Food Hunt: Restoran Famosa Chicken Rice Ball & Capitol Satay Celup, Melaka

Hello folks,

Restoran Famosa Chicken Rice Ball

Finally today I manage to plan a short trip with my brother Alan and we have planned to go to Melaka for some food hunt. In fact, besides food hunt, I did bring Alan downtown to Melaka to visit some of the historical places in Melaka. It was an amazing but pretty tired day as I am still yet to recovered from my sick yet. But I still managed to go travel and hunt for food! Eat first, think next! Haha! We departed from Kuala Lumpur at about 9.30am and reach Melaka about 12 noon. The roads were all clear and no traffic jam despite the long holidays ahead. But I assume it will be a massive jam on Sunday and Monday as well. So plan your journey ahead ya! Just after we arrived at Melaka, we parked at the coupons parking bays and next to the Police Station (see how safe it is!).

Then, straight we went for the food hunt. The shops that we went to have our lunch is Restoran Famosa Chicken Rice Ball. The restaurant design was an old fashion China palace where the king lives. It was so nice and as you eat, you can feel you are enjoying your meal at the king's palace in China. The dishes that we've ordered is 1/4 of kampung & roasted chicken (mixed), a vegetable (choi sum) and 10 pieces of round chicken rice balls. Speaking of the taste, the round chicken rice balls was nice and perhaps you need to eat it with the chilli's provided since the original chicken rice balls is plain. About the chickens, both roasted and kampung chicken was nice and both of us enjoy the meal as well in the afternoon. It was something special that we seldom find in Kuala Lumpur. The price of the bill including 2 drinks (Fresh Orange & 100 Plus) is RM28.60. It's not expensive at all and it's calue for money. Do check out the pictures ya. Alan & My Rating: 5/5

Capitol Satay Celup

In the evening, after visit the places in Melaka, we have decided to make a stop to try out the most famous satay in town called the Satay Celup. It's first of its kind in Malaysia that you can enjoy the satay celup (look look in cantonese) in the shop itself with a comfortable seats. OK. This is something that I would like to warn you guys about. The business hours starts at 5.00pm and especially during the weekends and public holidays, I advised you go to as early as you can or before 5.00 because after 5.00pm (once the restaurant start it's business), you can see a 100m queue from the restaurant & the restaurant is already packed with customers. Me & Alan arrived at about 5.20pm and we have to start queuing up already and it took us about 35 minutes to get a place. Well, finally we have tried the satay celup and this is how it works. It is self service as you will need to take yourself whatever you want to eat (like buffet style). But each sticks costs about RM0.70 and besides the sticks, you still can find some other dishes in plates like Dim Sum, crab sticks etc.




Once you have get the food, then you may put the food sticks inside the pot filled with Satay sauce. Many people say, the restaurant serves the most tasty satay sauce in town where other shops could not provide. Basically, I can see other shops was like no business at all or only 1 or 2 visitors came but for Capitol Satay, it was crowded like nobody's business. OK. Now it's time for me to give some comments on the food. The satay sauce that I've tried was amazing and it was added with some additional herbs inside and this makes the food sticks that was filled with satay sauce very tasty. The food sticks and plate food was very fresh as well. Same as Alan, he also told me the same and it was marvellous. Both of us keep on talking after the meal as we had never experienced before in life. The food bill came and it's RM39.40 (Including 3 cans of 100 Plus) & it's value for money once again.
