Satay Celup with JOBBIE Peanut Butter
by Fifi Leong (@fifileongmy IG)
Can't travel to Melaka for Satay Celup? You still can enjoy them even while staying at home!
Originating from Melaka in Malaysia and one of the many famous foods when you travel there, satay celup is a local delicacy that cannot be missed. Besides the exciting selection of skewers available, a good satay gravy is aromatic and is tantalizing to your taste bud.
It is tempting to enjoy such delicacies in the company of your family and friends. Invite them over (once the lockdown ends) and indulge in the feast filled with joy and laughter. As a general tip, to combat the spiciness of the sauce, you can serve coconut water as a pairing quencher.

TIPS
