Wowza! Almost 5 months without a single food review! I've been pretty busy (ok...sorry for using the same excuse again and again....). Well, actually.....I've been lazy, plus, my harddisk crashed, so all the food pictures were gone *sob*.
Ya know, it's not easy to take those photos, 'coz you need to act like a paparazzi and keep snapping till you get the best shots. Sometimes, you're mistaken for a spy, and you get dirty, suspicious looks from people. Or even worse, your hungry friends get impatient and hostile when you forbid them to touch the food before you snap a photo of it. And while you're so engrossed with taking pictures, they quietly finish the (your) food without you noticing. So, it's not an easy task.
Anyway, to make up for the past 5 months of snoozefest on this blog, I'm gonna be talking about..... satays! *squeeeeeal*
Ever heard of friends telling you how fanatical they were, driving all the way to Kajang just to try the satays there? Well, here's a piece of good news, because they've shipped a shop-load of Kajang satays to Damansara Uptown, PJ! If you know where HSBC is, just drive on to the next row of shops. You'll see a a signboard in yellow with the shop name Restoran Sate Kajang Hj Samuri (No. 79, Jalan 21/37). Here's a picture of it. (Actually, I'm embarassed to show this picture. It's too blurry. But, for the sake of all satay lovers, I will post it here)

See, I told you it was a horrible picture.
I fail at paparaz-zing
Here's a clearer signboard inside the restaurant
(Again, the reflection of the light somewhat ruined the picture)
When I was there, it was almost 9pm, and many people were already in the shop. It looks simple and cosy, and you could actually see the customers totally enjoying their food.
Dude in white makes me wanna go to the shop, like, pronto!
They have a variety of satay meats, such as chicken, beef, beef stripes, chicken liver and fish. All these are priced at RM0.60 per stick. There are three more exotic meats such as rabbit, venison and mutton. These three are slightly pricey. I wasn't really adventurous I guess, and while I was there, the meats were all sold out with only chicken and beef left. So we ordered 10 sticks of chicken satay and 10 sticks of beef satay. They also serve other food such as fried rice, mee, bee hoon/kueh teow at a very reasonable price (from RM3.00 onwards!)
I was delighted to see a big bowl of satay sauce (or known as kuah) and a smaller bowl of sambal served seperately. The satay sauce is a pure mixture of peanuts and pleasure, and the sambal is to be added into the satay sauce to bring out the flavour and give a tingle of excitement.
Going nuts over the satay sauce!
Sambalicious
Then comes the plate of cucumbers and nasi impit. Dip them into the satay sauce + sambal to enjoy the sheer joy of spicy peanut taste.
Nasi impit yum yum
Just as I was happily savouring every drop of peanut sauce, the highlight of the night arrived. I couldn't even begin how thrilled I was and my tummy was screaming for attention. The satays were a feast to the eyes and looked much bigger than I thought.
Great sataysfaction!!!
I took a bite of the chicken satay and boyyyyyyyyy, fireworkksss~!! The meat was soft, delicious and the taste just penetrated into every inch of my tastebud! And when you dip it into the sauce, it adds more flavour to the satay. However, the beef satays were a bit tougher and bland. I didn't like it. But all was well, 'coz the chicken satay made up for the flaw in the beef meat. Va-va-voom!!
Ok, enough said (sorry my laziness is kicking in again). Nothing beats trying the real thing than just sitting down reading a food review and fatasizing about the taste!
