Sate Nyelempit Depan Polsek Sukolilo

Surabaya salah satu kota surganya sate, karena di Jawa Timur dan Madura memang banyak jujugan wisata kuliner sate, sebut saja Sate Madura, Ponorogo, Tulungagung, sampe sate klopo Suroboyo yang sering jadi bahan liputan media.

Kali ini saya ingin share satu jujugan makan sate favorit kita di Surabaya Timur, tempatnya nyelempit, masih jarang yang tahu, tapi rasanya cukup enak dan harganya terjangkau.

There's plenty of well loved satay dishes around East Java and Madura, for example Satay Ponorogo, Tulungagung, and the famous Surabaya's own coconut satay. Those satay dishes can be easily found in Surabaya.

Whilst you can google those famous eatery around Surabaya, let me share with you a hidden gem in Eastern part of Surabaya. It's a street food vendor with quite a following, and the price is very affordable.

Sebagian tempat makan sate serupa biasanya buka menjelang malam, setelah maghrib. Untuk yang sehari-harinya membatasi makan malam, bakal sedikit kesulitan cari bakul sate yang buka sore dan rasanya enak.

Pak Imam ini salah satu yang bukanya dari sore sekitar pk 16.00. Cocok buat yang keto / OMAD dan lagi nyidam sate

Most street vendors start business after sunset around 18.00 onwards. This particular vendor starts early at 16.00, which is very convenient for people doing OMAD (one meal a day) and limiting their eating time before night.

Bisa pesan sesuai selera, mau banyak daging atau banyak kulit. Yang di foto kali ini ayamnya kebanyakan pakai kulit, karena butuh asupan lemak kalau pola makan keto.

Rasanya enak, bisa dilihat proses dari mentah ke matang, tingkat kematangannya tidak over, kulitnya tidak sampai gosong seperti di sebagian tempat lain

As in any satay seller, you usually can customize your chicken satay order, be it just meat, or with plenty of chicken skins. On the photo above, I ordered one with loads of fatty chicken skin.
It was grilled to my liking, not overdone, which usually render the skin too charcoal like.

Sate Kambing juga jadi salah satu menu favorit di sini

Masalah harga, saya lupa-lupa ingat, sekitar 35rb - 40rb per 10 tusuk, kalau ayamnya cukup Rp 15.000 saja per 10 tusuk.

Rasanya enak juga, walaupun saya masih belum terlalu ngefans sama sate kambing, lebih cocok dengan gulai kambing. Daging kambing termasuk cukup susah diolahnya. Kalau tidak dimasak lama / proses khusus, biasanya masih terasa keras, makanya kalau di resto mevvah biasanya suka olah kambing muda kalau dipakai menu steak dan sejenisnya.

Apart from the chicken satay, they also sells goat satay

I remember the price being around IDR 35-40k for 10 skewers.

The chicken satay costs around 15k, which is quite affordable.

I do like goat meat (probably prefer this to pork), but goat satay sometime gives me to much jaw-workout, which is why I like Gule Kambing (goat stew) more.

Sate Kambing - Sate Pak Imam Sukolilo

Sate Kambingnya di sini lumayan enak, tidak bau kambing. Hanya dagingnya tidak seempuk yang saya inginkan. Full disclaimer dulu, saya baru sering makan kambing sekitar 3 bulan, walaupun dari dulu juga sudah doyan. Masalahnya dahulu kala takut sakit kolesterol dan lain-lainnya, 3 bulan lalu diet keto dan akhirnya berdamai dengan kolesterol & makanan berlemak. Intinya, saya ngga bisa dijadikan jujugan untuk menilai standard masakan kambing, jadi monggo kalau ada yang pernah nyobain sate kambing di sini, bisa post comment pendapatnya .

I found the goat satay quite pleasant tasting, despite that, it's quite chewy for me. I have to confess though, I don't frequently eat goat dishes in the past, having been worried about cholesterol level and such. Nowadays I don't mind eating fatty food and high cholesterol dishes. That being said, in summary, don't take my word on what a Goat Satay firmness should be, since I don't have much experience. If any of you dear reader have an opinion about this particular satay, do post a comment here, I'm quite curious how this place fare.
