Famous Tiong Bahru Pushcart Satay Man Opens Stall In Chinatown

Ah Pui Tiong Bahru Pushcart Satay in Chinatown

We all know the Ah Pui, the pushcart satay man, who hawks his wares from a wooden pushcart outside of 195 Pearl Hill Cafe. His satay sticks are so popular and in demand, waiting lists span half a year to get your hands on some. Now, the wait gets cut shorter as the satay seller finally opens a physical stall, Ah Pui Tiong Bahru Satay, in Chinatown’s Smith Street.

The signature item on the menu is the Ah Pui Famous Satay, priced at $1.10 a stick, with a minimum order of 10 sticks. All sticks are marinated, skewered, and grilled by hand. The stall will also sell appetisers, and mains, so you can dine-in at the outlet too.

Appetisers include a Crabmeat Salad with Roasted Sesame Dressing ($5), while mains offer you options like Vietnamese Chicken Wing Rice ($8.50), and old-school Western-style Chicken Cutlet Rice ($8.50). Seafood fans will also be happy to know that the charcoal grill will also lend its charred kisses to Grilled Prawn With Thai Seafood Sauce too ($2.40 per stick, minimum order three sticks).

Apart from food, the Chinatown outlet will also offer alcoholic beverages. Choose from a selection of beers on draught, all starting at $10. Towers are available for Hoegaarden, and prices are as low as $10 per pint, and $45 per tower during happy hour, which runs before 7pm. Non-alcoholic beverages are also available for the non-drinkers, with unique options such as Thai Ice Milk Tea ($3.80), as well as Vietnam Ice Coffee ($3.80).

The stall has been officially operating from 21 June, so pop by the area if you’re keen to give this highly sought-after satay a try. Do note that their kitchen closes at 9pm, though.
