I love street food.
Especially when I visit new countries and towns.
It’s one of the best way to see the real local culture. I love sitting on a wobbly plastic chair, feeling the new fresh air, choosing a dish which I’ve never seen before. It’s a nice little adventure.
This recipe is Indonesian satay style. I remember the smily and hard working people at food stalls in Indonesia when I eat it.
