If you ask me what particular food defines Malaysian cuisine, this is definitely on the top of my list.
Satay is basically a brochette with a meat of your choice (pork, beef, chicken, mutton, etc.). They grill it on charcoal and brush it with their special sauce. It is usually accompanied by ketupat (a rice brick covered with coconut leaves). You can dip it into a homemade peanut-curry sauce or have it the way it is.
Believe me, you will have one stick followed by another and will hardly be able to stop.
