Melaka: Satay Celup, Klebang Coconut Shake, Nyonya Food And More
I remember it was during my first trip to Melaka that I tried Satay Celup, which consists of skewered meat, fish balls, seafood, vegetables and everything in between cooked in a thin peanut gravy. It felt like a cross between steamboat (aka hotpot) and satay; I only ever had it once – it was a…

10 Ways The Thermomix Is Great For Asian Cooking
