Street food Satay — the authentic version

The best Satay I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The fragrant and aromatic intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. pandan was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

Penang is considered the food capital of Malaysia and rivals Singapore for hawker excellence. The a mamak 24-hour restaurant setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. Milo was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
