Best Steamboats in Melaka

Of course you didn't think we would leave out Malacca's signature dish? Satay celup is a Malaccan rendition of our conventional steamboat that features thick peanut sauce as the cooking agent instead of a broth. Since mid 1950's, the Low family has driven their restaurant to enormous success. Satay celup at Capitol Satay is excellent - ingredients are fresh and service is good despite chaotic situations. Thus, we reckon it is worth the wait.... Yes... The Wait. The restaurant is almost ridiculously successful with unending lines of hungry patrons on a daily basis (well, except Tuesdays). Waiting time can set you back up to 3 painful hours if you are unlucky. Other times will averagely set you back at an hour. Unless, of course, you start queuing before they even open.

Another frontier in the scene, Ban Lee Siang comprises of two shoplots but yet, you'll rarely find empty seats here. Crowds are ongoing as soon as doors open. However, waiting time is tolerable. If you're the first batch of customers, you'll be able to get the best out of the freshly made, thick and rich peanut sauce. Spicy and sweet, it is no wonder satay celup here is many locals' preferred choice!

Wonderful Steamboat Buffet restaurant is undoubtedly a pioneer steamboat place in the state. Known for its delicious and authentic spicy broth and plentiful choices, the restaurant is a top choice for many. While the steamboat do has mixed reviews, we reckon that there must be something about this place that still garners a sea of crowds. Come and judge it for yourself.
