Ming Sate Hut

Categories: Eating..., Eating... In Malacca
It was a not too hot afternoon when Yih Tian called and asked to meet up for a cup of coffee as she needed my help to fix her notebook. After our cup of coffee at Old Taste Kopitiam, we headed out to Plaza Mahkota and ended up at Ming Sate Hut for some pork satay. Pork satay is very common in Malacca and you just need to drive around to look for it. Currently, there are more than four places that serve pork satay and Ming Sate Hut is just one of them.
Ming Sate hut is just few doors before Nadeje Patisserie.
There were no customers when we first seated, however, after few minutes, there were more and more customers coming in. I think it has something to do with me, really! It happened many times already. Heh! Anyway, nothing fancy about the shop and everything is down right simple.
While I am fine with paying RM1.00 for a plate of ketupats, I don’t really agree with the idea of paying RM0.50 for the cucumbers and onions, which are supposed to be given for free. This gesture makes them look bad and very profit minded, in my opinion.
One thing I find weird about the peanut sauce in Malacca is that they like to put pineapple inside to make the sauce tastes sour. I don’t really like it as I always think that I am eating some left overnight and spoiled peanut sauce instead of the aromatic, oily and a wee bit of spicy peanut sauce. It’s an acquired taste.
Then, you wait… And wait… And wait.
Finally, here comes the satays.
While I have eaten better ones, these aren’t that bad actually. Nicely marinated, tender and succulent. It has this charcoal burnt texture on it, rough on the tongue but delicious. A thin layer of natural pork fat is sandwiched between two pieces of meat. Hence, for the girls, you might want to take the time to take it off before you gobble it down.
Not too bad, but there are better ones out there. I heard the one at Jalan Kuli and Ranger College are quite good too.

Have never heard of pork satay until now.
I had chicken satay during CNY. I was so shock when I saw how little meat that were on the stick. Cost down until like that.

Jason, you should go and check out the satay stall near Ujong Pasir, right next to the pasar malam lot. It only opens at night but the satay sauce there is really really good and the meat on the satay is A LOT!! However, no porky though because it’s a Malay stall.. :p

For pork, I’d go near ranger’s one… For beef, many stalls also not bad. Kinda like the one at Ujong Pasir (with the popular and packed nasi lemak), right opposite the entrance to Portuguese Settlement – dunno is that the same as twosuperheroes’?? And few other places also not bad… Chicken, no idea coz don’t really like chicken satay :D

It is really nice to take different approach to the pork satay instead of the ordinary halal satay.
