Welcome back to another blog on international cuisines! Today, I will talk about another delicious food that will certainly bring back memories for people who have ate it and wishful thoughts of people who have not ate it before. Satay! For the sake of where exactly satay originally comes from, I am going to say Malaysia or Indonesia. But, Satay is enjoyed in every Asian country from Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, China and the Philippines not to mention around the world! Satay is usually enjoyed with some type of sauce depending on which country you eat it in. I usually go to a local Malaysian restaurant to have it and they serve it with peanut sauce. Also, satay is typically eaten as a snack but if I eat it at home I will usually just eat satay and a bowl of rice, which is quite yummy! Satay can come in a variety of meats from chicken, beef or pork.

So with that, I will sign off with a big YUM YUM to satay. Enjoy!
