Ayam Penyet House

Strolling across Beach Rd towards Raffles Place, we lunched at this basement unit at the traffic junction of Beach Road and Middle Road, in the building of NTUC Income (#B1-01/02).

Ayam Penyet Set ($5.50), Rice ($0.60)

The signature dish, the Ayam Penyet portion is actually quite small with the poultry being a tad dry, while the skin is nice and crisp.

Sayur Asem ($3)

Sayur Asem has mainly Cabbages and Long Beans in the sourish, appetite whetting clear soup. Like Ric, you might enjoy the soft, yet still crunchy peanuts that are sitting at the bottom of the bowl.

Recalling its sourish taste stimulates my salivating yet again.

Terong Penyet, Fried Egg Plants ($3), Rice ($0.60)

We wanted a vegetable dish to share and opted for the Terong that came with the same sides as the meat dish.

Sides include deep fried Tempeh, Beancurb, Cabbages, Cucumbers and a dollop of searingly hot Sambal Chili.

Overall, it's a nice air-conditional environment to dine in comfortable. But if you prefer value for money and much palatable Ayam Penyet, see this stall at ABC Brickworks Market here and here :)
