Popular Malay Satay in Singapore

What to try in Singapore, what delicacies to look for on the city streets and in restaurants? What food will arouse a storm of emotions and will be dreaming of long winter nights after arriving home? Today it’s all about the national Malay cuisine, where to eat good food and stay alive and healthy.

There aren’t many authentic Malay dishes. But the great thing about Malaysia is that you can try dishes from different Asian cuisines without having to leave one block. Malaysia is a multicultural country. Immigrants from China, India, Thailand, and Indonesia have lived here for almost a century. Each nation has put a piece of its own into Malay cuisine. Sometimes it’s hard to tell how a Malay curry with galangana, kafir lime and chili paste is different from a Thai curry or a Malay Laksa soup from a Chinese version. But you can also try the best Malay dishes in Singapore.

Satay Street Barbecue

Satay is pieces of vegetables, mushrooms, seafood, meat, or frog legs strung on wooden skewers. Satay is sold on large trays in street cafes or restaurants.

Malay Cuisine

The visitor chooses the skewers whose contents he would like to eat and goes to his table. There a large pot of boiling broth is already prepared. A gas burner, which heats the container, stands directly under the table. Visitors cook their own satay in the broth and immediately eat it hot. If you want, you can ask the chef to grill the satay over charcoal. I think it tastes better that way. There are usually several sauces served with satay. I prefer the sweet and sour peanut sauce.
