"You should try satay celup!" That is what my Melaka friends have been telling me all this while. So we wanted to go to Capitol satay celup but diverted to Ban Lee Hiang due to heavy traffic. According to my friends, the outlet on the left is the original one. Apparently one has to queue to eat here but our luck was good on that day as we managed to get a table in few minutes time. You have to choose you own ‘satays’ from the chiller. You can choose from a wide selection of fish balls, sausages, fresh seafood, cockles, vegetables etc. Best to take as many as you can consume first, if you want more then get refills. The price of each of the satay is counted based on the number of stick it has ie each stick is RM0.60. Similar to ‘lok-lok’, you will be cooking those items which you have taken in the pot of peanut gravy. If you want it spicier, you can add the chili flakes placed on the table. Overall I would say it is average. I like the idea of cooking your own food and eat it while it’s hot. I do not like the gravy as doesn’t suit to my liking. Some says the Capitol is nicer as they have thicker gravy and tastier. I wouldn’t know that until I try it the next time I am in Melaka.
