Charcoal satay in Kampong Glam that smells like the weekend

There’s nothing like the smell of charcoal satay drifting through Kampong Glam in the evening. These skewers are grilled over real coals, so the edges char while the centre stays juicy.

The peanut sauce is the make-or-break and theirs has genuine depth — roasted, a little sweet, a little spicy, with enough texture to coat. The ketupat soaks it up perfectly.

Order in tens, not fives; you’ll regret being conservative. Best enjoyed outdoors as the sun goes down.
