THE GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE IN SULTAN SALAI IN ALOR GAJAH, MELAKA

  17th OCTOBER 2026   ~ Before checking in at the hotel and attending the wedding reception [READ HERE], we stopped for lunch at a restaurant at Simpang Ampat, Alor Gajah. The place is called Sultan Salai, which seemed to a popular eating place.

an uphill task

We arrived slightly earlier than other people so there was no queue and there was no problem finding a table.

The specialty of this place was Masak Lemak - everything cooked in coconut milk gravy.

We had Grilled [Giant] Squid, Beef Masak Lemak, cabbage and fried egg in soy sauce. Honest unpaid review: I loved all the food chosen.
