Cengkerang Seafood Jumble is a Halal-certified seafood restaurant located at No 10, Jalan KLJ 1A in Taman Kota Laksamana Jaya, a residential neighbourhood in central Melaka. Founded in 2016, the restaurant is known for its shellout dining style, where cooked seafood is spread directly on the table surface for diners to enjoy with their bare hands — a communal, hands-on eating experience popular across Malaysia.
The menu focuses on fresh seafood prepared in both Western and Eastern styles, with offerings typically including crab, prawns, clams, and squid tossed in sauces ranging from butter garlic to sweet chilli and the signature cengkerang spice blend. The shellout platters are designed for sharing, making the restaurant a popular choice for group gatherings and family meals.
The restaurant operates from 1pm to 11pm daily. Pricing is moderate, reflecting the use of fresh seafood. Its location in Taman Kota Laksamana Jaya is a short distance from the tourist belt, so the clientele is a mix of locals and in-the-know visitors. The informal, convivial atmosphere is part of the appeal, though those preferring a quieter setting may find the shellout style inherently lively.
