Chye Seng Satay

If you have never dipped satay in pineapple infused peanut sauce, you cannot claim to have lived a full life 😏. Chye Seng Satay have been residents of Old Airport Road Food Centre (OARFC) since 1991 and are sellers of a traditional style of satay. Easily the best 🏆 satay stall at Old Airport Road Food Centre and one of the most delicious satay stalls in Singapore. Warning: your standards of Satay will be irreversibly raised after experiencing Chye Seng. I had a lovely chat with the kind and sincere owner aunty and thanked her profusely for her amazing satay. She shared with me that she innovates her recipe to differentiate and to keep up with ever rising customer expectations. She also shared that her regular customers come from afar (Jurong) and also some local celebrities frequent her stall. Freshness is a key principle of their stall and everything is made as fresh as possible, they'd rather run out then make large batches. They also keep prices competitive to serve the community. I had the chicken and pork, both splendid, with the special pineapple sauce, a traditional recipe that elevates this satay offering to new heights. More detailed posts about the stall can be found on ieatishootipost and singaporefoodie websites. Why wait.. you owe your present self to try it.

The best lamb satay ! Better than many famous one in Malaysia. I will pay $2 for the glorious mutton / lamb satay ! Chicken satay is meaty , not cut corner with chicken skin or whatever . having with pineapple sauce is perfect marriage . Still Melaka has best satay pineapple / star fruit sauce but this is good ..

You get uncle n auntie serving you retro satay that is not overly seasoned. There is a bit of chew in the satay which goes well with the peanut pineapple sauce. The pineapple is fibrerous and tangy fresh. There is an article from ieatishootipost that says auntie slices the meat n skewered them. Visit for a slice of old Singapore food when things are not overly seasoned and sweet.

The pineapple sauce is what stands out in this satay stall. The combination of the sweetness from the pineapple and the aromatic textured flavour from the peanut sauce brings out the best in the satay. You can either dip into each sauce or mix both sauces together. I prefer the former as it gives a more distinct taste between the peanut sauce and the pineapple sauce, before coming together, giving rise to a sweeter peanut sauce, which is what you get for the latter right from the start. Satay itself is ok, be it the pork or chicken. Take note that prices have increased. $0.70 for chicken/pork, $1.20 for mutton & $0.60 for ketupat. Cash only stall. Edit: They have accepted paynow so that’s good! But chicken/pork have increased to $0.80 and mutton to $2?!!? Just why!

Among the few Satay stalls at this food centre, this one is my favourite. As you can already tell from the picture, the thing that stands out is the grated pineapple on the peanut sauce that gives it a very satisfying tangy sensation when eaten with the satay. My favourite is pork satay anytime and the pork satay here is the kind I like - smoky and chewy (and not hard).
