Capitol Satay Celup @ Melaka

"Did you try Satay Celup before?"
"No"
 Then you aren't been to Melaka before...

I always heard people said this when they were chatting about Melaka and i guess everyone who visit Melaka would tried satay celup before. There are only two satay celup in melaka, ie Capitol and Ban Lee Hiang @ Jalan Ong Kim Wee. I'd never tried Ban Lee Hiang satay celup before because my friends always suggest me to Capitol.



Capitol Satay Celup is operated by Low Yong Cheng's family. LOW YONG CHENG'S family has been in the satay celup business since the mid-1950s. His grandfather used a kandar stick to carry his wares in two baskets which are one for the fresh food, the other for the stove and sauce. Over 80 types of seafood and vegetables are served here. The fresh food is kept very fresh via huge refrigerators at the back and open fridges with shelves at the dining hall. I quoted this from internet sources.

Queuing up at capitol for their satay celup is normal. you may have to wait for up to one hour or more due to the limited space they had in there. During my last visit to Capitol, which is on last month, October 2010, to avoid people jam, we decided to go capitol at 6pm and we do not need to wait while the seats are waiting for us. :D

To be serious, the foods are normal and nothing special. But if you have not been there, i would suggest you to try it. Everything got the first time ma =)



the shop only can put around 10-15 tables and that is the reason why we always need to wait for so long.


There are more than 80 varieties of seafoods and vegetable served here. Each stick is RM0.80


Take whatever you want while waiting for the "kuah" to boil. You are allowed to put it back if you cant finish the things you took. BUT please la..dont do that as it is not good to do that la and it is not hygiene la pls.


When your "kuah" is done, boss will come and start to put those rempah-rempah into it and make them taste better. and the rempah is their secret recipe and attracted so many people visit.


Why satay CELUP? cause you need to put your foods inside the "kuah" before you can eat it.


They do clarify that they DO NOT have any branches in elsewhere. Don't be misleaded

Price: RM0.80 for each stick
