The 8 Best Satay Spots in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 8 picks

The best satay in Singapore in 2026 is at Haron Satay in East Coast Lagoon Food Village, the stalls on Lau Pa Sat's Satay Street, Zaiton Satay at Adam Road Food Centre and pork satay from 168 CMY Satay in Chinatown Complex. Kwong Satay in Geylang and Chai Ho Satay in Clementi are strong picks too.

Satay is skewered meat grilled over charcoal and served with peanut sauce, ketupat (rice cakes), cucumber and onion. Muslim-run stalls typically serve chicken, beef and mutton, while Hainanese-style stalls such as 168 CMY and Kwong Satay also grill pork, with a pineapple-based or nutty sauce. Sticks cost roughly S$0.60–1 each and most stalls have a minimum order of 10. Satay is an evening dish, so check each stall's hours.
