PETALING JAYA, Nov 17 -- Opened this October, Kevin's Pork Sate serves up Melaka-style satay with its distinctive peanut sauce folded with pineapple. 

It's a little different from the usual flavour profile you get in Melaka, which tends to be sweeter.

According to the owner, the flavours are a blend of Hainanese and Portuguese styles, giving you a different flavour profile. 

The evenly hand-sliced pork layered with a piece of fat is marinated using a special mix of spices and aromatic roots like lengkuas, giving the grilled meat much flavour on its own already.

These fragrant morsels are made even better when dipped in the chunky, slightly spicy peanut sauce blended with the tangy-sweet pineapple. 

You will find it easy to finish everything on the plate as long as you liberally add that sauce.

Each plate is served with nasi impit and the usual accompaniments of cucumber and red onions.
