Satay celup is a unique food experience that can only be found in Melaka. It involves dipping a skewered food of your choice into this boiling hot pot of spicy peanut sauce right in the center of the table. And today we’ll be visiting one of the most famous spots in Melaka for Satay Celup called Ban Lee Siang.
*The few must-have ingredients based on our experience: brown squid, fried tofu skin, kangkung, pork ball, bacon slice, and quail eggs.
Tips from 食 La Vie; parking will be an issue during peak hour so be patient in finding one. Do not visit this restaurant if you are someone who is very concerned of hygiene issue. If you are someone who favor satay, we have a post of Kajang’s satay here.
We didn’t dislike any of the dishes, but we weren’t excited by any of them either. It’s good home-style cooking, but it’s not going to blow your socks off. Service was efficient and the food came fast.
Verdict: With so many good reviews I’ve read online (some even said this is the best choice when comes to Nyonya dining in Melaka), my dining experience certainly wouldn’t make it the best Nyonya restaurant in Melaka. Perhaps I’ve order the wrong dishes. Food was just decent but did not mind-blowing and I’ve had a better Nyonya meal elsewhere. (Read THIS)
This little Nyonya restaurant is located at Melakaraya area. We went pretty late, about 2pm-ish and yet the queue is still long! Nevertheless, the wait was not that long. We observed that the dishes come within 10 minutes after sitting down, so most of the dishes may have already been prepared way earlier.
Its a nice place and once again Thank You the owner for being so nice allowing us to chip in after his operating hours. I really favor nyonya food therefore my choice of selection is quite particular so may not be the best Nyonya food that I have tried but definitely is one of the famous in Malacca that you can tried some local taste with reasonable price. Rating: 6.8 /10
Finally here comes our long-awaited main dish, The Sambal Udang Petai RM19.00 featuring stir-fry prawn and bitter bean in hot sauce. The overall dish tastes rather spicy, has an irresistible sweet and sour flavor, a perfect dish that will make you enjoy another bowl of rice in no time! 😉

Pork Satay – Smoky rich filled with lemongrass flavor, have a balanced amount of meat and lard on the skewer, highly recommended.
When it comes to food in Melaka, there are two things Jien would absolutely, never share with me. The first being his favourite fried carrot cake and the other is pork satay. These are two Melaka staples that he would insist on eating whenever we’re there. We drove past Sun…
During beratur tu, korang dah boleh usha menu apa nak makan. Bayar lepas order kat depan tu jugak. Servis laju. Jangan risau eh? Kebetulan perut memang dok lapar ni. Here is my verdict, nasi ayam kepal ni rasanya biasa. Maybe sebab ramai selebriti yang dah datang ke sini, jadi tempat ni famous? By the way, ayam diperap lembut, and sup fish ball tu simple. Berbaloi dengan harga makanan. Korang yang nakkan kelainan, boleh datang untuk cuba, k?
Overall semua not bad.Sedap pun sedap.Cuma umi tak rasa dia punya sup tu jelah.Kang order bebanyak tak habis pulak.
Kedai makannya senang nak cari, guna Waze aje. Servis pun cepat, dan suasana tempat ok, kebersihan pun di jaga. Layanan mesra pelanggan, dan tarak sombong. Harga pun tak mahal, memang berpatutan le dengan tempat makan yang ramai orang dan viral hehehe.
We had tried most of those Nyonya Kuih offered in Baba Charlie and honestly, it never fails to continuously astound in every aspect, just truly a pleasure while enjoying each one of them especially for ondeh-ondeh, Rempah Udang, Kuih Abu Sagu, and Pulut Seri Kaya, arghh still keep craving for more up till date.
Baba Charlie is an icon of Melaka that has been churning out delicious Peranakan / Nyonya kuihs since 1988. Although located further from the main city, it ...
We got a packet of the onde-onde (RM5.30 for 10 pieces)- this was our favourite of the lot as the balls were soft and bursting with gula melaka
I had the Mamee in Kuah Lodeh, which is the creamy, coconut-rich gravy that is usually served with lontong (compressed rice) – only they replaced it with noodles, of course! Portions were generous; there was plenty of shrimp and tofu to soak up the delicious broth, topped with half a boiled egg. The noodles were springy with a slight bite.
Cuppa noodle. Each cup is priced at RM5.20. You can choose between Chicken or Curry or Tom Yam flavor seasoning for your noodle later.
One of our first stops was Mamee Jonker House... who doesn't love the blue iconic Mamee Monster? Here, you will find a cafe (serving local food) and there is also a Merchandise area, Noodle Doodle area upstairs (where you can doodle on your noodle cup and watch it being packed) and a Lil Monster Kitchen (available weekends only) to see how Mamee Monster is made.
The dog cafe I visited at Melaka was six kilometers away from our hotel and me being me; I searched around the area for food so that I technically wouldn't waste the trip.
Most memorable meal during this trip. Chicken satay is juicy, and pork satay is crispy. Love the pineapple sauce. Recommended. 30 minutes queue.
I have always enjoyed every visit to Hai Heng and it will probably stay that way.
The satays here at Xiang Ji Satay House had a nice lean to fat ratio; they were tender, juicy and flavorful. I especially loved the pork satay, which comes with alternate chunks of meat and thin strips of fat. The fats were nicely crisp, as they get grilled over the hot charcoal embers.
The charcoal stove grilled pork skewers were spot on, well marinated with a cut of fat sandwiched in the middle that provide sufficient “moist” to the palate. I like the peanut sauce with appetizing hint of sourness (pineapple is added, I assumed again LOL) and would beat the Kajang satay’s peanut sauce.
Aiming for their pork satay, we were one of the very first customers to arrive. Eyeing on those well marinated pork chunks on the skewers being placed on burning charcoal stove with the right balance of lean meat and fats :)
Laksa Telur Goreng Bersarang ( Egg Nested Asam Laksa) Traditional laksa or rice noodles in tangy spicy fish gravy gets a facelift with the addition of a nest-shaped omelette on top of the usual garnishing of slices of cucumber, pineapple, red onion, flaked fish and chilli padi for an extra kick.
You’ve may have heard of the hype of Coconut Shake in Melaka with Queues of up to an hour. But there is another craze in town – Mango Float Royale Melaka. It has become very popular among both locals and tourists and many of my relatives would make sure to drop by when visiting Melaka. …
Apa yang istimewa sangat dengan mango float ni? Ia adalah air mangga yang dihidangkan dengan aiskrim vanila dan ketulan buah mangga dipotong kiub. Sedap. Seorang memang boleh minum abis 1 cawan tu tanpa rasa muak sebab air mangga ni tak terlalu manis. Begitu juga dengan kiub buah tu. Ditambah pula dengan ketulan ais yang kecil-kecil. Memang sesuai minum waktu tengah hari. Hari tu kami bungkus untuk perjalanan pulang. Puas.
I've been to Donald & Lily countless time, and they've never failed to disappoint me so far :) But again, taste is subjective. Try at your own risk!
Next up, we order a signature Peranakan dish called Nasi Ayam Pongtay RM11.00 featuring blue rice (pea flower) serves with mixed vegetables and a bowl of braised chicken. The blue rice is warm and fragrant, mixed vegetables deems to be quite salty where we only manage to taste the “Kicap” (soy sauce) flavor, while Ayam Pongtay for us is a pure disaster, although chicken is braised to perfection yet the taste is super-duper salty, tongue feels numb right after sipping onto the Pongtay Kuah (highly suspects is an overnights cooking result), can’t even proceed after the first scoop so we decide to raise white flag and leave it there as per it is, seriously feel like “Ketuk” the chef with a ladle and ask them dah bangun ke belum?! 😉

The coverage of their menu as well as the batik table cloth still feel familiar to me from the last visit. Groups of customers came strolling into the Restaurant after we settled down.
A humble-looking eatery. It is located among shop houses right by the main road. The chef here is super awesome. Dishes here are incredibly delicious.
Squids Fried with Stink Beans & Sambal - known as petai, the stink beans are an acquired taste which intensifies as you chew them further! Personally, i quite enjoyed the petai although the bigger highlight was the nicely cooked squid that's fried with the aromatic sambal chilli!
Another delicious food in the menu that you “must try” in East & West Rendezvous are none other than their in-house Durian Mixed Cendol RM 5.50 served with shaved ice, gula Melaka syrup, durian, and red beans. We gotta admit, this cendol gives us a real good vibe right on our first try, it has a mouth-watering intense fragrant durian kick (similar like dodol durian) which goes superbly well with the local gula Melaka – sweet, mildly bitter and chilling throughout the whole dessert session, truly worth every single penny spent! 😉
-- East & West Rendezvous Cafe has the best nyonya chang in town . We ordered one nyonya chang to testing and bought more than ten pieces after that . The best nyonya chang that I’ve eaten . The glutinous rice is cooked to perfection and the spices is rich with flavorful .
Nonya Dumplings, another must try in Melaka. We were told East & West Rendezvous, just down the street from Chung Wah, was the place to go. They are all homemade, right in the shop. The blue c…
Bulldog’s food then doesn’t quite live up to the hype (except their cendol). I’m perhaps spoiled in that my wife and in-laws cook nyonya food very well, including doing vegetarian versions for me, so you might find it more exciting a culinary experience.
Reasons to visit Bulldog Malacca: cool, clean and contemporary setting; an excellent introduction to Nyonya cuisine; must must must order the Lamb Shank Keluak and Cendol.
Just 5 minutes from Ramada Plaza along the busy Jalan Bendhara, the name of this café is intriguing. Much as I anticipate, I did not see any canine of such breed around. Though disappointed, we w…
Mee Kahwin has tasted lightly sweet and sour with a strong peanut and galangal flavor, the broth is thick and smooth and it goes especially well with everything inside the serving plate – superb yummy and easily become a must-try in our list! 😉
This stall may be off the radar for some, but it is a bit of a local legend in this side of Malacca.
Once again, noodles take the spotlight. And once again, it is from the underrated noodle spot of Malacca. Some times I just do not ge...
Nancy’s Kitchen is not bad an option if you are looking for a Peranakan restaurant in Melaka.
Overall, Nancy's Kitchen has a home style Peranakan Food with reasonable pricing.
Overall, it is still a recommended restaurant whenever you have the Peranakan food crave in you. Just stick with their signature food and you will avoid any disappointment. Total Damage: RM122.00 Ambiance: 3/5 Service 3/5 Food Serving Speed: Moderate Recommended?: Yes

There are alot of other side dishes in store too like fried sausages and curries and our stomachs were already filled at the time.
Ah Ho’s sambal strikes a good balance; enough heat for chilli lovers but still tongue-friendly to diners with low tolerance of spice. I personally love my sambal fiery but I enjoyed Ah Ho’s sambal nonetheless.
That's why I'm all pumped to talk about a brand new restaurant in Malacca- The Kapitan Kongsi Hotel and Restaurant. Special thanks to our friend Kim Yong for taking us to this new gem of Malacca, which us, who live away from the state wouldn't have known otherwise.
Hey guys, I haven’t done a food review for a long time so here’s one! Today’s restaurant is Kapitan Kongsi restaurant which is located at the new side of Kota Laksamana in Melaka (Malaysia). In general it serves Baba Nyonya cuisine but it does serve the typical butter kaya toast in the morning.
Recently, we went to Melaka for a short makan trip. Our trip was just a 2 days trip and so, we decided to book a hotel for a night. After searching for the best hotel deals on HotelsCombined, eventually we settled for Kapitan Kongsi Hotel. It had great reviews, felt unique and fit our budget perfectly. Kapitan Kongsi Hotel is sort of like a boutique hotel with a modern built architecture inspired from the late “Straits” Eclectic style between 1910’s and 1940’s. It is strategically located in Taman Kota Laksamana Jaya which is a relatively new commercial area. Most of the shops were still vacant but that did not stop people from coming here. This charming hotel is beautifully decorated with furniture, knick knacks and posters from the 1970’s to 1990’s.
To be frank, it was more coconut milk than the gula melaka that made up the overall taste. I would have prefer more gula melaka given we were in its place of origin! Nevertheless, I do enjoy the green stuff which had an appetizing saltiness complementing its alkaline flavor, and the crunchy beans.
We ordered not one but three... no sharing... The fresh santan, the fresh green cendol and the gula melak makes a great combination!
3 bowls of yummy-licious Cendol with cream corn.

Roti John is one of the must eats in Melaka. This inexpensive and yet delicious omelette sandwich is great as a snack and often enjoyed as a supper by the locals. For those who are looking for a truly delicious roti john that does not rely on mayonnaise and other sauces for flavor, head to Seri Erra Roti John – Puteri Erra.
Lihat saja yang di nanti sudah tiba. Nampak tak roti tu tak penyek macam roti john yang biasa. Istimewanya roti john ni adalah ianya digoreng, sebab tulah ianya sedikit garing.
