Value for money
Maintaining the price of their satay has also encouraged the locals to support them, with many of them buying in bulk. That being said, sales could soar up to 800 sticks per day! Diving deeper, Noriza also revealed that the key to their mouthwatering satays actually come from the marination of the satay.
“We marinate the meat the night before it’s grilled and we repeat this process everyday as all our satays are sold out by the end of the day”, she said.
