Satays are small pieces of meat usually chicken, placed on skewers made from bamboo sticks and barbecued to order over charcoal fire.

Served with cut onion, sliced cucumber and peanut sauce on a separate dish for dipping, Satays make a perfect meal accompaniment, as snacks or simply on it own.

A good Satay vendor not only offers authentic char grilled meet but a thick peanut sauce made with crushed roasted peanuts and spices.

Other barbecue meats are available to order where offered are beef, pork or intestines with the later being a kind of delicacy.

Don’t be afraid to ask for more peanut sauce if you run out, the vendors are more than happy to replenish your bowl.

Try dipping your cucumber and cut onion in the peanut sauce, the challenge would be to fetch as much sauce on your Satay, cucumber or onion as you can.
