Editor's note on Apr. 12, 1:53pm: A previous version of this article stated that the satay are not deep fried. They are, in fact, fried, according to an Old Chang Kee spokesperson. This article has been edited to reflect the information.

Satay will soon be conveniently available across Singapore for takeaway thanks to Old Chang Kee.
From Apr. 13 - May 15, 2022, the fried food kiosk is selling Chicken Satay In A Cup at more than 70 of its outlets.
The collaboration will see five satay from heritage brand Jumain Sataysfaction with a "specially created" peanut sauce in a cup for S$4.

And while we originally thought that it was not deep fried, it turned out to be at least "fried", but it is uncertain how deep the frying goes.
Old Chang Kee would also like everyone to know that these are halal-certified chicken satay, marinated with authentic spices.
If you don't feel like queueing up for it, the item can be found on delivery platforms (GrabFood, foodpanda, and Deliveroo) as well, although in different quantities.

Here's the complete price list:
- Retail: Five sticks dripped with satay sauce, S$4
- Delivery: 10 sticks with separate satay sauce, S$10
- Extra cup of satay sauce, S$1
All this sounds well and good, but it will be well and better if they add ketupat (rice cakes) to the cup.
