Earlier tonight, Mr J drove Hubby and I to Lau Pa Sat for satay. It was upon my suggestion as I saw a food review on TV about the duck satay that one of the stalls there sells. When we reached there, we discovered that the reviewed stall was closed.
There were many touters around trying to convince us to patronise their stalls. In the end we settled for "Power Satay" as the stall also served duck satay (our main reason for going there in the first place).
Mr J took charge of the ordering - 10 sticks each of duck, beef, tripe and 15 sticks of mutton. When the satays came, we were excited. They look quite presentable, delicious even, but there's where the good points end.
Firstly, the sauce lacked spices and peanuts. It also seemed that it wasnt freshly made. Secondly, the duck tasted bland. Thirdly, the beef was over marinated and didnt have any "beef" taste. Fourthly, the tripe was too dry and tasted like plastic.
The consolations were that the mutton was quite delicious and the hawker actually gave us some rice cakes (lontong), free of charge.
Needless to say we were very disappointed with the food and I for one was in quite a foul mood as I didn’t get the delicious satay that I craved for. My anger was further fuelled by Mr J’s ongoing complaining about a certain female travel companion who went with him on his recent trip. I get it, and I don’t know why he doesn’t get it – that woman is a bitch. So, enuf said.
