Sate Ayam Cak Gepeng, a Madurese satay stall situated near the intersection in a shopfront, offers a peculiar dining experience. Despite accepting dine-in, the absence of seating raises eyebrows and affects the overall convenience. On the positive side, the prices are remarkably low, catering to budget-conscious customers. However, the packaging leaves much to be desired, with peanut sauce often spilling out of the wrappers. The unconventional taste of the peanut sauce, resembling a mixture of water, brown sugar, and chicken feed components, may not suit everyone's palate. The skewered meat, though cooked thoroughly, disappoints with its diminutive size, and the overpowering peanut sauce further diminishes the meat's flavor. While condiments like sliced cayenne pepper and shallots add a decent touch, the overall experience is marred by the stall's peculiarities. I would hesitate to recommend it unless significant improvements are made, urging the merchants not to be stingy to rent a proper space for their business instead of hitchhiking in other people's shopfronts.
