Maxwell Satay is a satay stall at Maxwell Food Centre offering the quintessential Singaporean grilled skewer experience. The stall serves chicken, pork, and mutton satay, each marinated in a blend of turmeric and spices before being charcoal-grilled to a satisfying char. At $10 for 12 sticks, diners can mix and match their preferred meats, with the pork satay drawing particular praise for its good ratio of lean to fat and a pleasant chew that avoids dryness. Each order comes with the requisite chunky peanut dip, diced cucumber, and raw onions, all of which come together in the familiar, satisfying way that satay is meant to be enjoyed. The stall opens in the evening, making it a popular choice for dinner and late-night diners at Maxwell. Maxwell Satay delivers the straightforward, well-executed grilling that has made satay one of Singapore's most cherished street foods.Operating Hours
