Here’s a question about satay. Where is it from? According to Wikipedia, there is a possibility that satay came from Javanese cuisine. However, we read an online discussion that mentioned the word, ‘satay’, came from a Hainanese / Hokkien word that means three pieces, ‘Sar Deh’. What’s Hainanese satay all about? Pork satay and pineapple sauce, and here’s where you can find it!
