Sen Kee Duck Satay, Kepong


By You Get What You Give ... (Visit website)



Food Adventure Series - Kepong, Part One


When Saturday arrived again and Jason mentioned about meeting up for dinner, I had in mind to trek into some unfamiliar territory for some good food hunting. With the recent post on Lim Kee, KampungBoyCityGal had left a comment to "remind" me that they stay nearby to us too. So, at around 7.40pm, the three of us (CityGal sans KampungBoy) headed off to "unknown" coordinates. Why unknown? Cos even at that very moment, we still had not decided where to eat! After Jason and I had our usual brotherly and sisterly "argument" in the car with CityGal sitting at the back thinking where to go to, I suggested that we go in search of Sen Kee's Duck Satay in Kepong and take it from there. Problem was, none of us knew where it was or how to get there. Reading road maps and making calls to friends (to the extent of not only asking them for help with directions but to also those who were at home to go online and get us the address from VKeong's post on Sen Kee!) yielded no answers.

We decided to throw caution to the wind and just started heading towards Kepong. Quarter way through, we suddenly remembered that Simon stays in Kepong and we called him to see if he knew where Sen Kee is and whether he wanted to join us. He couldn't really figure out the directions over the phone but decided to join us. We pulled over at Carrefour in Kepong and waited for him...by the time he got into my car, it was already 9.30pm!!! But nothing can faze us and with Simon leading us towards Taman Desa Jaya, we arrived ... Aaahhh! I don't know about the rest of them, but for me it was like "Eureka!" - felt like doing a little dance there and then! Hahaha...

It's actually just a little stall located outside a Legend Garden Restaurant and since we had no intention of eating Chinese dishes, the four of us decided to sit on the lone table outside and eat duck satay and nothing but the satay...all forty sticks of it!

Sen Kee Satay
At 60 sen (USD0.15!)a stick, one has a choice of chicken, duck or lamb.

In Unison
This is my first time seeing two staff, working side by side while fanning the grill. Apparently they dress in the same colour code too. They both had worn pink when Vkeong ate there.
Satay Trimming
When the satay is cooked, it'll be transferred to the side table where one of the ladies will trim off any burnt bits with a pair of scissors before it's served to us.
Duck Satay
and here's the Duck Satay in all its glory! It was moist and the meat had a springy texture, had no gamey taste to it and was flavourful enough to eat it on its own without the satay sauce. I did try the sauce and it was quite good - thick and nutty! Well, Jason surely liked it a lot as he drank up his plate of satay sauce! :p


Would I come here again for the duck satay? The answer is a resounding YES! (CityGal and I ordered extra sticks to go!) and I just hope that I still remember the way there. Hahaha....Well, as in any "traditional" food crawl, one stop just doesn't cut it. Going along with Simon's suggestion, we proceeded to our next destination...but's that another post :D
