Alhambra Satay

Alhambra Satay was part of the now-defunct Satay Club during the 1960s. During that time, the family-run business insisted on serving up hand-cut satay, paired with its chunky peanut sauce. Till today, the recipe remains the same, and diners can sample its sticks of chicken, beef, or mutton ($9, with 10 sticks and rice cake). Another heritage dish – kentang ball ($6) – can also be found on its menu. Few places serve this local dish, and Alhambra Satay makes it by first deep-frying a ball of mashed potato and minced beef before ladling over spoonfuls of soto ayam, or chicken soup.
