Satay Kakul

Satay Kakul is one of the best halal traditional food from Ubud, Gianyar Regency. The surprising ingredient of this meal is a snail.

Well, in the modern era like today, it turns out that Satay Kakul is transformed into a culinary that is loved by so many people.

It’s quite easy to make this satay. First of all, the snail is cleaned then put it into a skewer stick and then burned. Before it is burned, the snail meat is smeared with a mixture of seasonings of oyster sauce, hazelnut, soy sauce, and tomatoes. Also, grilled fish seasonings such as brown sugar, shallots, and soy sauce are often applied to the baking process. 

Although the method of making and the ingredients are simple, the taste is extraordinary. These satay flavors tend to be spicy. So, if you love spicy cuisine, you need to try this satay.
