Satay Street: Every night at 7 p.m., Boon Tat Street transforms into Singapore's largest outdoor barbecue.

Dinner time: The action centers around 10 satay hawkers who serve up grilled meats in all styles and flavors.

Satay sizzle: "Its openness, the smell, the smoke rising is free," Abrahim Allaudin, a second-generation stall owner, tells CNN. "There's nothing else like this in Singapore."

Do it right: From 7 p.m. to midnight, diners can choose from an array of platters. Your clothes should still smell of smoke the next day, if you're doing it right.

Traditional taste: Singapore's satay scene recalls a time before the city's rapid modernization.

Street seats: Cars take a detour, while street food vendors set up tables and chairs in the street, choreographed like a Broadway production.

A communal BBQ: As the Tiger beer flows and satay sizzles, the Satay Street experience is like a family affair, where everyone feels at home.
