Satay Set #3

Satay Set embodies Dr Iskandar's passion for creating ceramic-ware that perfectly captures the essence of Singapore's 'food culture'. This stoneware set was specifically designed for satay - a classic dish of marinated meat skewers grilled over charcoal. As a tribute to Glutton Square's iconic outdoor satay stalls of the 1970s, Dr Iskandar crafted this set with love and care. The largest container is reserved for satay kuah kacang (peanut sauce dip) and features a sturdy wooden handle for effortless portability. The other containers are designed to hold bamboo skewer sticks and condiments like ketupat (pressed rice cubes), cucumbers, and onions. Each receptacle boasts intricate 'fluted' details - a labor-intensive process that involves producing grooves on the clay surface using a carefully chosen implement. The smaller containers stand out with their decorative nubs or protrusions in the shapes of a square cube, a triangular pyramid, and a round orb.
