Came to take out and wanted to order the chicken skin that was displayed. However, the staff told me, 'No ma'am, I'm alone and can't do it. I'm only able to do it in the afternoon.' I was taken aback. If you are alone or short-staffed, then don't put up the sign.

The ayam penyet at this restaurant is commendable. It boasts crispy skin and tender meat, a delightful combination. Unfortunately, the beef penyet falls short. The meat is too dry and tough, detracting from the dining experience. The area that needs improvement is the service. Despite the restaurant being half empty, guests are not allowed to choose their tables. This lack of flexibility can be frustrating for diners. In summary, the ayam penyet shines, but the beef penyet and service could use some adjustments.

The fried eggplant was not nice and very oily. The chicken leg ayam penyet was nice, but there was less meat.

Taste-wise, it's average for penyet. We picked the top 2 levels of chili, which were supposedly ranked by spiciness, but we didn't find them spicy. There didn't seem to be much difference between the skin of my special grilled chicken and the one my husband ordered. However, we agreed that the level 5 chili tasted nicer than the level 6 chili.

The smashed ayam penyet, which cost me $9.20, was surprisingly small. The picture on the menu showed a much larger portion. The bone took up more space than the actual chicken. Additionally, the two tau kwa pieces tasted sour. Overall, I had a bad dining experience here. There are many other more affordable and worthwhile food options available nearby.

It's a bit pricey, but everything is expensive these days, hahaha. Anyway, it was a good ayam geprek!

First customer of the day! The chicken was fresh and tender, and the different chillis were amazing. The staff were also very friendly and the service was good.

When the nearby food court lacks halal options, this place is a good alternative. The lunch set offers good value, though other dishes might be a bit pricier. I ordered the Indomie with a drink, and it cost over $10 (you might find better deals elsewhere). The service was fast and the staff were friendly, but be prepared to queue as seats are usually full during peak hours.

Finally dared to try this Penyet place as 1) it's usually quite empty, and 2) we hadn't really felt up to eating a boatload of fried stuff in one sitting. Turns out, it's surprisingly good! The Tahu Telor is a must-try for all! It's so difficult to get this dish nowadays at your neighbourhood hawker as it's quite labour-intensive to make. Soft tofu cubes are deliciously coated in a big mound of egg, the tastiest parts being the flossy burnt ends. Add in a generous heaping of beansprouts, julienned cucumbers and carrots in a tangy kicap manis sauce. The peanut gravy was served separately, so you can control the amount of sauce/sweetness you want in your dish. We usually cannot finish a Tahu Telor, but as this didn't feel as oily and heavy, finishing it was a breeze. There wasn't a lot of oil leftover on the plate either. The Sour Vegetable Soup is good as an appetizer or palate cleanser between heavy dishes. Cabbages, long beans, turnips, and peanuts were simmered in a sweet-sour broth with flavours of tamarind, galangal, turmeric, and shallots. It was refreshing, but I found the peanuts undercooked and rather crunchy. Not sure whether I love or hate nuts done as such. The Fried Pomfret was quite basic; it was lightly battered in some turmeric cornstarch and served with Spice Level 5 Fiery Chili. This dark-coloured chili gives quite a good punch, unblocking my blocked nose, but it was not strong enough to mask the fishiness of the fish. I felt that the pomfret was not super fresh, as I could taste some staleness near its belly portion. Lastly, we had the Mozzarella Smashed Chicken cutlet. The chicken meat was really tender and not dry at all. The bits of flour coating hanging on it were flavourfully soaked with mozzarella cheese, which was thrown atop the chicken and lightly torched before serving. We chose a Level 1 Sweet Chili to be served with it. This chili is great for beginning spice eaters as it's super smooth and sweet with an oniony taste. The smashed fried duck came off easily when poked with a fork. We tried the Level 3 Shrimp Paste chili with it, and the pairing turned out heavenly. I found the Level 3 chili a little sweeter than expected, but it was well received by the others. The Honey Marinated Beef Ribs were also thoroughly pre-simmered to achieve tenderness. Although the meat grain was slightly stringy and tough, the sweet kicap manis marinade made the dish whet up a good appetite and made it easier to swallow. The Level 2 Green Chili was one of the least sweet chilies, with aromatic notes of coriander and green pepper. The Teh Tarik Kosong Ice is really rich and good. It was full-bodied with vanilla notes and a rich, milky mouthfeel. It's a nice place to overindulge and grab a deep-fried dinner. Cleanliness of the place could be improved; there were strands of hair and bits of batter on the benches we chose. Will revisit to try more dishes! Total damage: $37-42 for 3 pax

One of the better Ayam Penyet I've tried. Whenever we have a craving, we drop by this branch. Their Tahu Telor is a must-try, and the Teh Tarik is good. However, recently I've noticed the chicken and fish portions seem to have shrunk. Inflation perhaps???
