"Their satay is really good and tasty.
I really appreciate the seller's honesty since he said this is not buffalo meat but cow meat.
Since nowadays it's really difficult to find buffalo meat.
So if you really want to try buffalo satay, you should find other place.
I was really annoyed by the street singers who force asked for money from customers."
