Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri

One of the items on our travel itinerary before beginning our tour to Pahang on 20.10.2013 was to enjoy satay at Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri in Damansara Uptown - a renowned spot for satay lovers. However, I was advised to skip this plan, as the outlet might not be open so early in the day, and potential traffic jams and long queues could cause unnecessary delays to our departure. Reluctantly, I decided that satay would have to wait.

 

To my great surprise, when I returned from the Pahang tour, my thoughtful nieces had prepared a special satay feast just for me - ordered directly from none other than Sate Kajang Hj. Samuri in Damansara Uptown! They had arranged a generous spread of 140 sticks of satay, including beef, chicken, and lamb.

The satay was absolutely delicious, with the beef standing out for its tenderness. The skewers were noticeably larger than the typical satay portions, a signature of Hj. Samuri’s style. To complement the satay, there were two kinds of peanut sauce: one sweet, the other spicy - both equally rich and flavourful.

Despite our best efforts, we only managed to finish about half the satay. I was humorously declared the "biggest eater" of the night, having devoured 13 sticks - a personal record! I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much satay in one sitting, nor enjoyed it quite as much.

Later, I found out there was a lovely synergy behind the scenes:

Sze calculated the number of sticks needed,

Suan made the trip to pick them up,

and Min generously picked up the bill.

Thank you, girls! Your kindness, planning, and teamwork made this a truly unforgettable meal.
