A trip here wouldn't be complete without ordering the Sate Babi ($15.88), Chinese Indonesian style pork satay. The mixed selection of meat, innards and skin is ideal, but as someone who has yet to develop an appreciation for offal, it's nice having the liberty of choice. Unlike our local satay, larger and leaner chunks of pork are glazed with a sweet, sticky soy sauce.

Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between the Sate Babi Manis (sweet marinated pork satay) and Sate Babi Asin (savoury marinated pork satay). Both possessed a characteristic sweetness and those much welcomed charred bits.

I also tried the Sate Kulit (pork skin satay), which I reckon fans of the gelatinous fatty skin (the kind you find on braised pork belly) will enjoy.

All skewers are served with shredded galangal, green chili shallot pickles and even more sweet soy sauce.
