Figures checked against the Health Promotion Board (HPB) Singapore food database on 25 October 2026. These are HPB figures for the closest Singapore dish, not measurements taken in Malaysia. Each figure is HPB's per-100 g value x HPB's portion weight x HPB's edible portion.
Satay sticks without sauce
This page shows HPB Singapore's chicken, beef and mutton satay, by the stick. Each row is HPB's default portion of 1 stick, with its weight in the Portion column. The kcal per 100 g column is HPB's own per-100 g value. All figures are for one stick. Rows are sorted by kcal per stick, highest first.
| Satay | Portion | kcal | kcal per 100 g | Carbs | Sugar | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mutton satay | 1 stick, 10.94 g | 33 kcal | 303 kcal | 1.9 g | 1.9 g | 46 mg |
| Beef satay | 1 stick, 11.9 g | 27 kcal | 223 kcal | 2.4 g | 2.4 g | 61 mg |
| Chicken satay | 1 stick, 10 g | 23 kcal | 227 kcal | 1.8 g | 1.6 g | 54 mg |
Of the 3 sticks without sauce, mutton has the most kcal, 33 kcal for a 10.94 g stick, followed by beef at 27 kcal for an 11.9 g stick and chicken at 23 kcal for a 10 g stick. Per 100 g, mutton also has the most, 303 kcal per 100 g, against 227 kcal for chicken and 223 kcal for beef.
Satay sticks with peanut sauce
HPB has separate rows for chicken, beef and mutton satay served with peanut sauce.
| Satay | Portion | kcal | kcal per 100 g | Carbs | Sugar | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken satay with sauce | 1 stick, 27 g | 57 kcal | 211 kcal | 5.6 g | 2.7 g | 118 mg |
| Mutton satay with sauce | 1 stick, 19 g | 48 kcal | 255 kcal | 3.7 g | 2.3 g | 75 mg |
| Beef satay with sauce | 1 stick, 21 g | 45 kcal | 213 kcal | 4.5 g | 2.9 g | 95 mg |
The sticks with sauce weigh 27 g, 21 g and 19 g, so each carries a different amount of satay and sauce. This page does not rank them against each other.
Satay sauce and ketupat
HPB also lists satay sauce and ketupat as separate rows. HPB describes satay sauce as a rich peanut-based dipping sauce with spices and ketupat as a Malay-style rice dumpling.
| Item | Portion | kcal | kcal per 100 g | Carbs | Sugar | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Satay sauce | 1 tablespoon, 15 g | 30 kcal | 202 kcal | 3.3 g | 0.9 g | 56 mg |
| Ketupat | 1 whole, 95 g | 87 kcal | 92 kcal | 19.8 g | HPB lists none | 4 mg |
HPB lists no sugar figure for ketupat, so that cell reads "HPB lists none".
What HPB's satay rows contain
HPB describes the chicken satay as barbequed, skinless, boneless chicken skewered on a stick, the beef satay as grilled marinated beef skewers and the mutton satay as barbequed skewered mutton seasoned in spices. The rows with sauce are served with peanut sauce or peanut gravy. HPB has no row for a satay set with ketupat and cucumber, so the stick, sauce and ketupat figures above are separate.
