| chicken satay, spicy peanut gravy and piping hot teh 'o' (tea sans creamer) |
Monsoon
season is here in Malaysia. It’s been rainning everyday in Kuala Lumpur and else
where in the Peninsular Malaysia. In Kuala Lumpur, it started to rain in the
afternoon till late evening and during the night. The meteorological department
predicted rains till end of November. Traffic in Kuala Lumpur is chaotic especially
during week days and flash floods everywhere.
In
these weather conditions, finding place to eat out is not easy since these places
do not have a covered car park and one have to brave the heavy rainfall. My choice
was limited to shopping center such as the Suria, KLCC. I was craving for the delicious mouth
watering satay for days. However, sate stalls were usually in a street stall
environment and not in an enclosed shopping center.
At
last, after much hesitation, I decided to brave the rain. I drove myself to one
of my latest hawkers’ food court choice at Taman AU Keramat. Immediately setting foot into the satay stall,
Sri Melaka, it rains heavily! Safe and dry, I ordered my skewered
bbq-ed meat.
The
chicken satay was served with spicy peanut sauce dip or peanut gravy, slices of
onions and cucumber and cubed ketupat (rice
cooked wrapped in coconut leaves). M and I ordered hot black tea to warm
ourselves since we were practically chilled to the bone!
The
chicken satay meat were chewy and juicy, though not the best. The chicken pieces were quite large and had a distinctive aroma of grass lemon.The best satay is
at my favorite joints in Ampang Jaya, but that is another story. Sri Melaka’s
satay is palatable to my taste but there were pieces fatty skin in between the
lean meat.
However
my satay craving is being satiates. I give a 7 for the satay and the
atmosphere. Value for money an 8 on Acepaizah scale. And satisfying my satay
craving during the heavy monsoon season, well certainly a 9!
