Makan Makan brings authentic Indonesian cuisine to Marina Square, operating as part of the D'Penyetz Group, a well-established ayam penyet franchise across Singapore. Located at 6 Raffles Boulevard, this halal-certified restaurant makes Indonesian favourites accessible in the heart of the Marina Bay shopping and entertainment district.
The menu centres on classic Indonesian dishes with their specialty being ayam penyet - the beloved smashed fried chicken that has become synonymous with Indonesian dining. The preparation involves frying chicken until crispy, then smashing it to release flavours before serving with sambal and fresh vegetables. This theatrical presentation and intense flavours have made ayam penyet a signature dish across the D'Penyetz chain.
Beyond chicken, the Iga Bakar Kecap (grilled beef ribs) showcases Indonesian grilling techniques, with tender ribs glazed in sweet soy sauce that caramelises during cooking. The Thai Sauce Fried Beancurd has earned particular praise as a standout dish, demonstrating the kitchen's ability to execute vegetarian options with the same attention given to meat dishes. The Ice Happy Soda, an Indonesian beverage, provides refreshing accompaniment to the rich, flavourful mains.
Operating daily from 11am to 3pm and 5pm to 9pm, the restaurant serves both lunch and dinner crowds drawn from Marina Square's shoppers, office workers, and tourists. The split timing allows the kitchen to maintain freshness while accommodating peak meal periods. The central location and halal certification make it a convenient option for Muslim diners and anyone exploring Indonesian cuisine in a comfortable, modern setting.

The rice served here for the ayam penyat is actually chicken rice and not the usual white rice; it's quite fragrant and tasty. The chilli is very spicy but goes well with the chicken and rice. The soup is tasty too, but served in a very small bowl.

My ayam penyet came with only a teaspoon of sambal, and the indo mee was a bit bland, perhaps overcooked or lacking sauce.

Came here with my wife. The two of us ordered Set B. The quantity was generous and good for 3 people. The Mee Goreng tasted very authentic. The Penyet was soft and crispy, and the Bakar was very well marinated. Will return for more!

Pleasantly surprised by the yummy food here. The restaurant wasn't busy when we visited, and there was generous seating available. The staff were helpful and efficient. We ordered the Hainanese Chicken Rice, which was not bad at all, but the Ayam Bakar was outstanding. The charred aroma was clearly evident, and the sambal was also great. Would definitely come back again.
