Sate Kere - Is it Only for the Poor?

In delivering his speech during his visit in Indonesia, US President, Barack Obama shared his little memory during his childhood time in Indonesia. He remembered about satay, the typical menu of Indonesian people. Audiences became to laugh when he imitated the voice of satay pitchman...."teeeee....saa.....teee....". His memory and longing about satay in Indonesia was finally recovered when he could enjoy it during state banquet with Indonesia President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.  Yes, Obama loves satay as most other Indonesian people. For foreigners, including Obama, the image of satay is strongly attached to Indonesian culinary life. Indonesian students who study in other countries often deliver satay as the menu during International cultural and food festival. Though satay is very famous and has variation in ingredients and spices to make it, what the people have in mind at first place is chicken satay (sate ayam) and some others are familiar with goat satay (sate kambing). In fact, Indonesia has so many variations of it including kere satay (sate kere), the traditional menu from Solo city.
