Today I had some really GREAT satay at Satay Station (Kg Pandan), but I think they have a few branches with a check with google (info from some bloggers - Kampung Pandan, Ampang Waterfront, Setiawangsa, Mont Kiara).
But the surprising part is, there is no menu. Let me explain - they do not need it.
They serve only satay and mee rebus. And they really do it well. That is real FOCUS. To do few things and to do it well. No overload of choices, no worry of getting the wrong thing. And the mee rebus really blew my mind! It was the best I ever had. IN MY LIFE!
Sedaaaapnye! the sauce is sweetish with a tinge of sour, thickened (my friend suggested it was done with tapioca flour) with small slices of tasty beef, sliced boiled egg, garnished as most places do, but the overall taste is just nice. Kinda pricey at RM 6.90 (if compared to small stalls) and portion of mee is small.
Satay was presented in a small oval tray (about 20 sticks per tray) lined with banana leaf, accopanied with onions, timun (sliced cucumber) and nasi himpit (rice cubes).
The stoves are lined near entrance and you see them work on them when orders are placed.
Price per stick of satay is RM 0.90, skin and lean mix, reasonable size.
the kuah (peanut sauce) was kinda oily, but I suspect I was an early customer and the pot had the upper layer not properly mixed before pouring on serving bowls. Anyway, a sumptious meal and satisfied customers can be seen chomping away before the sky was even dark.
Address : 55 Jalan A, Kampung Pandan, Kuala Lumpur (on right side of MRR2, coming from Cheras / same as Taman Cempaka)
The place is a bit hidden, as it is lined with some houses and trees cover up the front. Just a small signboard and possibly a lot of cars parked outside gives clue.
Seating is open air, some gondolas (some not), 2 little garden (iron) huts and also inside the "house" on mats available with TVs for the cosy-in-a-house feeling.
Verdict in 1 line : Pricey but satisfying, deliciously 2 thumbs up !
And must try Mee Rebus!!
