Satay is a dish wherein meats like chicken, mutton, pork, fish, goat or even tofu are seasoned with spices, skewered and then grilled, generally served with some sauce. These are grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings. Satay originated in Indonesia, and in fact, it has become its national dish. It is also popular in many other Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, the Philippines, as well as in Suriname and the Netherlands, as Indonesia and Suriname are former Dutch Colonies.

And Boy! the chicken was oh so delicious, I couldn’t wait to have a bite as soon as it was out of the oven, the aroma was tantalizing, and that juicy bite was like a party of zesty flavors in my mouth:) So good!!
