Malacca’s Famous Satay Celup at Ban Lee Siang
After my previous visit to the shop next to it, I feel compelled to blog about Ban Lee Siang. Afterall, this is always the first choice for me when I opt for satay celup. I am sure most of the locals know, but in case you are looking for it, Ban Lee Siang is situated along Jalan Ong Kim Wee. Be prepared to wait on weekends and public holidays, because business is really that good.
The one thing I like about this place is that the gurgling pot of satay gravy used for cooking the food on the stick is consistently good. Tasty, with the right amount of spiciness and a good balance of peanutty flavour.
While different shops serves different types of food on sticks ranging from raw pork and poultry to expensive seafood, they almost always serve the same meat balls, fish cakes, meatballs and sausages, as well as my favourite Taiwan sausages.
And not to mention the fried wontons, fried beancurd skins sandwiched with fish paste, water convulvus (kangkung) formed into balls, and fishballs.
Same as the above la.
Quail eggs, fishballs and crabsticks!
*Dip, dip, dip*
You can also choose to order the bread and cucumber to dip into the bubbly gravy, or they will give you cucumber slices. whatever your preferences are, just dig in! Yummy!

I tried so many satay celup in Melaka eg. Capitol, McQuek, Ong Kim Wee and Ban Lee Siang and they all taste bland and one of them, even “chao tah” (burnt smell), except for one new shop called Satay Celup Nyonya along Jln Merdeka (I think) with traffic heading towards Dataran Pahlawan.
I heard they just opened a few months ago.
Their sauce is a little tangy and it taste just great and I think it is the most unique over all the other satay celup shops. Go try and judge it for yourself ….
and check out their website at http://www.sataycelupnyonya.com
Satay Celup, i like very much! too bad never got chance to eat at Capitol. Always so long queue. Went Ban Lee Siang instead but noticed they kept the same pot of sauce on the table after customer left for the next customers. Eww!
) compared to Capitol RM0.80.
Last weekend found one new satay celup shop somewhere near Melaka Raya shopping complex. Nyonya style. Sauce is slightly different from Ban Lee Siang and McQuek but quite nice.
New shop, very clean and only cost RM0.50 per stick
Next try … besides the Famous chicken rice ball shop, can anyone recommend other nice chicken rice ball shop pls?
Angie-Sure, I’ll drop by to try when I have a chance.
QQ-I think the shop you went might be the same as the one mentioned by Angie. It is true that they don’t change the sauce pot, because the heat kills the germs, but we can’t be sure. You can try those chicken rice balls shop along Jonkers. They are not bad, but try avoiding Famosa, as they are the worst.
