Satay night with James and Cecilia 与詹斯民和黄芝婷沙爹之夜

James and Cecilia Chiam came to Malaysia from USA for a holiday. They asked me to bring them to Kajang for satay earlier on in the email. I told them that we needed not to travel all the way to Kajang as there are good satays around town.

My family and I felt honored as they looked up on us. They are good Christians who are fervent for the Lord. Cecilia is a renowned writer among the Chinese-speaking folks worldwide. She is a well-sought-after writer by newspaper columns.

On Aug 13 evening, I brought them to Sate Kajang Hj Samuri at 79, Jalan SS21/37, Damansara Utama Uptown. We had a good fellowship though the foods were not really that good.

When satays were prepared in mass production, usually they were done hastily. The better the business, the worse the presentation, e.g. the foods are served cool, sometimes uncooked, as well as juice lost.

I usually enjoyed road-side-satays, though usually I have to wait a bit longer, as the food would be slowly fanned and flipped, and finally served hot from the charcoal stove.

Well, it is true that the best satays are still found in Kajang. It is best simply for the same reason that they are served hot. Next time you see the shops having a big crowd and the workers are doing mass production, please shun the shop.

詹斯民和黄芝婷从美国来马来西亚度假。他们早前在电邮叫我带他们去加影吃沙爹。我告诉他们我们不必去到老远的加影，因为在市镇都可吃到加影沙爹。

我和家人感到荣幸因为他们看重我们。他们是好基督徒，为主热心。黄芝婷是全世界读中文者都知晓的作家。她是中文报专栏的热门作者。

8月13日傍晚我们带他们到百沙罗乌打玛 Sate Kajang Hj Samuri 门牌79号享用沙爹。虽然食物并不是那么好，我们有美好的沟通。

当沙爹大量地被生产，它们都在仓促的情形下进行。生意越好，呈现就越差，譬如端上的是凉了的食物，有时不熟，及汁消失了。

虽然我须要等更久，但我通常喜欢路边的沙爹，因为食物被慢慢地拨扇和翻转，最后就滚热辣地出炭炉上桌。

不错最好的沙爹仍然在加影找到。它是最好的乃因同样的热辣端上的道理。下回你看到店铺满座，而工人则忙于大量生产的话，请避开该店。
