The Ayam Penyek.

This is my first time I ate Ayam Penyet since i moved to KL. It juicy chicken meat hidden behind the crispy layer. With an aroma of spices and a yellowish tinge from the use of turmeric, the chicken was definitely "finger licking good." The secret to their tender meat is they boil it first with the spices then it is taken out. Subsequently it is dipped in flour mixed with spices and deep fried till crisp.


Grilled Chicken with special sauce.



Grilled Fish with special sauce.


Different sauce for your spicy taste buds.

Aside from chicken, they serve Bakso, Empal (fried beef), Bawal Fish, Catfish , Chicken Wings, Tofu and Tempe Penyet. For those of you unfamiliar with the term Penyet, this means "smashed" as the items are smashed with a hammer till the meat is loosened from the bones making it is easier to eat and usually accompanied with deep fried batter bits. A bit of a misnomer as the Bakso wasn't smashed and still remained whole. This dish is said to originate from Surabaya and was popularised in Batam Island.
According to their waiter, the sambal uses belacan imported in from Indonesia hence it is so tasty. Also in the basket which they serve the food in is a small portion of fried tempe and fried tofu. You may try the variety sauce which you may take by yourself. The more the merrier.
 Do give it a try when you're around the area and if you love fried chicken and spicy sambal, this is definitely a place to be.
P/S: I’m stumble with Annuar Zain (Malaysian Celebrity) at the counter. I’m glad i’m taller a bit than him.
