might be frustrated.
