Sate Padang Ajo Ramon

This carpark at Pasar Santa turns into one of the most popular hangouts for Jakartans at night time. In fact, this area is more famous for its food stalls at night than the pasar itself - one of them being the Sate Padang Ajo Ramon stall. Now I've eaten enough sate padangs in my lifetime to know which I like and which I don't like, and I've got to say, this particular sate really kicks it out of the park for me. It's a bit spicy for my liking but I don't mind as long as there are a couple of teh botols handy. And I like the fact that I can come here as late as I want and there would still be stacks of people in their pyjamas queuing to eat here, especially during Ramadhan.

The cooked sate is then left in the gravy so it intensifies the taste of the gravy and keeps the beef tongue tenderised
