This is a memorable dinning experience for me because this was our first time trying their satay out after reading the reviews on Openrice Singapore. There are quite a few media clippings on display, too. And so, we somewhat expected it to be good. We were there at about 3.30 pm on a weekday. We were given the option to choose in between the chicken, the pork and the mutton. Each stick is 0.50 cents. We decided to go for 10 sticks of chicken and another 10 sticks of pork together with a Ketupat
We were there at about 3.30 pm on a weekday. We were given the option to choose in between the chicken, the pork and the mutton. Each stick is 0.50 cents. We decided to go for 10 sticks of chicken and another 10 sticks of pork together with a Ketupat (rice cake). I requested to pack my order separately as i wanted to share them with my Grandpa. I was asked us to come back in a bit while they prepared it.
It was all packed and ready when i gotten back in 10 minutes. It was packed separately and put it in different plastic bag. Good job.
I gotta agree with the earlier reviews given about the quality of their satay. Every chunk of marinated meat was skewered through the wooden stick together with a piece of fat to ensure it has gotten enough oil to keep it from over burnt. Though both chicken and pork tasted good but if i have gotta make a choice then i would choose chicken over the pork. The texture of the pork was a little tougher as compared to the chicken. Both were well marinated and nicely barbecued to give it the charred surface but not over burnt and to retain its tenderness.
I wish the cucumber pieces were in bigger and chunky pieces rather than sliced into thin slices and it did not have the nice crunchiness that i liked.
The satay gravy was a little disappointing. It was a little diluted but have gotten the nice sweetness derived from the pineapple puree with a nice peanut fragrance. It might looked towards bright red in color but the spiciness is very much well-controlled.
This is a pretty good choice for satay though it is not the best to me.
