All about Ayam Penyet

Waroeng Penyet

vs

Ayam Penyet AP

vs

Ayam Penyet RIA

My first time tried this Ayam penyet is at Waroeng Penyet @ The Curve Damansara. I like it the first time I tasted the authentic recipe from Indonesia. For me, it's a simple dish but less is more.... the bumbu is very tasty and I like their special sambal.... problem with this Waroeng Penyet is the location. A bit far from my house....

We ordered grilled talapia

 

and of course the main dish .. ayam penyet (flattened chicken)

 

and kangkung masak tumis... thumb up ..

Last few months, I was quite happy to see this restaurant at Seksyen 9 called Ayam Penyet -AP. It was 5 minutes drive from my house.. I was so excited to try it... but after my first visit there... it's not up to my expectations... The crumb doesn't taste the same. I prefer the Ayam Penyet at Warong Penyet... so that is the first and last I ate there.. It could be the spice that makes the taste differs from Waroeng Penyet.

The rice was served together with the chicken... The sambal was not so "kick"....

Yesterday, on the way back from PD, all of us agreed to go to the curve to eat at Waroeng Penyet.. but enche hubby suggested we tried the new Ayam Penyet RIA. It was located at Section 9 Shah Alam too. not far from Ayam Penyet AP... I was 50-50 but enche hubby convinced that the franchise is originally from Batam.... so we went there and yes.... I like the taste.... almost similar or in fact better taste than Waroeng Penyet.... I'm more than happy to have lunch with my kiddos here...

Variety of flattened food to choose but it's not complete if you didn't order the Ayam Penyet itself.

This is the flattened chicken....served with kangkung,timun,kobis, tempe and tauhu plus the super hot sambal.

For a change I ordered Terung penyet as well....

Ayam penyet itself can be a bit dry without a soup. You can just asked for plain soup... but it would be special if you ordered oxtail soup.... very tasty and nice to eat when served hot.

Since everybody in family like the flattened chicken so much.. may be I should try this recipe. Lagipun enche hubby dah banyak kali bagi hint suruh I buat sendiri ayam penyet ni...
