Comments:

  • From an experience POV, it does not get much better than this

  • They transform a busy street and block it off from cars into one that has these outdoor stools and tables so that you can eat and indulge to your heart’s desire

  • We got an assortment of meats and prawns - all of them were absolutely delicious as they were cooked over a nice charcoal fire so you really get that smokey-ness to pair with the sweet peanut satay sauce

  • It felt like you were no longer in “developed” singapore and transplanted to a different part of south east asia = vendors were coming up to you, random people are selling you tissues, there’s smoke everywhere, pints of beer everywhere - it was amazing
