Who is not familiar with This Indonesian food,satay?Yes satay,Even the President of the United States Barack Obama is very fond of satay.He loves satay because his childhood had lived in Indonesia precisely in Menteng,Jakarta.

Satay is a typical Indonesian food raw materials (meat or goat) are cut into small pieces and stuck on a prick made of small bamboo. But do you know how the history of satay can be a typical Indonesian food and why the food is called satay?
Here the history as has been collected from various sources.

satay?? allegedly derived from the Tamil language. Suspected sate was created by street food traders in Java around the beginning of the 19th century, based on the fact that satay began popular around the beginning of the 19th century along with the growing number of immigrants from Arab and Muslim immigrants Tamil and Gujarat from India to Indonesia. This is also the reason for the popular use of mutton and sheep as a satay which is preferred by people of Arab descent.
in the codetradition of Muslim Indonesian society,sate used as food in welcoming Idul fitri holiday Another theory suggests that the origin of the word sate comes from the Minnan-Tionghoa term 'sa tae tub' meaning three pieces of meat. However, this theory is doubtful because traditionally sate consists of four pieces of meat, not three. And the number four is considered not a number that brings good luck in Chinese culture. Indonesian Chinese also adopted and developed satay according to their taste, namely pork satay served with pineapple sauce or sweet soy sauce with additional Chinese spices, so the Chinese sate has a taste like a typical Chinese roast beef dish.
