After I received my "travel order" to Zamboanga City, my birthplace, my hometown (thanks for the free trip), I
immediately called up my older brother and told him that I am coming over and asked him to take me to a “Satti House”. The last time I had this spicy spirit
kicking dish was years ago. I can’t really remember the exact figure, and I
almost forgot that this delicious dish has ever existed.

| Spicy Satti @ P50.00 per serve |
Satti is a local dish that is served with puśo (wrapped
rice), sticks of roasted beef or chicken meat + overflowing with thick hot and spicy
curry chilli sauce that is usually served early in the morning. You can rarely
find satti available by lunch time.
Anyway, we (my boss + 1 colleague) arrived on Tuesday July 30, 2013, 8AM on board
Cebu Pacific from Cagayan de Oro City. My brother was supposed to picked me up
at the hotel around 9AM and go directly to “Satti House”, unfortunately our
schedule had changed, my boss asked me to stay for a while because were
meeting one of our applicants and later had our lunch at Alavar Seafood Restaurant
were we had the famous curacha.
The satti feast was slashed off that day. I thought I won’t
be able to eat what I’m craving for during the trip because the only opportunity
we had was on the first day, the 2nd day will be devoted to main
purpose why we went to Zamboanga, a whole-day business meeting and then fly
back to CDO on the 3rd.
But guessed what? Good luck was on our side, because our business
meeting host fetched us at the hotel early morning before the meeting and
brought us to Andy’s Satti in Tetuan, Zamboanga City. All smile for me! Lol I thought I had a no-satti trip but I was wrong! Woot hooo!
Satti is really a famous dish to locals and tourists. From Christians
to Muslims, students, workers to those who had hangover, satti is the most
satisfying and energizing breakfast. So
if you are in Zamboanga City don’t
forget to try the spicy satti and I’m sure it will really perk up your day!
Sounds delicious!

ReplyDeleteit looks and sound delicious. and i love anything that's paired with puso. i'm just not sure if i can take its spicy taste.
ReplyDeleteThe way you described it, there is no doubt that satti would be energizing, but I think more of something to really wake you up if you're still sleepy during breakfast.
