Joseph MTProject Penyek by Ansar – A Slam Dunk for Indonesian Soul Food at Senja Hawker Centre If you are a fan of bold Indonesian flavours, Project Penyek by Ansar at Senja Hawker Centre deserves a spot on your food trail. Located at the heart of Bukit Panjang’s newest culinary hotspot, this halal-certified stall has been drawing steady queues since opening, and after tasting their signature dish, it is easy to see why . Location: #02-17, 2 Senja Close, Singapore 677632 (Senja Hawker Centre) Hours: 10:30 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed on Sundays) The Food: Crispy, Juicy, and Packing Heat The undisputed star here is the Nasi Ayam Penyet. True to its name ("penyet" means "smashed" in Indonesian), the dish arrives with a beautifully fried chicken drumstick that has been gently crushed to allow the flavours to meld with the sides. The frying is executed perfectly—the chicken skin is incredibly crispy and shatters with every bite, while the meat underneath remains remarkably tender and juicy . However, the soul of this dish is undoubtedly the sambal. This is not a meek, sugary sambal meant for the faint-hearted. It is potent, deep, and carries a serious kick that builds with every mouthful. It cuts through the richness of the fried chicken beautifully and pairs perfectly with the fragrant white rice. While the Nasi Ayam Penyet is the crowd favourite, the stall also offers variety for return visits, including beef and fish versions for those looking for an alternative to chicken . The Heritage What adds to the appeal is the stall's backstory. Project Penyek isn't a fly-by-night operation; it originated from the legendary ABC Brickworks food centre, where it built a reputation for maintaining high standards. It is great to see them bring that same quality to the heart of Bukit Panjang . Verdict Project Penyek by Ansar is a fantastic representation of modern hawker culture in Singapore—a heritage recipe executed with consistency and a loyal following. Whether you are a resident of the area or making a trip specifically to try Senja Hawker Centre, this stall at #02-17 is a must-try. Just be prepared to queue, and maybe have a cold drink ready for that powerful sambal. Rating: 4.5/5 Recommendation: Go for the Nasi Ayam Penyet. Ask for extra sambal if you dare.
