craving for juicy bits of meat, dipped in a delicious gravy? head to old punggol satay at alexandra village. if i may use a singapore slang to sum up the satay experience here, the word is “shiok”!
food on a stick is always fun to eat! that’s why satay (meat skewers) is one of my most favorite food. most of the time i would satisfy my satay cravings at stalls #7 and #8 in lau pa sat, which i have raved about over and over again. in my opinion, their satay is the best i’ve ever had.
but today, i highlight a different satay stall that is slightly away from town. the name is old punggol satay, a stall run by chinese folks. muslims would have to skip this one, sorry! the food is strictly non-halal, with pork satay being offered as well.

for 50 cents a stick, you get a good-sized portion of diced meat on the skewer, with options of chicken, mutton or pork. the tender meat slides off the stick easily, so you need not overwork those jaw muscles. most importantly, the meat is nicely marinaded and perfectly grilled — neither too burned nor too underdone.
even the ketupat (rice cake, also 50 cents each) is beautifully wrapped in pandan leaves, with the sweet fragrance permeating through.
the one key factor that distinguishes old punggol satay from your run of the mill satay stalls is the peanut gravy dip. the special gravy is served with a large dollop of mashed pineapple sauce atop, resulting in an additional and much welcomed layer of flavor.
very shiok!
and you know what would make it even more shiok? allow me to whet your appetite a little. find out in my next post! meanwhile, here are the rest of the goodies at alexandra village.

Looks like there’s a lot of good food at that area.
There sure is! Don’t forget the nearby ABC Market too, which has even more goodies!
Hey Veron. Actually the practice of adding mashed pineapple to the satay sauce is not that uncommon. Kwong Satay has been doing it for ages. Apparently it is a Peranakan recipe.
Some Chinese satay sellers even give you pure pineapple sauce for dipping!
