Bad satay. The meat is tough and not charred. The sauce is watery and bland. There's no buzzer system - they will ask you to come back in 15 minutes.

It's pretty good, fragrant and tasty. Enough spices in the satay marinade. Unfortunately, they left out the ketupat from my takeaway order. I should have checked the package on the spot to avoid being shortchanged. I believe it was just honest negligence.

The food was horrible! I got the Ayam Penyet and the BBQ wings. For the Ayam Penyet, I was given the fried thigh piece (supposedly the juiciest part of a chicken), and my oh my, it was drier than the Sahara Desert. I never knew a chicken could be used as 40-grit sandpaper. The BBQ wings, on the other hand, were unevenly cooked. It was as if the chef felt bad for the dead chicken and wanted its half-cooked soul to rest between the crevices of my teeth.

The 10 sticks of satay I ordered were less than mediocre, and the service was beyond bad and poor. The female server wearing spectacles should not operate a stall as she does not have basic manners and cannot even reply courteously. When I requested an extra bowl of peanut sauce for my friend, since I was only given one bowl, she gave an angry and stern side-eye, as if I had asked for her entire pot of sauce. She then rudely handed me less than a quarter of a small bowl of sauce. This is a reflection of how mean this server is.

Ordered chicken wings and the first bite was really disgusting. The chicken tasted sour. I didn't even finish the flesh and decided to throw it all away.

Overall fantastic satay. Chicken - tender and sweet. Mutton (Best imo) - extremely tender and tasty.
Overall fantastic satay. The chicken was tender and sweet. The mutton (best in my opinion) was extremely tender and tasty. The beef was as tender as the chicken.
The peanut sauce was a tad too sweet, but its consistency was good. There were plentiful peanuts.

The best mutton satay in Adam Road. I don't understand why someone rated 1 star for their minimum order policy; it's already written on their sign board menu. I always order their satay because they are delicious. I hope people can rate their food rather than not accommodating requests for smaller orders. 5 stars for me any day!
