Selamat Malam! (Good evening in Bahasa)
Today I will share another street food to you that is famous here...and that is, Sate Ayam. As we all know, sate or satay is a dish of marinated, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce (from wikipedia). And as a Filipino I believe we are lovers of skewered food such as barbeque, isaw, etc.
Sate can vary from beef (sate daging). goat (sate kambing) and chicken (sate ayam). It is grilled to perfection and served with peanut sauce. Yes, you heard me right, they serve their satay with peanut sauce and sambal for they are not used to the taste of vinegar. In fact, their local vinegar is 25% edible acetic acid (oh, they don't have fish sauce here too).
Sate can be bought anywhere in the city. But you have to be very careful with where you buy just to be sure that it is safe.

| hello! |
 |
| oh, yummy! |
 |
| peanut sauce..we decided to separate the it in fear of having an upset stomach. |
 |
| our dinner...nasi goreng, mie goreng and sate ayam...the milk is for neutralizing the chili. lol |
Just like the nasi and mie goreng, price depends on where you buy. But the one I bought is 11,000 rupiah for 10 pieces (55 pesos/10 pieces, approx. $1.50 USD). The taste is a little sweet because of the soy sauce they used to brush on the meat as it was grilled.
Sate is not only available in Jakarta. I believe it is available all over indonesia. So if you have plans on going to Bali, make sure you'll try this.
Have a great week ahead!
