There are all kinds of satays in Indonesia, but one of my favorites (besides the regular chicken and peanut sauce) is Sate Padang, a spicy and exciting dish from the city of Padang in the province of West Sumatra.
I have gone to many weddings in my life, and in most weddings, catering will serve Sate Padang. I don't know why, but there ya go. It's a guest's favorite, I guess. And that is why I always associate sate padang to be a wedding dish.
Thankfully, though, now I don't have to wait to be invited to someone's reception to have this delicacy because I found a spot in Gunung Sahari's Golden Truly which sells really delicious sate padang. Spicy and savory, with a choice of lontong or potato chips covered in sate padang sauce, it makes for the perfect lunch meal.
I don't know how to describe this dish. The diced beef are boiled and marinated in spices which are too complicated for me to describe, and then the satay are all covered by mouth-watering gravy made of turmeric, garlic, coriander, galangal roots, curry powder, cumin, and broth made of internal organs (offal).
When I see the distinctive yellow color of the gravy, my stomach immediately growls, asking for sate padang to get in my belly.
