As a Malaysian, that charred stick of meat dipped into hot and “peanuty” sauce is definitely what we all would love to have. It is one of our signature dishes, even comparable to the likes of nasi lemak, char kuay teow or many other famous Malaysian cuisines. Satay is definitely high up on that list. Even though you are just a visitor to Malaysia, you would have probably heard of satay when you think of what to eat. Here is the list of satay restaurants that Malaysians know and love!
1. Sate Kajang Haji Samuri
Sate Kajang has been a very famous satay stop for Malaysians for more than a decade. Their satay varies from chicken, beef, beef tripe, lamb, chicken liver, fish, mutton, rabbit and also the usual side dish of ketupat.
Well. How could a satay be perfect without its buddy, the dipping sauce?! That scrumptious, filling and flavourful sauce is just icing on the cake. You could add a splash of sambal (chili) on the sauce to increase the spiciness as well.
