Try Satay in Indonesia

“At many places where you can order satay, they will cook the meat in front of you, on a specially made long grill. There is something very enticing about the smell of grilled chicken or goat in the air! Its aroma can be smelled very far away; and the area is usually filled with smoke as well. Once done, if you are eating it as carry out, the seller will give you your sate and rice/lontong either in a paper wrapper or wrapped in green banana leaves. The fun part is taking it home and unwrapping it like the delicious, mouth watering present it is. [...] I generally prefer my sate served on top of rice so that the peanut sauce can soak into the rice.”

“A week ago I got back to Denmark after two months of travelling around Sumatra, Java, Flores and Komodo. I had a great time but was generally not blown away by the food in Indonesia. This one particular hole-in-the-wall sate (also sometimes called satay) place in Jakarta was absolutely amazing though. So if you ever find yourself in the dreadful city of Jakarta, take a taxi to where Jalan Haji Agus Salim and Jalan Kyai Haji Wahid Hasyim meet for the most tender marinated chicken skewers, perfect peanut sauce, pickled vegetables and ice cold coca cola. And it is dirt cheap too!”
