This is not a restaurant but only a small takeaway snacks stall, located in the food street of Sau Kei Wan Main Street East. Just beside the park, you won't miss it as the aromas of charcoal and grilled meat could be smelled quite far away. And despite only in this neighborhood for the first time, I had no difficulty finding it.
Already with quite a few people queuing, I ordered four different skewers, one each of pork, chicken, mutton and squid. It took a short while for the chef to prepare, as the skewers were 'reheated' through grilling on charcoal. And frankly I think there is nothing better than grilling by charcoal fire, with a particular aroma and right temperature to keep the meat juicy.
First I tried the lamb, which is nicely marinated and grilled. The satay sauce is also nice though personally I think a stronger peanut flavor and a bit more spicy would make it even more superb. And there is also quite a big piece of fat on the skewer that maybe for some it too fatty.
Next is the pork, again marinated well and the meat is not chewy, with the right tenderness in texture and good taste. Among the three meat skewer this would be my favorite.
The chicken honest speaking is a bit disappointing. It is not bad but just on texture and taste it could not compare with the lamb and pork. But of course it is leaner.
However, the best of the day is the squid. It is grilled perfectly and not having any tough rubbery texture to make your jaw tiring in chewing, but is in fact easy to eat. The tentacles are also nicely done. Really my recommendation among the four.
Not able to have a seat, under a hot summer late afternoon, it is not possible for me to have more. You may want to order takeaway but when it has cooled down it would not be as good also, so that would be a challenge. But still I would recommend you to try if you like satay, and going out to enjoy street food is part of our memories too.
My overall rating is 33/100 (mainly just because of the environment).
