Entire Street Dedicated to Satay in Singapore

As soon as the sun sets, the streets are starting to glow. The road shuts so that people can walk freely, and tables and chairs are set in the middle of the street. The entire production feels like a Broadwat production.

The Boon Tat Street, also knows as “Satay Street” is located behind the Lau Pa Sat hawker center and gathers around 10 hawkers who serve grilled sticks of meat in plenty of styles and flavors, alongside with delicious dipping sauces.

For a few hours, everything feels as it once used to be.

"Its openness, the smell, the smoke rising is free," Abrahim Allaudin, a second-generation stall owner, tells CNN. "There's nothing else like this in Singapore."

How to Order

From the opening at 7 p.m. To midnight, people can choose from ar array of satay platters that range between SG$30-40 ($20-30).

People will find mixed sets of skewered shrimp, chicken, beef, mutton, and even duck; however, there is no pork, as the food is halal-friendly. If done right, people's clothes will still smell like smoke the following day.

"I've eaten at every satay corner from here to Indonesia," says vendor Ainon Hussin. "On Satay Street (in Singapore), different stalls offer different tastes it depends on what you prefer. I like to focus on the basics, like the chili spices."

"We don't use MSG and we have healthy choices like mushrooms, while still using traditional spices like coriander and turmeric."

No matter where you decide to dine, the experience is unique, like a family affair, where everyone feels at home.

"This is the only satay club in Singapore, and it's like the golden days," says vendor Hussin.
