Malay Satay Hut

Its the first Saturday of the month - the local bike club Spokespeople organizes monthly group rides to nearby neighborhood on this day. We planned to join, but due to some installation work to be done in our apartment, we could not make it. So we were kinda feeling restless and grumpy, watching "Time Warp" on Discovery, unclear what to do next.

"Fine, lets do our grocery then, and save some energy for our ride tomorrow," CH decided.

"OK, since its going to be evening, we can check out Malay Satay Hut!", I quipped.

This is the closest to home food I could find in Seattle. We went there few weeks ago for lunch, but it was closed.

Hastily completed our grocery shopping, we walked over to the restaurant (Yap, its situated in International District aka Chinatown). Ok, the interior decor looks like a Malay hut, somewhat. The waiter/waitress who served us were from Malaysia. Great, food to the test now.

We ordered Penang Char Kuay Teow (槟城炒果条), Pork rib with rice (排骨王) and Bo Bo Cha Cha dessert (sweet potato and yam in sweet soup).

"I'm sorry, we only serve Bo Bo Cha Cha during summer", said the waitress.
"How about Chendol?" I asked.
"I need to check with the chef. If its not available, what would be your other choice?"

Feeling somewhat disappointed, we opted for Avocado shake as the last choice.
And we got it. Consolation was there is gula melaka (brown sugar) in it! My favourite! Yum yum.



Our verdict:
Not authentic at all! Not even close. We will give it a last chance by checking its other branch at Redmond, said to be better. What a big letdown!
