Kajang has long been known for their satay. People from all over flock to Kajang just to try out the Kajang Satay. Satay is an Indonesian traditional cuisine. It made its mark in Kajang after the world war one in 1916 by two enterpreneurs. Ever since then Satay Kajang took off.
There are approximately over ten stalls to choose from. All serving satays. Most owners of these stalls are related to one another. The one that I normally frequent is Hj. Samuri's joint. Their business is so good that they've opened up an adjacent restaurant at a nearby building. Now they have franchises at rest stops on highways as well.
So how good is the satay? Pretty good but it was slightly better the last couple of years. What's great about Kajang Satay is not much the taste of the satay but the peanut sauce. They really know how to make the kuah. And they give you generous portions of it. If you have hot taste buds, I recommend that you take the kuah with some sambal that they provide on the side. One minus point about Hj. Samuri's satay is that since they have a lot of satay to grill, we sometimes find one or two of the satays not fully cooked. But us Foodsters... 'bantai' onlylah! Alternatively, you could ask them to regrill the satay.
"Satay Kajang is synonymous with these grilled morsels"
Satays served here are beef, chicken, chicken gizards and tripe (perut lembu). Hj. Samuri's joint also serves satay rusa. It tastes like beef but a bit more 'fragrant'. I normally take my satay with Air Kelapa Muda. Nearby stalls serve everything else from rabbit satays to fish satays.
Peak times are weekend nights between 7 - 10pm. It gets a bit hot and stuffy so you may want to sit in the open air section which is near the river. Enjoy the food..
Getting there. Take the KL-Seremban Highway and exit at the Kajang Toll. After the toll, keep left and follow the signs to Kajang. After 5-10 minutes, you'll reach Kajang Town. Follow the road until you reach a bridge and turn left just before the stadium. There will be a sign pointing you to the Kajang Satay place. (Look left!)There are ample parking space but during peak times, you might find some difficulty getting parking.
