Yong Seng Satay located a the West is an westie favourite. If you live in the area, you most probably have heard of it espcially their sauce as they are known for a rich and flavourful satay sauce which is crucial for satays. As they open only 5 days and usually are sold out pretty early i would suggest coming early in the morning as the saying goes early bird catches the worm~~

“Their satay sauce is one of the best. Self service with the sauce and you can add the pineapple sauce as much as you want to the peanut sauce. The sweet and sour combination is making the satay so much more delicious. The cucumber and onion is free flow too. Satay grill to perfection and taste is delicious.”
“Best satay in Sg, varieties of satay here is Pork/Chicken/Mutton. 80cents per pc. Satay sauce here is delicious as well, my uncle does the peanut sauce himself fresh daily and he also includes fresh pineapple purée with it.”
“Meats are juicy, rice fragrance and the flavourful satay sauce with a tint of pineapple.
Extremely friendly boss.
Non-halal.”

Public Rating: 4/5
Public Reviews:
“Ordered the chicken and mutton satay. Tender, though there are large chunks of fat. Flavours of spices good, and the satay peanut sauce was good.”
“The satay is meaty and flavourful. When it arrived, the aroma is irristable.
However you have to eat quickly as the satay stays tender when hot. It will be a bit tough for old people when the meat turns cold.
We like the satay gravy consistency and the doneness of the ketupat.
Its our first time buying from this stall. We will definitely patronise again in future 🤤”
Seri Satay
Address: 4A Eunos Cres, #01-15, Singapore 402004
Opening Hours: Daily except Sunday 6-10pm
For the easties, this satay is open only 4 hrs everyday except sunday around dinner time. Sometimes in Satays the meat would be abit tough however Seri Satay serves up both very tender chicken and beef satay worth a try.
Public Rating: 4.3/5
Public Reviews:
“Came and bought before looking at reviews. Chicken and beef satay were both beautifully tender. I usually go for the safe option with satay and only get the chicken, but found myself loving the beef more. Was really amazed. Mee soto was also comforting and damn good.
No regrets.
Sidenote: highly recommend eating it immediately after it’s served while it’s hot – meat will dry up and get tougher as it cools – but still good, still tender”
“Ordered satay and mee soto. Mee Soto is piping hot and very delicious. Authentic satay! the satay sauce is served hot and such good food at affordable prices 😋”

“Amazing experience with the authentic satay flavour and fabulous fun texture of the chicken meat. The peanut sauce is a little spicy and taste great too. Would return again because of the freshness of food. Waited for it for 15 mins, when you are the first few in the queue. Love it!”
“Total price of set A 28SGD
The owner is super nice and kind. All of the abg and kakak are super friendly.
Satay tastes nice, the prawn satay is so good. The satay sauce is also very nice.
Overrated? Not really. The service, the food, it just make the overall memorable.”
Best Satay
Address: 22 Newton, Food Centre, Singapore 229495
Opening Hours: Daily except monday 3-1130pm
Alot of best right but really since Satay is such a well loved dish in Singapore there are many different ways that people enjoy it and this stall is also another loved by many locals as it has a well marination of the satays and a nice grill to it.
Public Rating: 4.4/5
Public Reviews:
“Satay and prawns were well marinated and grilled. Set A was quite value for money at $28, which included 20 satays and 6 large prawns. We were also given a complimentary ketupat. Extremely friendly service provided by the gentlemen. E-payment available.”
“Pretty decent satay, I always grab a handful when at Newton hawker center. Chicken skewers are meaty and soft, the shrimp satay are of decent size and good, fresh taste. Peanut dipping sauce is comforting but could use a bit more fragrance imho. Waiting times of 20 minutes when it’s busy, which is quite ok.”
Chye Seng Satay
Address: 51 Old Airport Rd, #01-146 Food Centre, Singapore 390051
Opening Hours: Daily except Monday 5-11pm
Having pineapple in their satay sauce makes their sauce more unique according to the review however if you are not a fan of pineapple then maybe this stall is not for you. However they serve the typical sides still and the meat which is mostly tender although prices have increase it is slightly better than other stalls.
Public Rating: 4/5
Public Reviews:
“The pork satay tasted better than the chicken. The rice cake is nice and soft. The meat is a little dry but tasty. The peanut sauce is pretty good however the pineapple lack the sweet sour punch that we were expecting.”
“
The pineapple sauce is what stands out in this satay stall. The combination of the sweetness from the pineapple and the aromatic textured flavour from the peanut sauce brings out the best in the satay. You can either dip into each sauce or mix both sauces together. I prefer the former as it gives a more distinct taste between the peanut sauce and the pineapple sauce, before coming together, giving rise to a sweeter peanut sauce, which is what you get for the latter right from the start. Satay itself is ok, be it the pork or chicken.
Take note that prices have increased. $0.70 for chicken/pork, $1.20 for mutton & $0.60 for ketupat. Cash only stall.”
Shi Xiang Satay
Address: 050335, Smith St, 335号 #02-79
Opening Hours: Wednesday – Sunday 1230-830pm
Some seldom sell pork satay however this stall is known for their pork satay which unfortunately is non halal. One thing good about this stall is also that they serve perfectly charred satay with not many burned bits good for people who are health conscious yet want to enjoy some good satay.
Public Rating: 4.5/5
Public Reviews:
“Definitely one of the best satay in Singapore. The pork and chicken satay are well marinated and very tasty. The meat is barbecue at the right heat and timing. Meat are brown but not burnt and is tender and juicy. The meat portion is quite generous compared to other stalls.
Service is quick and efficient.
Will definitely return to have more of the delicious satay.”
“First time trying out their pork satays.
80cents per stick.
Taste is nice but can be improve for the better.
Meat doesn’t seems too dry or hard. Definitely won’t be tender as chicken meat.
Overall is nice. Sauce wise maybe individual preference, not the taste I like, something missing or maybe preferred the sauce without the yellow part.
Order next time again when dropping by. 👍🏻”
Pang’s Satay
Address: 335 Smith St, #02-213 Chinatown Complex, Singapore 050335
Opening Hours: Monday Tuesday Friday 5-9pm
Saturday Sunday 430-9pm
Located in the heart of Singapore Chinatown is a great spot for tourists visiting the area to drop by for some Satay and process to explore around Chinatown. With super reasonable prices, have a good amount of fats but not too much with a tender feel and a good dipping sauce.
Public Rating: 4.6/5
Public Reviews:
“Regardless of pork or chicken satay, the taste is on point. Satay sauce is good too. Price is super reasonable as compared to other stores. The husband & wife team is very friendly too.
This is better than other satay stalls in the market. Do give it a try when you are there.”
“I’ve a thing for Chinese-style satay; pork meat just tastes glorious thanks to its fat and caramelisation over charcoal. Pang’s satay hits the right notes with its mildly spiced meats (not too salty or sweet), plus zesty peanut sauce (love the dollop of pineapple).
The Auntie also provides polite service and sends the food to your table. Overall, 😋👍👍”
Kwong Satay Geylang
Address: 517 Lor 27A Geylang, Singapore 389473
Opening Hours: Monday- Friday 5-1030pm
Saturday Sunday 430-1030pm
Besides the normal types of Satay they also have the pork belly which is loved by many and there is always a queue for it. Although the other Satay are good many would recommend getting only the pork belly satay as it is the most worth and very tender.
Public Rating: 3.9/5
Public Reviews:
“Order the Pork Belly satay and don’t bother about the rest.
Simply because the pork belly was so good that the usually pork and chicken pale in comparison 😊”
“Best pork belly satay in geylang! ♡
Loving every bite of it.. The crisp fats in the pork belly satay magically burst with juices within your mouth.”
