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.
