This is possibly the best example of local style Chinese pork satay, something the Hainanese adapted from the Malay and Nonya renditions. They grill it over a smoky charcoal fire pit, and only when the coals turn amber and glowing with perfectly soft heat. The marinade tends to lean on the sweet side but you can sense the rempah or spices used. They use more lean meat so the heartland regulars are happy eating this very often. But the joy is in dunking that roasty, burnt edges and soft inside skewer in their thick and rich peanut sauce, done with a very mild touch of spices, something the older generation loves.
