For quite a while, Satay Nyok Lan at Restoran Malaysia was a crowd favourite, with many regarding it as “better” than Haji Samuri. However, Nyok Lan closed down suddenly last year, serving its last stick of satay on 31 Aug 2017 - Malaysia’s Independence Day. The reason was because the old proprietress, Nyok Lan, has decided to call it a day after 3 decades. She now earns RM12,000 per month from leasing out her old Restoran Malaysia premises.
But the whole kitchen crew has now moved onto Satay Putera Kajang on Lorong Mandeling, a mere 5 minutes’ walk from where Restoran Malaysia used to be.
The kitchen also offers Muar-style otak-otak - spicy fish mousse wrapped in palm leaves & barbecued - the only satay restaurant in Kajang to do so.
