For this trip, makan is very much at the top of the priority list. And at the top of the makan list we had the very very famous Capitol (3rd generation!) satay chelup. We were late on the first evening and there was an unbelievably long queue so we decided to get there before 5.30pm the following day. We did, and found the outlet to be closed. With the impression that we have been misinformed about the opening hours, we proceeded to a nearby kopitiam for murtabak and mee goreng.
Halfway through our meal, we discovered in shock that the previously closed doors have been opened, and almost instantly, a crowd had magically appeared from nowhere! By the time we hopped over, it was fully occupied and it won't be in another hour's time if we were to wait for someone to be done. Just look at the queue! And all these despite the drizzle!
We just couldn't leave Melacca without trying out the satay chelup. So we settled for the more obscure alternative - another stall, nearer to our hotel, selling the same improvised steamboat meal, named "Dip Lucky Dip". Oh well...perhaps the next time we'd get to find out just how much better Capitol's stuff is than DLD...
Of course, besides eating, we did the mandatory shopping too. At Tesco, no less!
After two nights stay, it's time to bid farewell. A parting shot at the hotel lobby before the 2 hour drive to JB for more shopping before finally going home!
