Life is ExCitiNg: Kajang Satay

Two Saturdays ago, we drove to Kajang to have the ever famous satay there. We have been planning to go since January but could never fit it in our schedule somehow until then. It was, in a way, to celebrate my dad's birthday (not the real celebration as we will do the proper celebration this Friday together with Jess' birthday) and also to meet up with Siaw Ching, a lovely girl that my mum used to babysit when she was borned back in Kuching some 18 to 20 years ago! She is studying in KL now and it was good to be able to catch up with her.

We were at Kajang about 6:30pm and the restaurant was starting to get busy. We could see the 'satay man' BBQ-ing the satay over the fiery coal pit and the smell was tantalising. But with the free smell, comes the smell of smoke on your shirt and hair.

You may be wondering what is so special about Kajang satay (meat on stick)? Well, for starters, these satay are huge i.e. lots of meat on it. They do not skim on the meat here unlike most satay stalls I know back in Miri. It costs about RM 0.60 per stick. They do not only have chicken and beef but also mutton and duck... yes, duck meat satay, believe it or not (or maybe it is just me never seeing duck satay before)! Overall, we still prefer the chicken satay. One other unique thing which makes satay special is the peanut sauce. The one we had in Kajang was special in that they put sambal in it! This combination of the peanut sauce with sambal is to die for!

We enjoyed our satay eating binge at Kajang but we also learnt a trick. When you order satay there, please insist on 'fresh' satay. If this is not specified, the owner will give you satay that has been BBQ earlier on... so it may not be as tasty! Here are some pics of the satay we had... drooling already?
