A while back, I brought the folks to Seah Im Food Centre to try out the lor mee from Shi Ji Noodle Stall.
After our meal, Mum spotted the next table having the ayam penyet from Farasha Muslim Stall. Tempted by what we saw, we ordered one set to share among the three of us.
The name ayam penyet translates as "smashed chicken" which means the chicken is flattened by smashing after being fried to a crisp. I have actually seen the stall at NUH's food court using a mallet.
A dish of Indonesia origins, I have eaten ayam penyet quite a number of times, but it is the first for them.
The ayam penyet ($5) here comes with a chicken leg, cucumber, raw cabbage, a cube of tau kwa, a piece of thumb-length tempeh and sambal. The rice and soup are served separately on another plate.
