If you love satay, do check out Kwong Satay in Geylang. They make their own satay in their own production facility in Bukit Batok but everything is in their own style - satay, ketupat (rice cake) and all else. Kwong supply raw satay wholesale and retail, and serves it at their own satay stall in Lor 27A Geylang.
Ah Kuen grills their own satay over charcoal fire at their Geylang coffee shop hawker stall. He has over 40 years experience running this stall.
Six of us, we had two sets of pork belly, pork, chicken and mutton satay. (Photo of one set.) Each of us paid S$10.
We have been here a few times before, so we zeroed in on their famous, our favourite pork belly satay 五花肉沙爹 🤭
It costs S$1.60 each but it was worth it as it is bigger, I mean longer than the usual pork or chicken satay.
Flat and spread wide, the satay reminded me of grilled squid in form.
The chargrilled satay were gleaming with grease, caramelised marinade, and well browned with spots of char.
The pork belly slices were relatively thin, alternating fat and meat, so it was juicy and tender chewy. In the mouth, it was a blend of juicy, soft, tender textures with savoury, sweet and gentle, light spice flavours.
Interesting and quite different from the famous Ah Pui pork satay during its heyday.
The satay sauce was nutty, relatively fine, gently spicy, savoury, sweet. There's pineapple puree in the sauce true to Hainanese style though its presence was quite subtle. The sauce complements not overpower the satay's gentle flavours.
Kwong also make their own ketupat (boiled rice cakes in palm leaf bundle). Mildly sweet, tender firm, just the right firmness and moistness. We liked it so much that we ordered extra.
