Sate (Indonesian spelling) or Satay (Malaysian spelling) is one of the most loved foods in Southeast Asia. Today, I have the talented Dhi at Cooking Etcetera as a guest writer on Rasa Malaysia.

I am personally very excited to learn more about Indonesian cuisine and I hope you will enjoy (and follow) their guest posts here on Rasa Malaysia. Please welcome Cooking Etcetera.
