2. Sate Padang Triadi (Satay)

Sate Triadi with Kerupuk Kelinci

To all spicy food lover must try this Satay Padang Triadi. Located on Bandar Baru street, but moved to Malaka street now. This satay a little bit pricey comparing to other, because they serve squid, quail egg, chicken's fat and many more besides beef and chicken meat. I recommend "Kerupuk Kelinci" for an extra topping to satisfy your stomach.
