BBQ Bday celebration with City Satay review

 Decided to book a pit one week before my birthday since I have to work the following day and couldn't get a chalet. There was a thunderstorm in the noon but thankfully it stopped after a while. YAY. So we got quite a lot of food and drinks with the contribution of everyone and we are all ready to get fat! Didn't have a photo of all the food but here is what was on the pit at one point in time. 

The one rare moment that I am actually doing something LOL 

Best companionship from these peeps

Didn't really took a photo of all the food we had cause it was all covered and I was too lazy to uncover them (as usual) and so here is what was on our pit at one point in time. Prepared the mushroom and tofu ourselves the day before thanks to CY for staying late to help, while the satay, wing and stingray (in aluminium foil) is from City Satay! 

There is only a few reviews on them when we googled it but I will say they provide really good satay and seafood! We ordered 50 sticks of raw chicken and pork each, 3 sambal stingrays (500g) - comes in a bag of 2 separately packaged foil (that means we had 6 packet of stingray technically), and 20 pieces of BBQ wing for both honey and BBQ flavored wings. Had 5 pcs of baby octopus too! 

The delivery of City Satay was prompt, though I had a funny encounter of them saying they have arrived and waited for 30 minutes with no call from them but only a sms, and so they left and will come back an hour later. Which I was thinking like what era is this to not call the recipient upon arrival and wait there for 30 minutes? But oh well, either way, our food arrived at 4.45 pm and the delivery man was friendly! Our order email was promptly handled to with really good follow up. 

Food quality wise, City Satay gives really juicy and tender satay. Especially their pork satay because they never forget to put in one piece of pork belly fats in the middle of the satay. Chicken wing was well marinated and their sambal stingray meat was tender. If you are a sambal lover, they really give holy sambal that is spicy enough and they are not stingy in the sambal amount at all! 

Spent around $87 plus on the food plus $5 for a big Styrofoam box which I would say in overall is pretty worth it. I seriously love their satay and stingray and their food totally complete my BBQ set! 

Some food (it is really like 10% of our food) 

After all the eating, me and CY went on for a short stroll in search of the ATM which was really quite far away. Took some shots on the way to practice his photography skill which He had quite a bit of scolding for because I can't stop asking for a retake. (Sigh, problems of going out with a non-photogenic but die hard want take photo person meh) 

Of course, birthday celebration can never forget about our birthday cake! 

As usual, it is one from Chocolate origin cause it have been listed as our default cake place after trying it once since it is so good! 

And that marks the end of my BBQ day and pleasant experience with City Satay and East Coast Park. Am thankful for all my friends and family who made this day so special and meaningful after spending hundreds of dollars and lots of effort to carry the things down and keep the fire going! A good and meaningful first start to my first 2's ! More post on my birthday dinners to come when I have time to load everything up.
