Mulia ‘O’ Restaurant is at a busy intersection between Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Semarak; suicidal you would think on such a day. And yet it was nicely full, with families and the after office crowd chomping down satays and soups. On a day like this, a place like this was just the ticket to wait out the rain or traffic and enjoy scrumptious satay.
The satay itself was in nice large chunks superbly marinated in big plastic containers. Whenever an order came, the fiery coals were fanned to give them that characteristic burnt, charcoal flavour, caramelising the fat and crisping the meat. Our food of champions, the sauce came in a generous bowl with smaller individual bowls so everyone could have their own savoury peanut pond. A tiny bowl of chilli was served beside for those who preferred their sticks fiery. The sauce is not as delicious as some we've had elsewhere but the large satay chunks amply made up for the lack of uumph in the sauce.
Dunking the satays in was pure pleasure and the ketupat and cucumbers balanced everything up. Also served here are fried rice and noodles. If the satay doesn’t fill you up, we recommend the fried rice kampung style, simple yet terribly tasty with lots of crispy anchovies and kangkung.
Opens from 6pm - 11pm
