What is ayam penyet
Ayam penyet is a traditional Indonesian cuisine which originates from Surabaya. It is a popular chicken dish where the fresh chicken is specially marinated with various spices and herbs . The meat is then smashed with a wooden headed hammer and deep fried until golden light brown. One of the unique feature in preparing this funny name dish is the art of frying where it is crispy from outside and juicy inside. The other dishes served here are traditional Indonesian food which are also popular in Singapore and Indonesia. Our signature dish, Ayam penyet-AP is served as a set. You get a quarter crispy chicken, a piece each of fried beancurd and tempe, some boiled kangkong, fresh cabbage, blazing hot sambal belachan and bits of crunchy golden brown fried fritter topping on the chicken.

Like I said, I was in love with sour plum drinks before this (I think the craze has toned down a bit recently), so that pretty much explains the existence of sour plum pearl drink (background) in the picture below. The green one is Honeydew flavour; which I personally wouldn't order it in any situations because I've always thought it tastes like medicine :|
Ayam rendang; 4.5/5The meat was soft and tender!
Gravy was just perfect to my liking as well.
Ayam penyet; 4/5Despite the small portion, it was crispy and flavourful, but the meat was slightly dried.
