Then the Satay

For the second year running, satay was on the menu for Raya. We again bought the satay from Satay Sri Melaka at Keramat.

Anita made the booking last week. So, yesterday, we just turned up to pick up the order. By the time we arrived at the stall, the satay were already lined up. All we needed to do was to bring the receipt, and pick up the satay. No sweat!

Satay Seri Melaka

My Mum told me about this satay stall in Keramat which took orders and supply satay to party at reasonable price, and more importantly good tasting satay. We decided to try. And Anita was impressed enough that she ordered a whole lot of it for the Raya open house at her Mum's place.

The stall was called Satay Sri Melaka. They operate from their regular stall at AU5, complete with a long grill equipped with fans.

We had to pre-order and picked up the satay the afternoon before. Then we quickly froze them and reheat them in batches today for the visitors. I didn't wait long and actually had some for berbuka last night.

They were quite dear at 90 sen a stick, but compared to the cheaper imitations, it was well worth it. The peanut sauce which cane with them were also heavenly. Great combination. Much better than their Kajang btethrens who were usually overhyped, if not overpriced. No need to travel to Kajang when you could get satay this good just round the corner.

Our lotWhen we arrived to pick up our order, we saw the satay already prepared in packages across a long table at the stall, all labeled with the buyers details. We soon got our order just by showing our receipts. No messing about.

I don't think that they had any branches elsewhere. If you were interested to visit, the stall would be along a Medan Selera area next to the AU5 Multipurpose Hall. If you were from MRR2, by taking the Jalan Keramat heading to Taman Permata, the stall would be on your left hand side right after the hall.

Alternatively, just punch these coordinates into your GPS.

To Kajang

Since the weekend, my Mum had been staying with my Sister in Kajang. She seemed to be doing OK although still a bit tired at times. She was still used to the idea of taking regular medications. My brother-in-law had also bought her monitoring equipment for her sugar and blood pressure.

So, earlier tonight, we headed off to Kajang to visit her and my sister. We had dinner there, and hung around for a bit. A Shane that tomorrow would be a school day and the children needed to go to bed. Otherwise I would have hung around there a bit longer.

With me traveling to Italy next week, I stocked up my Mum's medications for the duration. She had problem with low sugar, and she felt better when we cut down the dose of some of her tablets. She could do with eating a bit more than she was doing now.

Tandoori and Satay

Just finished the evening rounds, and as United would be playing tonight, I would have to order some Tandoori and satay. Ordered. And I had the time to catch one admission in between.

Next would be the drive home, and traffic on Sunday evening can be a bit of a pain, especially after a public holiday.

Got my fingers crossed for the match tonight. We really needed Newcastle to do us a favour. Come on Papiss Cisse!

Satay at Kajang

Since we went to Kajang yesterday to visit my sister - she has since moved to Kajang a few months back upon her husband taking up a job at a private Medical Center there - it was customary to have some satay. She promised me the best meal in town, and it was quite near my brother-in-law's hospital. A small little shop ran by a middle-aged couple.

The main specialty of the shop was satay made from the intestines - we called it perut. It was cut thin and had the fat all trimmed off. Unfortunately, it was not very nice and according to my sister, it may have been because of the marinate. It certainly was rather bland, a dash of salt could have done wonder. The peanut sauce however was very nice, and it came with some sambal for extra kick.

To be honest I was expecting something since Kajang was famous for its satay. Maybe, I should give my sister and the shop the benefit of the doubt and give it another try.
