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.

Lok Lok Fun

The other day, my foodie buddy and I were having fun at Lok Lok Fun...

They are having promotion currently - All you can eat at RM9.90 from 12p.m to 6p.m. We decided to take up the challenge...

Lok Lok Fun is a small kiosk based in Sunway Pyramid (I can't remember which floor already but it is at the new wing). They have 6 cooking pots fixed at the side of the kiosk. It is not meant for sharing and therefore it can only accommodate 6 persons at any one time.

They have wide selection of all kind of balls, mushrooms and veggies, but lack of meat items and fresh seafood. The condition of all-you-can-eat option is, you can take the items to fill up the provided plate one time only. Make sure you finish the items you take or else they will fine you for the left over.
This is what I took...
And this is what my foodie buddy took...

Individual cooking pot...

Different color, different price... the price ranged from RM1.00 - RM3.00 per stick.

Those were the sticks that left behind by my foodie friend. If he had to pay based on the quantity and color of the sticks, he had to pay RM41.00 and myself would have to pay RM31.00. Fortunately we opted for the challenge and just need to pay RM9.90 nett each person.

It would be wonderful if seafood and meat items are included in the selection. Their dip sauce is a bit letdown as they do not provide the satay sauce which supposed to be available at every lok-lok stalls.
