When I was exploring Pasir Gudang, I came across this Satay Place. As it has been quite awhile since I had Satay, I thought I'd give it a try. Ordered 2 of each Flavour. Quite a Large Eatery, it is Non-Airconditioned but Airy and Cooling.

Renovated in a Classic Malay-Styled Furnishings, the Staffs are Polite and Reserved. It was relatively quiet on a Weekday at 4.00pm when I visited. It took 2 Mins for the Durian Belanda, 3 Mins for First 8 Sticks and finally 5 Mins for the Rest. Everything was served up within 5 Mins.

Durian Belanda (Ice) = RM5.00

Ordered this because I was intrigued that a Durian Drink would cost only RM5.00? Served in a Decent Cup, the Top Layer is actually just Plain Water and the Bottom Layer actually isn't Durian but rather a Very Sweet Sourish Soursop Fruit Pulp? 

No idea why they named it Durian. Mixing everything up produces a Sweet Drink that also sorta taste like Lychee? Really sweet, basically like drinking a Fruit Syrup Water.



And now we come to the Main Star of the Show: The Satays


Quality of the Satay Sauce

Finely Blended, this was not the Chunky Type although there are occasionally some pieces. Its a Sweet Tasting type of Satay Sauce and not Spicy at all. Not Bad Tasting for a Non-Spicy Peanuty Sweet type of Satay Sauce.

Satay Ayam (Chicken)

Probably one of the Biggest Fat Chunk of Satay I've ever seen. Its made of Thigh Meat and marinated sweetish with Clumps of Fat and Skin on it. That said, I felt the Marinade is a Tad Much though as I could hardly taste any Original Taste of Chicken. If you like a Sweetish type of Satay, I reckon you'll probably have no issues with this.

Satay Daging Pinang Ada Lemak

First Time encountering such a Description for Satay, it basically translates to "This Beef has Fat" or "Fatty Beef"? And indeed it does with a Piece of Fat Chunk right in the Middle.

Also marinated sweet, I did taste a Slight Beefiness in this one. Also Chonky in Size, it was Juicy. The Fat Part is more Firm and Rubbery though, not the Melt in Mouth type.  Not bad for Fattier Beef Satay.

Satay Daging Pinang Tiada Lemak

Basically the Above Version but with Lesser Fat, More Pure Beef. Sweetish, Big and Juicy.

Satay Lemak Lembu

Hahaha this one is the Most Unique of all, jitao 100% Pure Fat, No Meat. Hahaha this is my first time seeing a Satay consisting of NOTHING but Pure Fat. As expected, it is as Rubbery and Firmish as the Earlier Types I described, but I did get 1 piece of Fat that I'd describe as "A Meat Pocket that Burst Forth with Clean Liquid Fat" when I chewed. OMG this piece was so good! If only the rest of the Sticks were like this!

One thing though, among all the Satays, I thought this variation was the one that was Noticeably More Charred. Perfectly Understandable because it is 100% Fat and can be challenging to control the Fire for this. Trying this is more for the Experience actually, its pretty Hardcore to have a Satay that's nothing but 100% Pure Beef Fat.

Satay Kambing (Mutton)

Classic Mutton Satay Taste, Not Very Gamey, quite mild actually. Also using the Same Sweet Marinade but I liked that this one was Slightly Less Sweet than the others. Very Decent Quality for a Classic Mutton Satay.

Satay Babat

Babat means Beef Tripe. Of all the Pieces, this is the one that is the Most Gamey. It has an Unusual Gummy Sticky Texture. Personally I don't really like this one. Its too overly Gamey for me and quite Jelak too.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At the Price of RM5.00 (S$1.60) for the Durian Belanda Drink, this one felt abit Cheat Feeling because its actually Soursop, not Durian. But that's to be expected given the Price. I just don't know why its named Durian though. Very Sweet Soursop Drink, it is what it is.

For all the Satays, price ranging from RM1.00 (S$0.40) for the Most Affordable to RM2.50 (S$0.80) for the Most Expensive I thought they were Reasonably Priced. What I particularly liked is that the Satay Meat were Quite Big and Fat. Actually come to think of it, they look More like Japanese Yakitoris than Satays. Definitely Not Stingy with the Meats, you are most definitely not going to find this Much Meat in Singapore Satays and certainly not at this Price.

The Satays here are all the Classic Sweetish Marinated type, which although isn't the type of Satay I like, I reckon most people should have no issues with it. My Preference is the More 原汁原味 Satay from Warung Boyan (Kubur Cina) in Larkin that I reviewed previously. (Hahaha Satays next to a Chinese Cemetery!!)

What is Unique here is actually their 100% Pure Fat "Satay Lemak Lembu" because this is the 1st time I've ever seen a Satay that does it this way. Its a Pity that other than the 1 Super Sinful Melt in Mouth Piece I had, the Rest of the the Fat was more Firm and Rubbery. I wish they were ALL the 一咬就破 Oily Liquid Gold type.


Don't let my Average Score deter you from this Place. Overall I have no issues. Service was Decent and Friendly. I wouldn't call this a Die Die Must Come Place especially it being located all the way in Pasir Gudang, but I certainly appreciate how Generous they were with the Amount of Meat given. 

If you are craving for Classic Sweetish Type of Satays in Pasir Gudang, I certainly have no issues recommending this place to try. Hahaha their 100% Beef Fat Satay is certainly something interesting I've never tasted before.
