I thought i read somewhere that there's a famous satay stall in Whampoa by the name of Mang something.

Imagine my excitement when i chanced upon this stall called Mang Jia Jiao Satay!
The lack of any notable mention by famous foodies (Green Book, ieatishootipost, makansutra) aside, i have to follow my heart on what i thought i read!
"Uncle, 10 sticks of pork, 10 sticks of chicken, no rice!"

Looking at the plate of meat sticks (satay), my mom commented that the satays were pretty "white". By "white", she meant the lack of burnt marks (chao ta) that are the standard for most famous satays.

A healthier version with lesser carbon content but the bane is getting a plate of satays that was deprived of the much loved smokiness directly connected with the chaota-ness!

Furthermore, the marination was not as sweet and to a sweet-tooth person, this was pratically a failed satay!

While we were trying to finish the satay (agonising no doubt), i noticed a pile of meat (above) on the table, where Alex was sitting.

That bloody bitch was tearing away the fatty parts and parts that were blackish. Kaoz!! The amount he plucked was tantamount to three sticks of satay!!!

hehe... it's not Mang Jia Jiao
ReplyDeleteit's "mang ka kar", an old Hokkien name for Lavender Street if I'm not wrong
literally, it means "foot of the mango tree" or "mosquitoes bite legs" (no one really sure which version is the correct one)
I know! haha. but it's stated as such on the stall's signage..
ReplyDeleteActually, i think mang ka refers to chempedak and kar could mean a rest area or a market. For one, we used to call the nee soon wet market as gan kar.
My hokkien is horrible!!!
