As a Malaysian, eating at De Honey Charcoal Grill truly feels like a taste of home. What makes it even more special is that they make their own honey and use it in their sauces...not only incredibly tasty, but a healthier touch too. The charcoal-grilled satay is spot on: smoky, juicy, and full of the flavours I grew up with. The tau foo fa dessert was silky and comforting, just like how it should be, and the weekend Penang specialities are authentic and nostalgic. It’s rare to find food that hits this close to home. Highly recommended.

Hands down the best satay in Perth. Perfectly grilled over charcoal, incredibly tender, and full of flavour. Sauce is spot on and you can really taste the quality. On top of that, service is quick and they really make you feel like family. So happy De Honey is in Freo now, a foodie dream. This place is an absolute go-to and well worth coming back for.

Perth’s best satay is opening at Old Shanghai Fremantle. Huge win for the area. I’m at the Wembley spot all the time and I’d recommending popping in before word gets around!

Amazing and the best satay in Perth — a must-go place. Rich flavours, perfectly grilled, and absolutely worth coming back for every time.

But let's be honest: the satay is the vehicle, and the satay sauce is the destination. This is where culinary alchemy happens. A legendary sauce is a complex, velvety universe in a bowl. The nutty, creamy backbone of roasted peanuts is harmonised with the tang of tamarind, the sweetness of palm sugar, the heat of chilli, and the aromatic depth of lemongrass and galangal. It should be rich but not cloying, spicy but not aggressive, sweet but not saccharine. It’s a sauce that demands you to dredge, dip, and drizzle it over every available bite—and then some. A great satay sauce doesn't just accompany the meal; it completes it.
