Can you believe I've never stepped foot into Atwater Market? Well, nestled away in one of the stalls is a super popular Indonesian/Malaysian/Singaporean spot, Satay Brothers. They've become so popular that they have an actual restaurant in St. Henri (about a 5 minute walk away) that's open for dinner when the market shuts down.
Hours coincide with the market although they're closed Monday and Tuesday. First time I came, they were closed but that just meant I could take pictures in peace. Drink menu - interesting that you can order pitchers. Perfect for summer drinking. Even though they have a paper menu, the board menu reflects actual prices.
The stall is very laid back and the guys working there are very cool. We sat at the two counter seats on the side and got to chat with some of the workers, which was pretty entertaining. Even when they were shutting things down to move to the restaurant, they didn't rush us. Heck, they gave us some chicken satay skewers on the house.
- Calamansi lemonade ($3.50)
- Green papaya salad ($8.00)
- Laksa lemak ($11.50)
- Chicken satay skewers
I can't really think of any other places in town that specialize in south-east Asian cuisine so you'll have to make due with Satay Brothers to get your fix. Not a bad way to end my trip!
