Satay Celup is a local speciality with the satay cooked in boiling sauce rather than being grilled. It's good fun and worth it for the experience with a wide range of satay sticks (meat, seafood, vegetarian) that you choose for yourself. However I'd say that grilled satay does taste better. Friendly service - full but no queue at around 8pm... More

The family enjoyed this unique dining experience where we sat around the big hot pot of bubbling peanut sauce in which we dipped satays (veg/meat/other) of our choosing from the cool counter. It was a good once-off experience and we would not go back again. It is popular and people start queuing before 1800

We visited Capitol Satay at the recommendation of our guesthouse manager and were quite happy with our experience. This place gets seriously busy with a queue forming outside with patrons willing to wait a long time to get a table. To dine, after you are given a table, you go to the back and pick out as many satay sticks... More

Went to this restaurant after being recommended by friends. Lined up for 90 minutes to get into the restaurant. The food is so so only but I suppose it is the sauce that make it special. The sauce looks like the traditional satay sauce but with a heavy herbal scent. You will either like it or despice it. The service... More

This was a very different experience of dining out. A very popular place and if one goes at the wrong time the queue means a long wait. We got there just in time and had no wait. You sit at a table and in the centre is a large pot with the satay mixture prepared by the waitress. There is... More

The sauce was very good. It was rich and thick. My family was surprised when one of the waitress give us a bunch of food on sticks was we did not order any. Most frustrating part is that none of the waiter and waitresses speaks English or Chinese. Later my hubby went to the back of the restaurant to ask... More

As an authentic Malaccan, i would say this place is super overrated. I always see a long queue for this satay celup. back to about 10 years ago, my memory tell me the satay celup is nice. but at recent years, due to the overwhelming queqe, we had long time never tried this satay celup. However, one day when me... More

I love the spicy sauce that makes us come again and again, taste never fade after so many months. As tips for u, young fat boss mixtures are more spicy , another aged fat boss gives more aromatic and thinker sauce. I personally prefer spicier nevertheless my friends preferences are 50-50 to both boss. Very cheap and worth it. Everytime... More

We read about Capitol Satay in the Lonely Planet book so we made sure to try it during our Melaka day trip. They don't open til 5 (actually they open sometime before 5, as people have said) so we couldn't go for lunch as planned. It's easy to walk to from Chinatown. We didn't know what to expect and had...
