Ayam Penyet Ria serves up solid, dependable Indonesian comfort food. The chicken is fried well with standard, reliable taste and crispy batter bits. A fair warning for spice lovers: the sambal chili packs serious, fiery heat and really brings the dish together. Spotted their weekday special running from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM for $8.90, including white rice (options like smashed chicken, boneless fried chicken, dory fillet, or tiger prawns) with a $1 drink add-on, making it great value for a late lunch. The outlet is clean, bright, and comfortable for a quick, no-fuss meal.
Previously was Ayam Penyet President, before it always ever-changing from eatery to eatery. Chili was good, spicy but not yet the level I prefer it to be and had tastes in other similar places. Grilled duck in this preparation is definitely not my taste choice.
Ayam bakar had a nice grilled aroma and decent flavor, but the seasoning was a bit mild. The chicken breast was slightly dry in some parts, while the chicken leg was tasty overall. The accompanied chilli was spicy and tangy with limes, paired well with the meal. Satay tasted like merely heated up from frozens, won’t recommend at all.
