Halal Food in Original Alhambra Satay (#01-02)

Original Alhambra Satay stands as the sole survivor of Singapore legendary Satay Club, carrying forward a culinary heritage that traces back to the original Beach Road location. Now in its second generation under the stewardship of Saiful bin Haji Juwahir, 71, this Muslim-owned, halal-certified establishment continues to make satay the traditional way, preserving techniques and flavours that have largely disappeared from the modern Singapore food scene. The stall operates multiple strategic locations across the island, including the Geylang Serai Market and Food Centre outlet at 1 Geylang Serai Unit 02-145, a Circuit Road location at 79 Circuit Road Unit 01-02, and a presence at the atmospheric Lau Pa Sat Satay Street at 18 Raffles Quay Stall 3. Each location brings the same commitment to original-style Indonesian satay preparation that made the Satay Club famous decades ago, with skewers grilled over charcoal and served with the traditional accompaniments of ketupat, cucumber, onions, and peanut sauce. As a halal stall serving the Muslim community and satay enthusiasts alike, Original Alhambra Satay represents a living link to Singapore hawker heritage. While customer reviews vary, with some praising the authentic preparation methods and traditional flavours while others note occasional inconsistencies, the restaurant historical significance and continued adherence to time-honoured cooking techniques make it a meaningful part of Singapore culinary landscape. The survival of this stall serves as a reminder of the once-thriving Satay Club scene that defined a chapter in the nation food story.
