Pang's Satay opened at 5pm and they were already busy with a long list of orders. Here, customers give their orders to the lady boss, pay up, let the boss know their table number, and the lady boss will deliver the satay to the table once it is ready. The Pangs are a friendly couple (we changed orders and changed tables but lady boss graciously accommodated us ๐ ).
The satay were handmade and freshly grilled over charcoal at the stall.
Prices were reasonable.
Four of us, Pang's was the last stop of our whole day makan (food) trail. So we just had 10 pork, 5 pork belly, and 5 chicken satay to taste.
The satay came with peanut sauce with the yellow dollop of grated pineapple which is a signature of Hainanese style satay.
We had ten of this pork satay. The meat was lean but tender, moist and mildly marinated with spices. It was well grilled except for bits of char at the fringes. Sweetish, a bit of toasty taste and smell. Nice.
We had five of this pork belly satay. Juicer and more tender than the lean meat version thanks to the fat. Enjoyed this slightly more (but if you don't like eating fat, the lean version is pretty good actually).
Pang's chicken satay was a pleasant surprise. I normally avoid chicken satay because factory made chicken satay was the absolute worst, basically dry and tasteless. But, I ordered 5, in case the others prefer chicken than pork.
Turned out, Pang's hand made chicken satay was tender, moist and well marinated though the spicing was mild. I enjoyed them.
Pang's is generous with their grated pineapple. The peanut were ground just right (neither too fine nor coarse) and stewed till soft. The spice blend was mild, sweetish. The mild flavours in the thick sauce and satay actually were just right for me, and I appreciate it that I can taste a subtle bit of the pork and chicken's natural sweetness.
It was some good satay ๐
