Best Satays in Penang

Overlooking the sea and serving fresh seafood, Ocean Green Restaurant has remained one of the best seafood restaurants in Penang spanning three decades. Predominantly serving up ocean goodness, yet their satay is amazing. There’s never a need to dip into the sauce; just devour straightaway! With succulent chunks of marinated meat grilled together with their treacly peanut sauce over a charcoal flame; paired with sliced onions and cucumbers, it’s hard to stop once you start!

If chicken and lamb satay sound mundane, how about horse, deer and seafood satay? Ah Basri prides itself in patronising meat-lovers with their eclectic (and exotic) choices of satay. Each skewer tickles your palate with various textures and tastes - it's best to play a game of 'guess the meat'. Serving savoury lean meats paired with a thick peanut gravy and their praiseworthy homemade chilli sauce, it would be close to crime if you leave without trying their remarkable squid satay.

Being the culinary capital of Malaysia, the Pearl of the Orient is blessed with plenty of enticing street foods, where the lively atmosphere allures you straight away. New Lane Hawker Center is among them and you’ll definitely be overwhelmed with jam-packed hawker stalls, yet never leave your table without tasting the succulent satay of Aunty Satay. Offering selections of pork, chicken, liver and intestine, all meats are grilled to a delicate balance of smoky and savoury flavours with a unique aftertaste of coconut and turmeric.
