as a malaccan...i have to say capitol is overrated...trust me...try one stick...go to ban lee siang try one...then you will know the difference...their change of style to a "hygienic" satay celup joint most probably led to cost cutting...their sauce is now like peanuts in water

for ban lee siang...i've tried both...i have to say that i find the right hand side kuah more similar to the original...but don't worry...if right hand side full...left hand side is still 100X better than capitol

i think i know.. near the flying school right?

nothing can beat sea terrace and the dishes my friend ordered.

Vkeong giving sea terraces a good rating wor

where is this sea terrace?

Portuguese Square stall no 1 lor haha..Anyway..none of the food there edible but yet still lotsa ppl and lotsa them recommending stall no 1 which is one of the worst

oh, was a frequent customer there..okla..the otak otak is nice, the rest so so only..nowadays prefer going to umbai

i never go there...overrated...not even Portuguese food in any way....mee mamak...fried rice...how portuguese is that???

you are breaking my friend's heart. i have to eat the food and gulp it down like it is tasty just so i wouldnt hurt my friends feelings.

so my dear friend who recommended this place, showwww your self !!!!!let him know who's boss since he tok bad about your fav melaka recommendation. ban 9 him for tokking bad about your wonderful sea terrace !

I loved Capitol for the huge prawns they bring out though! no price difference also? Last weekend I gave up queuing with my friends and went to Famosa celup instead...biggest mistake ever! =((


EH my colleagues specifically say stall no 1 at portugese settlement is the best wor! Which one is the good one then..? I haven't been to any yet

stall #1 is sea terrace, highly recomended by the moderator of lowyat.net
i think he got some shares inside there thats why keep recommending ppl to up car there

for satay celup...you do realise that locals don't really go to capitol....mostly tourist...capitol kuah is seriously diluted...besides ban lee siang..i found another shop at taman merdeka...very good...and cheap! Recommended by my friends so went to try it out...one of the best kept treasures in Malacca...lol...the kuah is thick and fragrant...I need to find out the address though....a little bit difficult to find for non-Malaccans

For portuguese settlement I dunno lah...cos I don't find the food there very interesting...I only go for the crabs once in a long while...basically it's all like normal hawker fare....mee goreng, nasi goreng etc....they said stall no. 1 is the best lah...I've tried it and it's ok lah....fried rice is ok if I'm not wrong...but they definitely do not serve portuguese food...

in taman merdeka? any landmark?

hard to say lah...driving on the main road...where batu berendam sports centre, the new mcdonalds and the pasar is on your left and you are heading towards cheng....reach the 2nd set of traffic lights at the cross junction where there's the big tire shop on the shophouses to your left....turn right go straight...there should be rows of shophouses/warehouses on both sides...reach the first set of traffic lights and turn right into the shophouses/housing area....the satay celup is a corner shop near the traffic lights at the edge of the housing estate...

Your direction is clear enough. I think I can find it. Thanks bro
