"The original Sate Bundo Kanduang in Pekan Baru
Love the kuah sate padang, really tasteful! Meat is tender.. six stick per plate.
Sate ayam kuah kacang also not bad, the kuah is sweet and savoury. Sate ayam bit dry but still okay for me.
Paired with es teh and kopi dingin.. please request for less sugar as normal sugar/milk is too sweet for me.
The only laidback are the facilities (toilet looks dirty) also saw some small roach roaming around our chair and table."

"One of the best satay in pekanbaru. There is Padang or Kacang broth up to your choice. Alot of people eat here and table often leave dirty, but once you seated the waitress come to clean."
