Satay Obek operates as a halal satay specialist at Bedok Food Centre (Bedok Corner), located at 1 Bedok Road #01-19, serving the eastern Singapore community since 1993. This long-established stall has built a loyal following over three decades by consistently delivering quality grilled skewered meats in the traditional halal style that Southeast Asian communities cherish. The stall operates within one of Singapore's most comprehensive halal food centres, where multiple Muslim-owned establishments like Malek Satay and Satay Solo create a vibrant ecosystem of authentic Malay and Muslim cuisine options for the diverse Bedok population.
The restaurant specializes in both mutton and chicken satay, with their mutton satay being particularly notable for its herb-infused preparation that creates tender, flavorful meat without the gamey taste that sometimes characterizes mutton dishes. Their chicken satay, while more traditional in preparation, provides a reliable option for diners seeking the classic satay experience. The stall employs a modern pager system that ensures efficient service with waiting times typically under ten minutes, demonstrating their commitment to combining traditional cooking methods with contemporary customer service practices. Each order is carefully grilled to achieve the perfect balance of smoky char and juicy interior that defines exceptional satay.
Satay Obek's three-decade presence at Bedok Food Centre reflects the enduring appeal of well-executed traditional foods in Singapore's hawker culture, where consistency and authenticity are valued above trendy innovations. The stall serves a diverse clientele ranging from longtime Bedok residents to office workers and visitors drawn to the area's reputation for quality halal dining options. As part of the broader Bedok Corner food centre ecosystem, Satay Obek contributes to maintaining the cultural significance of communal dining spaces where different communities gather to enjoy affordable, authentic local cuisine, ensuring that traditional satay preparation methods continue to thrive in modern Singapore.
The old man here takes joy in being rude and weird to his customers. Understand that the other young
The older gentleman here seems to take pleasure in being rude and peculiar towards his customers. I understand the younger staff member is busy with online orders and doesn't have time to address his attitude. Consequently, I waited for a while but was never served. I suggest considering the stall two stalls away instead (Ayam Penyet No.1). The Satay Solo hawkers clearly don't need our business.

The best Nasi Ambeng takeout I ever encountered in Singapore ~ generous serving, freshly cooked deli
The best Nasi Ambeng takeout I've ever encountered in Singapore. It has generous servings, freshly cooked, delicious, and authentic dishes served on a pretty and classic dulang (tray). Best of all, the pricing is very reasonable! It's way better and cheaper than Hajah Maimunah's version. The stall seller is honest too! Highly recommended for Nasi Ambeng!

Came by for an early lunch. Was attracted by how the paru-paru looked and decided to order their Nasi Rawon. The plate came with sambal sotong, paru, bergedil, and serunding. The sambal sotong was well cooked, and the paru (lungs) was the highlight for me. Most paru comes dry and tough, but here, it was chewy and slightly moist, well-marinated, and very flavourful. To my surprise, the bergedil was served warm, with the outer crust even slightly crisp. Definitely will be back.

Sedapness depends on one's tastebuds; some like it with a lot of MSG, while others are sensitive. However, if you're worried about health and leading a healthy lifestyle, then this might not be for you.
Nicely marinated mutton pieces, arranged with alternate rows of succulent fatty parts, show that the owner cares about making good satay. There's a generous amount of turmeric and halbas marinade. Grilled to perfection with charred burnt proteins, nothing beats satay solo (when eaten right off the griller). The mutton is less sweet than before and it was delicious.
Sometimes, temperatures can run high due to the long list of orders, with staff facing heat in a small cubicle. So, spare some thought or just skip if you're in a rush. Hawkers are mere mortals, like you and me at work.
Weekend waits can be up to 45 minutes, which the pakcik will let you know upfront before you place your order. (Usually, other stalls are the same, so why not satay solo instead?)
Be kind.

The satay packs a punch of flavor. From the moment you take a bite, the spices tell the whole story. The blend of turmeric, coriander, cumin, and lemongrass in the marinade creates a perfect balance of warmth, earthiness, and a subtle zing, while the hint of sweetness brings a rich depth to each skewer. Grilled to perfection, the meat takes on a smoky, charred finish that complements the spices beautifully. If you enjoy satay with bold, aromatic profiles, it is a must-try. The spices truly say it all, elevating this dish to something unforgettable.

I have had the Nasi Lemak here and the Nasi Jenganan($8), as well as the rendang and the brinjal.

I have had the Nasi Lemak here and the Nasi Jenganan ($8), as well as the rendang and the brinjal.
The Nasi Lemak was quite underwhelming and the only blemish.
I loved the Nasi Jenganan, though. The rendang was also tender, and the brinjal (freshly cooked) was amazing.
