Sata

Sata is a cherished traditional dish from Terengganu, Malaysia, often compared to a delightful Malaysian fish cake. To prepare sata, spiced fish meat is enveloped in banana leaves and then grilled to perfection.

The essential ingredients for sata include grated coconut, sardines, ginger, onions, and chili peppers, creating a unique and flavorful taste.

A quick heads-up: do not confuse sata with satay! While both are staples in Malaysian cuisine, they are distinctly different. Satay typically consists of skewered and grilled meat, whereas sata emphasizes the delectable fish wrapped in banana leaves.
