Satay Celup @ Capitol Satay, Melaka

The famous Capitol Satay Celup (lok-lok) of Melaka... this set of photos was actually taken quite a few months back while I was making a business trip down to Melaka. It was a short drive from KL and my food buddy just tagged along. He wanted me to bring him to try this Satay Celup which he just heard of but never had the chance to taste it before. So here we came...
The place opened at 5 p.m and we reached there around 6:30 pm. Just look at the queue and if it was not my food buddy's insistence and sheer determination, I would not be part of the queue. Mind you, we had to queue for 45 mins on a normal weekday! Can't imagine what would it be like on weekends.
Got imitation one also??
It is a small place... no wonder we had to queue for so long.
Both of us ordered coconut for RM3.50 each.
The bread and cucumber for Rm2.50 a plate. You can just skip this one.
The foods are skewed or placed in a plate and placed in a big freezer... Just pick your own!
All kind of balls...
Tiger prawns...
Balls again...
The fried ones...
We picked ours...
All your foods to be dumped into this pot of boiling mixture of spice sauce to cook. The spice is a bit too strong for my liking. It was overwhelming the original taste of the food...no matter what kind of food you take, all of them would just taste the same...SPICE taste!
Half way through the meal they brought out 1 huge prawn each for us which was priced same as other sticks. (RM0.80 each if I remember correctly.)
Pacific clams and fake abalone...
The total bill came to about RM50 for 2 of us(can't recall the exact amount). By the time we left, there were people still queueing for their turn. If you haven't tried this tpye of "lok-lok" before, no harm to check them out on your next visit to Melaka.

  3. Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to know a lot about this, such as you wrote the
    ebook in it or something. I feel that you could do
    with a few p.c. to drive the message home a bit, however instead of that, this is great blog.
    An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

  5. Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.

    A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and appearance. I must say you've done a great job with this.

    Additionally, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome.
    Superb Blog!
