Satay Solo

Don’t let its name fool you – Satay Solo dishes out more than just satay. The name is a nod to Solo (aka Surakarta), a city in Java, where the founder Wak Karimin was originally from before he came to Singapore with his satay recipe in 1939. Today, his granddaughter and great-granddaughters man the Bedok Corner stall, serving kampung-style cuisine including its star dish: nasi rawon ($5.50). The rawon gravy served here is slightly soupier with chunks of tendon floating in its beefy bath. The sambal belacan on the side gives the extra kick needed to balance the earthy flavours of the rawon.
