In Malaysia, satay is a popular dish – especially during celebrations – and can be found throughout the country.
In Melaka, many people are selling satay, most of them either Chinese or Malay. Lately, I came to know of this Malay Satay stall which is very famous,yet unknown to me, who is a native here.
This Satay stall is famous among the Malaccans
The stall is called Mustafa Yatim, located in Bukit Piatu, Melaka. This area is primarily dominated by the Malay folks.

The stall starts selling Satay at about 4pm and by 6pm to 7pm, it can sell about 2000 sticks of Satay,business is exceptionally good.
the varieties offered are cockles, chicken,beef, chicken's intestines and hearts
the Satay are grilled in the traditional way, with charcoal fire
The Satay is grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings.Turmeric is also used to marinate satay, which gives the dish its characteristic golden yellow colour.
The business has now passed to the 3rd generation
The grilled satay and the ketupat (rice cakes)
the satay dipped with the spicy peanut sauce, or peanut gravy...
Even my VIP guests from the US like it so much! The sliced meat is rather big in portion,maybe that’s one of the reasons why it is well liked by the locals here.
But frankly speaking, it was a typical satay to me.
