Brilio.net - Satay has become one of Indonesia's most popular culinary icons. This dish, consisting of skewered and grilled meat pieces over hot coals, offers a combination of savory, sweet, and slightly spicy flavors that pamper the tongue. Satay can be made from various types of meat, such as chicken, goat, beef, and even fish, each with a unique flavor enriched by distinctive spices.
Usually satay is served with complementary seasonings, one of which is peanut sauce. This typical Madurese satay is then sprinkled with sliced shallots and chili. There are also those who add lontong as a condiment when they are about to eat satay.
If served directly, the satay can be doused with the peanut sauce. However, some people choose to separate the peanut sauce, especially if the satay is to be wrapped and taken home. This is done so that the satay and the sauce are still fresh when eaten.
Many people choose to wrap satay to eat at home for various reasons, one of which is a netizen using TikTok @masepelem. In one of the videos uploaded, he had time to complain about ordering a pack of satay with separate seasonings.
However, when he arrived home, when he was about to eat it, this man was surprised because the satay in his package was in an unexpected condition.
"Buy satay for ten thousand, sir. Separated. Well, I like it separated so it doesn't go stale quickly," said TikTok @masepelem as reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (12/11).

This man told the story in detail, starting from when he ordered the satay, to his habit of buying the satay with the sauce separated, with the reason being that the satay would not go stale easily.
But this time he found an unusual phenomenon. When opened, not only the peanut sauce was separated, but the satay was also "separated" or had not been separated from the skewer. Pieces of beef were scattered. The beef was mixed with sliced shallots and chilies. On the other hand, the skewers were just inserted into the oil paper.

This man could only sigh at the unusual satay. Although the beef was already cooked, the process of skewering the meat onto the skewer would certainly take time. According to him, satay is eaten while still skewered, not scattered like that.
"How come the model of selling satay is like taking it apart and putting it together," said TikTok @masepelem.

Having been viewed more than 1.6 million times, the video about the moment the man bought satay immediately attracted attention. Many TikTok users were then shocked by the appearance of the satay. Through the comments column, they then gave various responses directly.
"But wouldn't it be nicer if it was removed from the skewer?" said TikTok @vannishafitriapriliya_.
"Sate dismantled," replied TikTok @leniagustina792.
"This is the concept of sunduke being used for chopsticks (this is the concept where the skewer is used for chopsticks)," wrote the TikTok account @user.321abc.
"But I once bought 10 skewers of satay, two of which were only given the skewers, no satay," commented the TikTok account @ragstn2.
"It's so much fun, you can DIY it first," said TikTok @akuclarr.
