In a Facebook post on Tuesday, 28 September, the popular tourist spot announced that they will be shutting down within the next two months.

However, they said they will still be open for dine-in with strict standard operating procedures (SOPs) until further notice.

They apologised for any shortcomings and also thanked customers for all their support through the years.

The business started on the back of a tricycle before they opened the current shop on Lorong Bukit China that tourists from all over have come to know.

According to China Press, the owners said they have decided to close the shop due to the sharp decline in customers for the last year during the pandemic, even citing one day with completely zero transactions.

Coupled with less income, increased rent, and expensive material prices, they said it was time to close the family business.

They serve satay celup — or, as locals say, lok-lok — with a wide selection of fresh seafood, vegetables, meat, and fishballs to dip into their signature satay sauce.

Unlike other local satay celup joints, they also draw in tourists by serving premium ingredients such as scallops, tiger prawns, and abalone.

If you'd like to visit the shop in their last two months, here are their details:

Address:
41, Lorong Bukit Cina, Bandar Hilir, 75100 Melaka.

Operating hours:
4pm - 11pm (Tuesdays to Saturdays)
