"This Satay seller is friendly and caring. The satay meat is juicy and tender and it's perfect meat. The portion is also nice and the gravy satay sauce is with tumeric and it's really nice. So far I can say it's one of the best in Penang. This satay seller also provide the most satay choice in penang. You can choose satay chicken, pork, Tom Yam, mutton, beef and new flavour. When you dine in, you also have free toast bread. You can also phone for reservations for party."
