At first glance, this Padang satay looks like lontong satay found in various regions in Indonesia in general, but there are many very striking differences between Padang satay and Lontong satay in Indonesia.
We can see this difference from various things, namely:
1. Lontong Texture
There are various types of lontong textures in Indonesia, ranging from chewy to dense, and the Lontong found in this Padang Sate is a dense Lontong cooked with coconut leaves which is shaped and known as Ketupat, while Lontong satay is a mixture of lontong which is chewy cooked for a long time using banana leaves. The process of boiling rice cake with banana leaves usually takes 4-5 hours.
2. Seasoning
If the lontong satay seasoning is made from various spices mixed with coconut milk, palm sugar, and other spices, then Sate Padang has a special spice that is always in demand, namely a thick yellow gravy and always served hot, so that the thickness of the spices does not decrease. The thickness of this Padang satay seasoning is due to a mixture of wheat flour and starch in the spices, then added spices and additional turmeric and curry spices, so that this Padang satay seasoning resembles the color of curry but is very thick and thick, especially the spicy taste, which makes anyone I just can be addicted to eating this Padang satay.
3. Origin
Sate Padang comes from the Padang area, West Sumatra Province, one of the provinces in Indonesia, with its unique and worldwide spicy foods, one of which is Rendang, and this Padang Sate also comes from there.
4. Satay meat
The satay meat in this Padang satay is very thin and skewered and grilled with charcoal and sprinkled with special oil so that the aroma of the meat is very distinctive.
Now, above, I have shared the information with all of Hive's friends, now I will enjoy the Padang satay that I just bought on the roadside with a fairly large portion, spicy, thick and thick spices, and lots of satay meat, plus more. with the conditions of lontong, gravy and satay that were still hot, made this mouth not stop chewing, until the last seconds of lontong. And one more thing that I almost forgot, one portion that I bought was given a piece of duck meat which was very tender and very tasty, this was truly an absolute pleasure. Good luck to all of you if this Padang Sate is in your area. Good evening to all Hive friends. Greetings from us Tomo and Maya from Binjai Indonesia.
