Best Satays in KL

Written by Updated ago

Celup-celup bersama! Translated to English, it means, Let’s dip together! Satay or also originally and popularly known as sate, has been an iconic Malay dish that’s mainly comprised of just one ingredient; seasoned meat! Most satay meat is smothered with turmeric powder and grilled on charcoal until it’s fully cooked, some are burnt until the skin is dark and that’s where the smokey taste comes from! Impress your friends and family, especially the ones living abroad coming back for a holiday, to some of Kuala Lumpur’s best satay around!

    With 5 branches under their belt, Ole Ole Bali is burnin’ in the local food scene! With a comfortable, air-conditioned environment and a variety of fried and spicy local treats, why not? Their satay here is different from the regular satay outside because instead of using the conventional chicken or beef meat, seafood paste is used for Ole Ole Bali’s satay. Yes, seafood paste. It may sound unappealing to some but it’s actually really good! Lemongrass is used as a stick for their satay and it’s fragrant together with the smokey and savoury seafood paste.
