Satu Satu: Malaysian Chinese Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

Great Malaysian restaurant, you can smell the lovely wok hay, giving almost a street food vibe.

What we tried: Nasi Lemak with fried chicken: 8/10 really delicious, the fried chicken is juicy and tender, love the sambal and samba egg with it as well. They also offer this with curry chicken or curry veg. I wish the portion is slightly bigger.

Belachan Udon: 7.5/10 If you love spicy shrimp paste, you’re gonna really like this dish, pretty big portion, it has prawn and pork in it, it is quite spicy which I like, but my friend did find this too spicy.

Curry Laksa with chicken: 7/10 Hainanese chicken rice: 7/10 Roti canai with curry sauce: 7.5/10 The flaky roti with satay flavoured curry sauce is very good, a great appetiser.

Desserts and drinks: mango and black glutinous rice in coconut milk: the mango are very delicious and the gluttonous rice are great. They offer loads more dessert with mango too.

Hong Kong style French toast with peanut butter and condensed milk: a classic Hong Kong dessert, it’s a delicious combo, highly recommend. You can choose your own aside and spread such as kaya, nutella and red bean.

Dessert roti: this is such a great creative combo, I loved it, it comes with ice cream and whipped cream, I opted for kaya and condensed milk. The flaky roti with ice cream is just amazing! The only comment I have is I l wish the roti itself is sweet.

taro ball dessert: lots of toppings like grass jelly, sago and coconut jelly with coconut milk or red bean soup or milk tea, can’t go wrong with this one.

lemon tea: very good, refreshing Hong Kong style milk tea: very good honey citrus: really good with yuzu pieces.

Overall, the menu offer a great variety of dishes, from starts to desserts, love the range of food they offer. Especially the huge range of dessert and drinks they offer!

The restaurant does get busy in the evening and they have 7/8 tables. Very...

Imagine this. It’s 4.45pm. You’re walking down the street. You see a small cafe. It’s quiet, they’re preparing for the dinner rush. You look at the opening times. It opens in 15 minutes. You smell the air. sniff

It hits you. The rush of spices and heat that only the Far East can create. You’re suddenly reminded of the Hawker Stalls in Singapore. The street food of Indonesia. The home cooked meals your Malaysian mother made for you at home. Your senses are overjoyed before you even walk in the store.

You decide to wait and order food when the restaurant opens. You order roti canai followed by a serving of laksa, with a cold Milo Dino on the side to cool it all down.

Satu Satu will bring you back to simpler times. With great, authentic tasting food that reminds you of home. Although any restaurant outside of SE Asia will struggle to match the real deal, Satu Satu does a remarkable job and I’ve never once been disappointed with an order.

Although I wish the prices were as cheap as the food back in Asia, I suppose all great food requires a price tag. And I believe with the quality of food I’m given, I can’t complain...

Was really excited for the nasi lemak since it is one of my fav comfort food but overall felt underwhelmed. Rice has very mild coconut flavour, the sambal feels more like the dried version of the Chinese chili oil and I would expect friedchicken wings but cutlets though the meat is nice. Sambal egg without the sambal is just the fried hard boiled egg. The Hainanese chicken rice is so so. Rice has a bit spice which is kinda weird. Chili is nice and not sure if the condiments provided is the light soy sauce coz it tastes a bit sweet and the ginger seems like those you bought from the grocery store. Ordered both the mango pomelo sago and the red bean soup, which I enjoyed more than the main dishes. Service was slow and I felt the attitude of the server was a bit strange towards me and my friend felt it too and I've been polite throughout the evening. Personally I would not recommend for someone who is from Singapore (I'm not fussy eater) as I find the food is quite average, but for first timer to get a taste of Sg and...
