Penang Hawker Food – Braised Beef Noodle and Hainanese Satay

Other than the wanton mee, authentic Hainanese Satay is available from the peddler with his stall parked right in front of the coffee shop. Hainanese Satay should come with an additional creamy sauce made of potato, chili and sour plum besides the common peanut sauce. This type of satay was once very popular in Penang. Sad to say, there are only a handful of them left in the island.
