We went here around 10+pm and only got to sit around 1145pm. The weather was excruciatingly humid - at least to me - and it only made the wait more unbearable. That and all the hype probably made me expect a lot from the food served. It was quite a let down I feel, the satay sauce wasn't that fantastic.... More

We waited for close to two hours to try this satay place in Malaka, the place opens at 5pm and the line-up is non-stop until well into the evening. We arrived there at about eight thirty on a Good Friday and we didn’t have a table until around 10pm. I think the restaurant could be improved with table arrangements, it... More

You have to be there early, as the queue gets pretty long. However, it's definitely worth the wait. The staff will be going round to help you stir the sauce. but it gets pretty messy if they did not hold on to the sticks, and you'll be left with dirty hands from the satay sauces.

Two of us went there in the midnight hour and manage to have a try without having to queue for too long. Then we decided weave back and get all our friends there. Everyone loves it. Look out for the bonus of being served a whole plate of seafood including much bigger prawns, clams and mussels.

You will know the food is good when you see the endless & long queue of patrons...it seems this restaurant is somehow as famous as the Malacca town itself. The reason for the long wait ? - the limited tables, the dining time needed for each meal,...this 2 reasons are enough to ensure the long wait. Is the food any... More

If you're hungry, don't bother queuing for it. We queued for 75min before being allocated a table. No doubt service is good & personalised. Food is average, because I would not eat twice within a month or year. Perfect for friends' reunion and out of town customers/tourists. Must have if you're in Melaka.

The best thing about this satay celup has to be the gravy and its hygiene. I did a write up with lots of photos. Refer to http://wp.me/p1tyh7-ut
