Sate Ayam Madura (Maduranese Chicken Satay)

One of well known Indonesian food 🙂 and also one of my favorites. And why we call it Sate Ayam Madura? It’s because the seller of sate ayam are usually comes from Madura, it’s a little island north of Java island. That island is also happens to be where the grandparents from my father side came from. But boy I’m glad my father wasn’t a sate seller 😀 hihihi…
