We think City Satay at Satay by the Bay offers a decent option for those craving satay, particularly for its inclusion of pork satay which sets it apart from some competitors.
The general consensus points to good flavour and value, with mixed satay sticks priced around $0.90 each.
However, the pork satay, while a unique offering, is significantly more expensive at $1.80 per stick and has received criticism for being stiff and occasionally charred.
We note that charring seems to be a recurring issue, potentially due to rushed preparation during busy periods.
The peanut sauce is described as creamy, though some prefer a coarser texture.
Expect long queues, especially during peak hours, and be prepared for a wait to collect your order.
Overall, it's a solid choice if you're in the area and specifically want pork satay, but be mindful of potential quality inconsistencies and the higher price point for pork.
Best for a casual, value-driven meal rather than a premium satay experience.

The quality of the satay meat is good, although the peanut sauce was a little too creamy and fine grain for my taste. Be sure to order ketupat if you want some with the satay. The otak was reasonable.
