Thai's using gas grillers...  Oh well, all good things come to an end at some point..   I've not been back for a few years now but when I was there... Wow... That Satay was well good.   I'd like to see a picture of their gas version..
Today I cooked my two Chicken Satays from the two marinades I made up with help from Michael but could be bothered in the end to cook in both Tandoor and BBQ so kelt it simple and stuck them both in the Tandoor.   Result was good. Both tasted very Thai with a strong flavour Indian Tandoor!  I suppose I should be surprised but I was.  I plated both up together on a sizzler...   Follows a couple of pics...   I'd def do again.

Thought you would have got that satay recipe sussed by now Stuartnewport. Im sure I have seen those pics on the Puri website donkeys years ago. Always wondered what that yellow stuff was on the skewers.
Im off to Thailand in the next couple of weeks and look forward to checking the chicken satay out. I have also been using Admins reicpe for red curry paste with excellent results - especially since I discovered Thai Basil in Waitrose the other day. Bloody Lovely!

Regards

Very astute Mr. Mickdabass.... The truth is I wasn't very happy with the flavour back then except one time when it was amazing, although the pictures couldn't share that! I tried and tried again, got very pi...ed off with myself for not making a note of the "one time perfect Satay" then promptly GAVEUP until I found this site which inspired me to try again, and I'm glad I did...   I think I got I right on the first attempt.  As they say:  if at first you don't succeed, try, try again (but have a long break in between to clear the head! Lol). 
Re: going to Thailand... Well jel mate.  Where abouts you going?  Have you seen the new chef on here from the  "curry shack"
I hope you find a local to extract the recipe for the Yellow Thai Satay marinade !  I'm so serious about it that if sweet talking, blackmail or thumb screws don't work then I'm prepared to go 50/50 with you on backhander!!!

Thanks for these two recipes Mick.  I will cook them when the weather sorts itself out.  I'm still suffering from last Sunday's cook up when I nearly froze to death in the garden.   They are filed safely filed away an in hard copy.   Many thanks.
PS.  There's plenty of wifi in Thailand so look forward to many reports back,

Mr. ELW.    What an amazing find!!!   
Those two links are just "gold".   I haven't checked out many yet, just the obvious ones ie. Pad Thai and they are just what I hoped they'd be so I'm sure the others will be on par...  I'll be putting on the pounds during this summers cooking in the garden.... Cheers a lot.
