If you visit Singapore, "Lao Pa Sat" is somewhere you should go to try out the many kinds of food Singapore has to offer.
During the night, one street next to this food place is closed and converted into an open air sitting area, and hawkers will sell Satay on this street.
Satay are marinated skewered meat, barbequed over charcoal fire. I tell you, it's really delicious. (one of my favourite food too!)
Friends and I ordered this and we ordered 60 sticks of it.
From hear-say, the word Satay originated because the local chinese settlers saw the local malays prepare this dish long long ago. But they did not know how to call it. But as there are always 3 pieces of meat skewered, they call it 'sa tay', which in the hokkien dialect means three pieces. So there you go... That's one version of how people think the name originated.
Normally I do not particularly care for photos of food, but this one is wonderful--looks scrumptious!

ReplyDeletehabis! if the malays nowadays realised it's really a hokkien word...jangjangjang!!!
ReplyDeleteSingapore/Malaysian foods are wonderful...but I must say those stalls at Lao Pat Sat are a bit more expensive than other food stalls.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That looks so very tasty! Im now really jealous. Here in Poland we can't get satay anywhere...and I just love a real good satay! Thanks for entering our competition over at Toruń Daily Photo. Better luck next time!
ReplyDeleteSatay is one of my favourite...
ReplyDeleteI also like it if the gravy goes with some pineapple sauce. Next week must go for satay! Yum yum.
