Look at the sauce. What does it remind you of?Yours Sincerely was in Malacca town sometime ago and was in need of dinner. Being unfamiliar with the place, it was difficult to find an exotic place to dine. So, Y S made a few rounds around the small town and ... lo.....behold...... Y S spotted a mightily crowded eating shop. That must be the place.
So, Y S parked the car and made a bee-line to this " Satay Celup" restaurant or literally translated as "Dipped Barbecued" and not grilled over the fire. It is an assortment of skewed seafood on sticks which you have to dip into boiling hot spicy peanut sauce. It is the sauce which you normally take together with your ordinary "satay." However, this one is very much thicker and it is being boiled and boiled over and over again and again. At its base is a mulch of plentiful bits of peanuts. Younger daughter commented that the sauce is like used car's engine oil. Well, it looks like it anyway.
Since this is a free flow buffet, you can stomach as much as you want. So, as usual you can see the "Kiasus" or "go getters" dashing for the more expensive morsels of food - prawns, cuttle fish, abalone (faked), to list just a few. And in front of the queue, as usual again if you are in Malacca, are those "cousins" of ours from the tiny island south of Johore.
Anyway it was a good experience and another one off Y S' bucket list of food.

I've tried this in Malacca before too. The first few sticks were nice.. but one does get a little 'jelak' after one too many sticks. But it was a good experience!
