Due to the influx of large numbers of Indian Tamil and Arab immigrants into the Dutch East Indies in the early 19th century, these immigrants brought with them dietary habits. Combining local ingredients from Java and Sumatra led to the emergence of satay in Indonesia, and then spread across the strait to the neighboring Malay Peninsula, throughout Malaysia and Singapore, and finally spread to Thailand. Usually the meat is marinated in sauce and then grilled. Although bamboo skewers are often used to skewer the meat, the more orthodox method is to use coconut leaf stems to skewer the meat.

They then took them to a stall specializing in meat and bones to raise funds for cooking, and gradually formed a special delicacy such as bak kut teh. 3.
