Malacca, Malaysia｜Xiang Ji Satay House

Best pork satay place, whenever we visit malacca must come to this satay place to eat. They sell authentic hainan style satay. Their pork satay, intestine satay are the best with their pineapple gravy sauce, always finished early. They sell beers too to eat with satay. 10/10 would come again. Come and support the uncle and old grandma.

Oh my god! These were the first words that came to mind as I had their satays. The flavours that burst through these well-seasoned meat had me mind blown. Truly! This restaurant is an old time gem, well loved by locals and tourists alike. Of course, I was skeptical when I first sat down in the restaurant. Just how good can satay be? Oh, did they prove me wrong. They had four types of satays on their short and sweet menu. Pork, Pork Intestine, Pork Liver and Chicken. I ordered all four. All of the skewers were well-marinated and juicy. Their meat had tons of flavour, and it had that crispy-char, with that perfect lean meat to fat ratio, that made for a perfect stick. Grilled over charcoals embers, and delivered right to your table while it’s piping hot- it’s definitely an experience you want to try out. Pros: + For me, I especially loved the pork liver! What an unconventional, hard to find satay. Not many do it, few do it well, and they do it absolutely fantastically! It did not have the signature metallic, disgusting flavour of Liver, but it came through creamy and deliciously charred. Love it! + The sauce was unique. With pineapples blended into it, every dip of the satay captured a bit of the sweet pineapple flesh, that made for an interesting sweet-savoury combo. Love love love! + Service was good. Waiter was proactive in getting us to order. Cashier was also very nice and friendly! + Price was affordable and wallet-friendly. Definitely a must-go while in Melaka. Do NOT miss this spot.

My favourite pork satay for the longest time. Pork is tender and juicy. Sauce taste great. Place is well ventilated. And it's near Jonker. A must place to visit in Melaka. Guaranteed satisfaction. Back at the pork satay place, never miss a trip to this place each time in Melaka. Satay is super with the right amount, not too big not too small. And right amount of fat on each stick. Sauce....it's the best. Pineapple made the difference. Can always request for more if it runs out. Otak otak super too, just like from Muar. Don't have to travel all the way to Muar for great otak otak. A must visit.
