Nostalgic appetites are sated at this unassuming smoke-filled eatery—arguably the city’s best peddler of Surabaya-style coconut-marinated satay. If you ever need instant lessons in staying power, look no further than this stalwart of nearly three decades that seem to be going from strength to strength.
True to its rep, the satay does pack a punch, and so does the requisite peanut sauce. There is also a certain pleasure in watching the garlic, turmeric and coriander-laced little beauties being grilled outside on the verandah while you sit back at dusk while enjoying a glass of iced tea.
