SATAR

Satar is a dish cooked-wrapped in a banana leaf over a low-fire barbecue. Fish meat, shallots and ginger are pounded to a paste and wrapped in banana leaf before it is cooked.  Its sweet taste is tinged with delicate smell of the wrapping, making it a great appetizer and a healthy snack.

I bought 4 sticks of satar from the stall above. Each stick has three pyramid shaped satar and costs RM1.50.  It is very, very cheap for such delicious food.

For those who are interested, here is the recipe.
