Located at Changi Village Hawker Centre, Hafiz Nasi Ayam Penyet brings the beloved Indonesian tradition of smashed fried chicken to Singapore eastern shores. Operating from stall 01-27 at 2 Changi Village Road, this Malay cuisine stall serves up one of Indonesia most popular comfort foods - ayam penyet, where crispy fried chicken is dramatically smashed before serving to break up the crispy skin and tender meat, then paired with fiery sambal, fresh vegetables, and fragrant rice.
The stall menu extends beyond their signature ayam penyet to include other hawker favourites like Kway Teow Seafood, catering to the diverse tastes of Changi Village residents and visitors. The halal-certified establishment aims to deliver the authentic flavours of Indonesian cooking in the casual, accessible setting of a neighbourhood hawker centre.
While customer experiences vary - with some praising the crispy, flavourful chicken topped with goreng crispies, and others noting inconsistencies in preparation - Hafiz Nasi Ayam Penyet continues to serve the Changi Village community with affordable Indonesian comfort food. The stall represents the easternmost option for those seeking ayam penyet without venturing into the city centre, making it a convenient choice for residents in the Changi, Pasir Ris, and Tampines areas.
