Christmas Day: Satay Culture:




On the 25th December, I spent half of my Christmas with my beloved man and we had a trip down to Jalan Baser for our dinner. Bf followed my style by getting dinner voucher from groupon and he chanced upon this food outlet called the Satay Culture.

Everyone knows what place to eat in Malacca. The very well-known of Capitol Satay Celup is one of Malacca's favourite haunts for a savoury meal with loved ones. Right now, you do not have to travel far for Satay Celup, Jalan Besar could easily satisfied you with their authentic satay steamboat.






Jalan Besar is not the usual hangout place that I always do. It was so stranger to me but one day while I was on my way home, the bus drove past the whole stretch of Jalan Besar road and my eyes were mesmerized by the street of eatery food. Line and line of shops which sell food! I knew this would be one of the gathering point for dinner,



There we arrived at Satay Culture with the help of GPRS. We departed from Bugis street to Jalan Besar but the weather was good for a 15 minutes walk. So no complains being made, Just a little more information of where the place is. It is actually a few shops down from Swee Choon Dim Sum.



The shop opens from 5.30pm- midnight 3.30am and therefore there weren't many customers when we stepped into the shop. Only 1 table being occupied that evening. The lady boss hosted us and explained on what were sold on their menu. Buffet and Ala carte choices here. Buffet price goes at $29.90 and ala carte was based on the colour stick, with the range of $1-$1.60, and $2 for the plate of ingredient. 



This whole section here costs $2. Can you imagine a bowl of vegetable cost that much! 





Bf and I opted for their buffet style. Given that we have $30 cash voucher and he only paid $17, we need to split another $28.90 between the both of us. Kinda regret having their buffet style because I don't eat much whenever I go for buffet. So to me, it is such a waste of money to splurge on.




There are 3 different broth but we chose satay sauce as we have never tried before. Satay sauce with peanut crumbs can go really well with all dried ingredients but never ever add in vegetables because it tastes sour-ish. Now I know why everyone goes for Satay Celup in Malacca.

There are different types of  ala carte ingredients. You will see stick of fishballs, chicken, beef, crabmeat, bacon, ham. 


Here's a dessert to get rid of the saltiness. Soya beancurd or Jelly to choose from.

Christmas Eve// 24th December 2014

Drafting another post on the Christmas Eve! Oh my, my favourite festive season is here! I am not Christian but i would never stop celebrating a holiday that, for me, encourages love of family and giving to others. Its partially a thanks-giving day! It's what i grew up with and it's something i wouldn't miss out on. Most Christians i know don't have a problem with non-Christians celebrating because they think the holiday encourages people to be good. So here's a season to be JOLLY!


On a brighter note, I was given off on the Christmas Eve and gladly appreciate this long rest-break days. Boyfriend's sister organised a Pot-luck session at their crib and I was invited followed by their Secondary school friends.

We have a whole list of food on each person have to purchase. Given that;
Daniel- Satay
Lynette- Egg tarts
Tong de- Honey Ham
Ernest/ Zhiwei- Honey Pork Ribs
Wei Yang/ Chee wei- Log cake
Me- Sushi
Zhiwei- Drinks
Aunty Jojo- Chicken wings and Fried Bee Hoon and Mango Pudding

No turkey for this year because we were disappointed with what we bought in year 2013. Our first tasting turkey was so tough and hard to bite so this year, we strongly disagreed of getting Turkey as our dish.



Arrived the house slightly earlier to play with my god-sons. Had a good bonding with them and as usual Teddy had a great fun with Boyfriend's classmates. He doesn't get tired and kept running around the house, pushing his toy to hint anyone of us to play with him. HAHA, naive dogs!




Food was cold by the time their friends arrived but we started digging in at 8.30pm. Most of them were famished and couldn't resist their temptation.



 Food was cleared fast and we have our gift exchange under the Christmas tree. Boyfriend's sister randomly bought this Christmas tree for decoration. Number was drawn and from what number that we saw on the paper, we have to find our gift under the tree. Nobody knows whose gift is for who until the very last end. 

Shihui's secret santa= Weiyang
Daniel' secret santa= Me
Chee wei's secret santa= Zhi wei
Ernest's secret santa= Shi Hui
Wei Yang's secret santa= Tong de
Zhiwei's secret santa= Chee wei
Tong de's secret santa= Daniel
Lynette secret santa= Ernest
My secret's santa= Lynette

I received an organiser and a hand-written card from Lynette! (: All the happy people are satisfied with their gifts except chee wei which he received a whole week packet of ration food from Boyfriend. HAHA! 












Selfie stick is useful and handy for such event! Counting down to Christmas together with the group of people here (: Thanks people for the fun!

Till then.
