It’s time for some #NomNom with one of the most popular street food items across Southeast Asia — the satay — at Baan Thai, The Oberoi Grand. “While the origin of the satay remains a much-debated topic, the yumminess and popularity remains unanimously accepted. Hence we decided to come up with a range of satays, in both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian. The best part is that each kind of meat and vegetable is marinated with ingredients that bring out its maximum flavours,” said Klae Somsuay, speciality chef — Thai, The Oberoi Grand.
Jackfruit is marinated in curry powder, light soy sauce, peanut butter sauce, garlic and chilli paste and then grilled till it’s crunchy. Rs 925-plus
A signature of Chef Klae, this satay uses sticks of lemongrass as the base around which minced lamb flavoured with fish sauce, coriander, sugar, sesame, chopped onions and garlic is wrapped and then grilled. Each bite is a fresh one because of the aroma of the lemongrass.
