Grilled meat on skewer sticks is wrapped in a neatly pinned banana leaf package for “take-out.”
The food inside the package is called “satay,” which are chunks of grilled meat on skewers, which is a favored dish throughout Indonesia and the Malay world. The meat is generally eatern with white rice and dipped in a spicy peanut sauce.
Night markets and street vendors flourish in Southeast Asia, where people take advantage of the cooler evenings to shop or dine out. Many fast, inexpensive, and delicious meals or snacks can be obtained along the roadsides in the evening after the sun sets.
