Here’s a question about satay. Where is it from? According to Wikipedia, there is a possibility that satay came from Javanese cuisine. However, we read an online discussion that mentioned the word, ‘satay’, came from a Hainanese / Hokkien word that means three pieces, ‘Sar Deh’. What’s Hainanese satay all about? Pork satay and pineapple sauce, and here’s where you can find it!

Satay is not rare in Singapore. It is possible to find a hawker stall selling satay in every food centre. Most of these hawker stalls serve satays with pineapple sauce.
