From Gurney
Drive to
Turnpike Ln.
Penang Satay House opened in 2008 above the buzz of Turnpike Lane, founded by a family that grew up eating at Penang's legendary hawker stalls — Gurney Drive, New Lane, Chulia Street.
We brought one rule with us: respect the recipe. The satay marinade is mixed by hand each morning. The laksa paste — galangal, lemongrass, shrimp, candlenut — is pounded fresh. The sambal simmers for an hour, never less.
Seventeen years on, our charcoal grill is still the heart of the room. Pull up a chair, order the platter, share everything.
Charcoal first
Real lump charcoal. No gas grills, no shortcuts. The smoke is the seasoning.
Family recipes
Three generations of sambals, rendang and laksa pastes — written down once, made by feel ever since.
Hospitality
We feed you the way we'd feed our own family. Order too much, take the rest home.
