7. Kwong Satay

Introduction:

Kwong Satay traces its roots to the 1960s when the grandfather of Mr. Wong Chee Kwong peddled satay from a trishaw around the Katong area. Two decades later, Mr. Wong Chee Kwong continued the family tradition when he started selling satay at Lorong 29 Geylang, which is now our flagship stall. As the business grew, Mr. Wong expanded into the manufacturing and wholesale distribution of satay, satay sauce and ketupat (satay rice cake) at Bukit Batok Crescent, Enterprise Centre and Kwong Satay counts more than a dozen hawker stalls and eateries in Singapore among our regular clients now.

Today, into its fourth generation, Kwong Satay proudly continues this heritage with no changes to the original recipe. Which is what makes our satay outstanding – the use of our original Hainanese recipe, in both our satay marinate and sauce. A traditional favourite through the decades is our signature pork loin satay and equally popular are our chicken, mutton, beef as well as pork belly satay.

Introduction: Satay Guan is one of the hidden gems in Whampoa Makan Place.

A popular supper spot, Satay Guan is one of the hidden gems in Whampoa Makan Place. Despite the lack of a long queue, their satays are in high demand with the two ladies turning over orders as quick as every couple minutes. You don’t need to wait long for piping hot satay here! The peanut sauce served alongside the satay is the perfect accompaniment. It’s creamy, slightly sweet, and has a subtle nutty flavor that complements the meat perfectly.

Their satays are well marinated before being grilled on the charcoal. The best is the pork satay, which comes with juicy chunks of fat skewered in between tender pieces of pork. When dipped into the peanut sauce, every bite is flavourful. The chicken satay is slightly less punchier probably due to the absence of fat, but just as tender. Satay Guan’s honey glazing is on the sweeter side, and balances well with the slightly charred meats.
