About

When I was studying in Perth, I had the time and opportunities to recreate many Uniquely Singapore dishes like Carrot Cake, Char Kway Teow, Chick Kut Teh, Chicken Rice and Nasi Lemak to curb my cravings for food back home! They may not be as authentic as the taste back home since satay tastes a lot better if you cook it on charcoal grill and char kway teow is just out of this world when you can taste the wok hei, but nevertheless delicious enough to go around and made my friends and I very happy. Those were the varsity fun days.

Chicken satay is actually very easy to make!! Anyone can do this and impress their overseas guests should you decide to serve it at your dinner party and introduce some of our local delights. I forgot where I got this recipe but it should be from the net since I am always reading recipes online. It is a very good recipe and I have been using it ever since! Happy Skewering!
