This is a favourite in Southeast Asia and is similar to the Turkish shish kebab and the South African sosatie. A satay is skewers of meat doused in aromatic spices, grilled or barbecued and served with accompaniments like spicy sauces. Street vendors also sell satays in Bali and you don’t have to walk into a restaurant to try out this amazing local food.
