Our take: Carol Satay & Otah consistently earns praise for its well-marinated and tender satay, particularly the pork.
Reviewers highlight the perfect grilling, which locks in juices without over-charring, and the good fat-to-meat ratio.
The satay sauce, elevated by a dollop of pineapple, is a standout.
While the chicken satay is also well-received, some find it to have a more Chinese-style marinade.
The prawn and vegetable fritters are recommended, especially when reheated, and come with a surprisingly spicy chili.
However, the otah is generally considered average and small, and the ketupat can be dry.
We also note a common sentiment that the satay is best enjoyed on-site, as takeaway can lead to tougher meat.
At $0.80 per stick, some find it a bit pricey.
Verdict: A strong contender for satay, especially the pork, but best consumed fresh at the stall.

Well marinated and tender satay, especially the pork satay. Satay sauce had a dollop of pineapple sauce which elevated the taste. Many raved the prawn fritters, which was decent too.
Bought takeaway. Delicious satay. Pork is tastier than chicken. Rice is nice too. Otah just average and a bit small.
