The peanut sauce is often considered more important than the meat itself.

Skewered, grilled meat served with a rich peanut sauce, sold from mobile carts or shoulder-pole vendors who fan the charcoal by hand as they walk their route.

Why it's made this way: Mobile "pikulan" vendors carrying stove, charcoal, and ingredients on a pole let a single person bring a full kitchen directly to residential streets.
