Are You Game for an Exotic Satay Ride ?

What was the most exotic satay have you taken so far ? Before this, the most exotic satay that I’ve taken before was snail satay :D Anyway, we went to try out a new satay stall recently to check out what we can get from there. The stall is located along the Sg Ara main road.

We weren’t expecting anything fancy except for the usual stuff like chicken, beef and lamb. As we got there, we were rather surprised of what they got to offer when the waitress came to serve us.

Beside the usual stuff mentioned above, we were offered satay varities of rabbit meat, deer meat, ostrich meat, calamari and the most interesting among all … horse meat … yeehaaw !!! ;)

Well, we haven’t taken horse meat before, at least up to that point of time. It was totally new to us hahaha. We were pretty sure that the waitress knew we’re pretty curious on the horse meat as we kinda asked a series of questions related to the horse meat LOL. After politely answering our questions, she added that if we wanted to just try it out, we can even order 2 sticks (one for each) of the horse meat satay and so we did.

We ordered the usual stuff plus some deer meat, ostrich and of course not forgetting the **ahem** horse meat. The horse meat felt a bit hard and has a kinda salty taste. Am pretty sure it’s not due to salt. The beef was really soft and tender. The rest were equally great.

For the price, it’s a little pricey to pay for satay but it’s a worthwhile experience. Well, some horsey experience you can’t find anywhere in Penang, LOL.

Are you game for it ? Which was the most exotic satay you had ?

    Had pig intestine satay before. I wouldn’t call it exotic, though. Yuck!

    blurryleo: { the intestine if cleaned properly and marinated nicely, should taste pretty good, no ? just my thoughts … hehehe }
