I dare say 8 out of 10 "non-halal" tourists came to Malacca, one of the top 5 food itinerary I reckon they patron would be satay celup. During these years, it has became so famous to became a must try food list. It is similar that when you are in Muar, you definitely have to search for their Muar's otak-otak.
Well, basically there are 2 considered edible satay celup restaurant - Capitol satay celup restaurant and Ban Lee Hiang satay celup. For my personal experience, I would prefer to dine into this Capitol satay celup restaurant although it is more expensive (RM0.70/per stick).

It is so packed during the weekends where tourists are flocking in and willing to queue up to more than an hour just to get a table. This place has a better service and hygiene compare to the Ban Lee Hiang restaurant. However, for locals here, 70cents per stick is over priced but those who have not taste it yet should at least go for a shot.


Consuming this per stick food dipping into the satay sauce with lots of blended peanuts to boil it over isn't everyone taste bud. It's either you love it very much or you don't feel anything special at all. I have friends from KL who would take all the trouble driving 1 and a half hour just to dine here and back KL afterward. The number of people willing to queue speaks for its reputation himself.


For me, it tasted good especially its fresh big shrimps. The texture of the melt is tender and makes wonders to masticate. It does has varieties to choose on depending on your liking but the prawns are always contribute the most sticks I had. Had a try on the squid as well.

One thing special about this shop is that, the more and longer you eat, they will give out some incentive where bigger prawns and scallops to be served on at the same rate. At least, this is an psychology effect that keeps its customer happy despite paying for such costly food.
