Satay Kajang

Want some satay? Satay Willy will not fail to make you burp. Just prepare for the expected long queue once you’ve decided to go here. It will be worth the wait, though.

Willy Satay is a small warong located at Sungai Ramal Food Junction, a food court in Kampung Sungai Ramal, Kajang. While it opens until late hours, it is advisable for you to reach there by 10pm.

The queue can appear to be long but keep in mind that Willy Satay has several satay lines in place and the queue moves a bit fast too! Expect your order to reach your table in relatively short time.

Looking at the number of grills, the long queue of customers and the amount of satay each customer orders, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could sell over 10,000 skewers everyday.

Customers waiting in line are notified of the estimated waiting time by a piece of written paper at the counter. Since you already expected the wait, it becomes kind of bearable. When I was there, the wait was said to be at 40 minutes; then it became 1 hour and 20 minutes before we left and the queue didn’t seem to dwindle at all.

There are four types of satay available here: chicken, beef and perut @ RM0.90, lamb @ RM1.20, while lontong is priced at RM1 each.

Compared to the usual road-side satay, Willy’s chicken satay has thick chunky meat mixed with a reasonable amount of chicken skin for the juicy texture. It’s well marinated, tastes very delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the tenderness of the sweet and savory meat that had a pleasantly strong lemongrass flavor.

The beef satay on the other hand is just above average and nothing really worth shouting about. I am also happy to say that the peanut sauce is excellent as well and not oily too.

Dine-in customers: “Reserve” your table and take its number. Place your order (and specify table number), make payment and your order will be delivered to you in about 10-20 minutes.

Take-away customers:  Place your order and wait for your number to be called.
