He's trying to feed you. He's trying to feed me.
Hey, fam.
Welcome back.
Today's video is a highly highly requested video.
We've gotten a request for this like over the last several months over and over and over again
People in Malaysia and all over the world were like, "There is satay where you live, guys.
So you guys gotta go visit that place and try out that satay".
And today we're gonna do just that.
We're gonna go check out this place.
They're known as Satay by the Bay.
Because we live in the bay, so clever name.
All right, fam. So we are in a city called Alameda
which is very close by the bay.
We don't know where's the truck yet.
We're just walking around this...
What is it? The naval fault? Navy...
It's an old... Alameda basically was an old like naval base...
that no longer is used for those purposes
but it's pretty cool. There's lots of old buildings here.
Satay by the Bay and it's a food truck. They like go all around the Bay Area.
But today they're here in Alameda
Also guys, they totally were not lying when they said satay by the bay.
That is literally the bay right there.
If you look way in the distance, that's San Francisco.
Okay, Rach. This is exciting.
I'm so hungry just looking at it. I know.
Okay, finally street food satay.
Let's go check out the menu.
Everything looks super good.
What's that? Everything looks s good. Yeah.
They have satay sandwich.
Americanizing it.
Dang! The satay queen of San Francisco, yo!
We're gonna meet royalty today.
We get to meet her? I hope so. I think she's here. Okay.
Okay, we definitely have to get like chicken satay.
Fried tofu, satay, sandwich, dutch fries
Singapore chili crab. What?
Singapore chili crab fries.
Oh, it is fries. Yeah.
No. There's sandwich and there's fries.
Oh, okay.
Oh, I gotta try that too you know.
Oh my gosh. One of everything.
Yeah, one of everything.
Two of everything, actually.
Look at this, yo.
They even have like sambal and stuff.
Hi. Hello.
How are you? I'm good.
You guys hungry?
Huh? You guys hungry?
We're so hungry.
You haven't eaten breakfast?
We haven't yet.
Rachel, can you understand? Yes, I can.
She asked us, "Are we hungry?"
See. She can understand.
I love you 'mak'.
'Mak cik bawang'
That was the first video that I saw and I could not stop laughing
because it was so funny.
That's great.
That is how I set up my husband too.
So, Elly, right?
Huh? Elly? Elly. Okay, I want to make sure I'm pronouncing it right.
Logesh? Logesh. Yeah.
Do you know how many people have told us,
"You have to come here and check you guys out".
Really?
All messages and comments and audience were like, "You have to come (x3)"
I'm like, "Okay. Okay, I will go".
Did you watch my YouTube?
Then, at least you have a background of it.
Yeah.
As a Malaysian, he will look at it at a different angle too.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah. Definitely.
I'd compare the satay to like authentic Malaysian satay.
There's nothing to change. It's all from the kitchen.
What do you want to order?
So at the very least, I want to try satay.
How many?
Umm...
My treat. It's okay.
No, don't be like that. It's okay. No. No.
Oh, she can understand? Yes, she can. She's learning Malay language.
So smart. A little bit.
How many do you want? 6 pieces?
Umm, 6 pieces. It's huge.
Okay. Okay. 6 pieces. 6 pieces.
I also want the Singapore chili crab.
Okay. Okay.
Which one is better? Sandwich or fries?
Which one is better?
What do you feel like? You feel like sandwich or you feel like fries?
Like it hits you differently.
Is it? Yes.
Oh, I feel more fries. I think fries. Fries, right?
And we do like... I think half order. Don't want to waste it.
So...
So far, customer service top notch.
Very top notch. I can give A++ for that.
She's like the most friendliest person ever.
Food, though.
That's the most important thing.
I can give away customer service. As long as the food is amazing, I'm all in.
Kyren heard the word satay and that woke him up.
That woke him up?
He loves... This guy loves satay
and this boy over here, he loves ompressed rice (nasi impit)
which Elly said that
she made some yesterday for...
I don't know if she has it on her regular menu or not but...
apparently she made some last night for us.
How's the water? Did you try the water
I tried it.
Is it good?
Yeah.
Does it taste like normal water or special water?
Normal. Normal water.
Zae Zae, why do you smell so good?
Did you use cologne?
No. No?
Is that the Zae Zae smell?
It smells so good.
Okay, I have a moment.
Oh, okay.
My goodness. He's so cute
Thanks for like sending this over.
Did it beep? Because it beeped for like a second and stopped.
Yeah. We were saying that, "Okay, we just bring it because we have a moment".
Oh, okay. No more customers.
Then, I'm just gonna like... Okay. Okay. Thank you.
Oh, by the way, I'm Elly. This is David, my husband.
Hi. Hi David. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too.
All right, Elly. Yes.
So Satay by the Bay, I don't know why it's so popular.
So many people keep asking us to come here.
Can you give us a little spiel? A little bit like explain to me about your business.
Okay, so why is it so popular is because...
what we're serving right now is the satay which is from Singapore.
And it is authentic.
And also the recipes, the peanut sauce is from my grandmother.
Okay. Okay, it's my grandmother's peanut sauce
and the satay is original. Like pure Singaporean/Malaysian food.
Nothing has been changed except for the size.
Okay, so is it Singaporean or Malaysian?
No difference, right? It's the same.
Malaysian or Singaporean, all the same. Yeah, it's all the same. No difference.
People in the comment section will start a war later.
You should see that YouTube comment.
It's Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporean war.
Where satay was originated? You know. Yeah.
So why it's popular? It's actually the peanut sauce.
Okay.
So the peanut sauce is actually our secret recipe.
So this one right here, right? Yes.
So, it's my grandmother's peanut sauce. Okay.
So, it's a secret sauce and we did a video on that too.
But, of course i did not tell it.
Because peanut sauce, Satay by the Bay went viral, yeah?
Of course and also the chili crab.
It's the chili crab fries and sandwich also.
I came here for like satay.
I was excited about this but this is like bonus.
Yeah. Because... You know it's a Singapore chili crab, right?
Oh yeah.
I heard people raving for it
and I was like there's no way in heaven that I am going to sell Singapore chili crab as a whole.
You know, I'm not going to boil crab on the truck.
and then my friend who actually has a food truck, we did a food trade
and he gave me a burrito which is actually a crab burrito.
I cut it in half and I was looking at it, "Okay".
Now, bingo. There you go.
We just get the crab meat and then we make the crab sauce and the chili crab sauce. Awesome.
Okay.
So, Kyren's already gotta go in. We gotta go in with it.
Okay, Kyren's already went in. Zae Zae?
Oh, Zae Zae. You haven't eaten yet, buddy.
Let's start you with your... Give him some peanut sauce too.
Some peanut sauce? Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
He can have his own container.
He loves compressed rice (nasi impit) so much.
So here I'm going to give his own container. Really?
Because he double-dips. Here it is.
I'll give you some sauce, okay?
You want more sauce?
Oh, Kyren is jealous now.
Oh, I just tried the peanut sauce. You can dip it.
Okay, I just tried just the peanut sauce.
It is so good.
It has a very strong tamarind paste
and that's what gives it like that tangy sort of like taste to the sauce.
Already great start, so far.
Oh, you already got?
Kyren just force-fed me some.
Wow, that is good.
Oh my goodness.
So well marinated.
So juicy. Yeah, the flavors have all infused so much. It's so juicy
It's not like hard, right?
Because sometimes when you overcook chicken, it can be hard.
This is like so juicy.
Dude.
Thanks, baby.
By far, the absolute best satay I've ever had in America. In america. By far.
In America. By far. No competition or whatsoever.
There's no other satay that comes anywhere close to this one in America.
Like no chance.
It's so good. It's so good.
Okay, we gotta go try these guys here.
This is the chili crab. Chili crab.
Singapore chili crab. Singapore chili crab.
And then what's the other one?
These are the dutch fries.
Dutch fries. They have like peanut sauce and mayonnaise, I believe.
Okay, I want to go in with the chili crab first.
Okay, let's do it.
Okay. Just tried the Singapore chili crab fries.
He just wants to feed me.
I don't know why. I think he just loves me too much.
Kyren likes to share.
If Kyren likes something a lot, he likes to share that food with everyone around him.
So that means he likes it. Yeah.
But anyway, Singapore chili crab, it's good. It's good.
It's not like eating chili crab in itself
because obviously it's like a pseudo with the fries.
So it has that starchy...
sort of like heavy carb fries coated with like the Singapore chili crab flavor.
It's a very hearty meal. It is.
I think like this one there's no chance I can finish all that by myself. No chance.
It's just heavy
but it's good.
Okay, Dutch what?
Dutch fries? Dutch fries. Dutch fries.
Okay, I don't know what Dutch fries are.
He's like take a peanut sauce on top and then there's mayonnaise on top of that.
I don't know why it's called Dutch.
Okay, we don't know.
But he's like, "This was on the house".
I mean everything was on the house.
They refused our payment.
So nice. So nice.
But he's like, "You have to try this".
So, trying it in all its glory. This is what it looks like.
Kyren loves it.
Oh my goodness.
So good, right?
Now I know why they asked us to try this.
Okay, not to say that the chili crab is bad.
Not saying that.
But if I were to pick one of that, I'll pick the Dutch fries.
I feel the same way because i feel like the chili crab fries are a meal in itself
where the Dutch fries are nice to eat alongside satay.
Zae Zae. You have to try the dutch fries, buddy.
You're gonna like this one.
Oh, thank you, Zayden. You're so sweet, bud.
You know something about this... About like Malaysian restaurants
I want to tell you guys about, right?
In America, so there's two types.
Usually Malaysian chefs and cooks in America
who make really authentic food, they struggle.
Because Americans won't like it
But only the Malaysians like it, right?
So they don't make a lot of money.
Now, on the other hand...
the cooks that make food that are... less authentic. Like more Americanised. They do more well here...
because more of the locals eat here.
But then, all the Malaysians are like, "This food is crap. It doesn't taste like Malaysian food".
and they don't support them.
So there's a struggle there, right?
What Satay by the Bay and Elly and her husband, family has done is...
they actually found a perfect balance between both.
I feel it's so authentic
but at the same time, they made it relevant.
You see what I'm saying?
Like it's...
The taste of it, it's like actual satay that's juicy.
It's all finished. I want to show you but it's all finished.
And then like the chili crab...
Like that's a good example, right? The taste of the chili crab is like...
like authentic.
But they made it relevant.
They threw it on fries, so Americans are like, "Fries.
I can eat that you know".
So that's why I think they're so successful.
They found the good balance between authenticity and keeping it relevant for the american palette.
As an American, I'd like to confirm this. It is very suitable to American palette
but it does taste like we're eating very southeast Asian, Malaysian, Singaporean food.
It's really great. I love it.
American verified.
Wow. What is this?
That's our satay sandwich.
Oh my god.
It's got three chicken skewers on it.
A satay sandwich? Yes.
Guys, this is something you'll probably never see in Malaysia
but we have it here in America
and it's on dutch crunch too.
Thank you so much. You're welcome.
You're making us fat today.
Okay, Elly.
Goodbye. Thank you so much.
It's so good to see you. Thank you. Please come again.
Of course.
Bye. Thank you. See you. Zae Zae, say bye.
Say bye. You want to give auntie Elly a hug?
I'll see you soon, okay?
I will.
All right but seriously thank you so much.
Your hospitality is amazing.
Come again next time.
Of course. I'll bring her dad to come.
Definitely. Definitely.
Ready? Go
You did it.
Zae Zae, are you sure this is okay?
There you go.
I'm ready.
Guys, it was such an amazing video to like record today because...
Elly's such a wonderful person.
Satay by the Bay, the food was so good. It's so stellar.
I just feel like I was almost transported back to Malaysia.
But anyway, these kids are back here
They're losing their mind
because they haven't got their nap yet.
So we got to bring them back, put them nap and all that jazz.
Anyway, amazing.
Thank you so much. Thank you to you guys.
You let us know about this and that's why we did this.
We would never have heard of it if it wasn't for you.
Yeah, baby.
