[CLOSED] Ayam Penyet President (NEX)

It might be wiser to order other dish than catfish (one of us is a flexi-vegetarian and about to go order veg dish already but changed mind last minute.) Quite a struggling eating experience to tuck into lean catfish. Having said that, the fried tofu and bean cake are our favourites in this dish and we could do more heat with chilli paste.
.
We are so happy with our restaurant choice as it is a value eat in NEX and will try Kallan in oyster sauce or Kang kong belachan in our next visit.
.
They have 7 locations islandwide (lucky Plaza, Century Square, hillion, north point, NEX, Kallang wave and JCube)
.
P.S. self-service order system

It might look like a heap of fried up at the top. Dig deep and you will find lots of steamed green goodies: Kang kong, bean sprouts, egg, boiled potato and rice cake. Topped with crackers and sweet peanut sauce which is real addictive!
.
The dish is not to be missed if you like your sides sweet with some crunch or if you are vegetarian. We imagine that we can even skip one of our mains we ordered and straight diving into this! 🏊‍♂️
.
P.S. 🍚 The rice is not included with the mains or sides and one dish of steamed rice is $0.90

This drink is labelled on the menu as Chef recommended. If you are fans of Indonesian food, this avocado juice is always a must order. We love all Super food ingredient and won’t pass this chance to try signature drink. Well worth the price tag 🏷. We don’t know how many avocado 🥑 are used in this operation, but they are not in vein. It was thick & creamy. What an energy booster!! 🤩

Sometimes we just want to have good value eat at NEX (it doesn’t have to be famous like go-ang pratunam chicken rice) OR hippest like Lenas. Just a decent meal that fuel us up for lazy afternoon.😜
.
Looking regal from outside, some would think it must be expensive. 👑 Ayam Penyet serves authentic Indonesian food that look and taste like the menu.
.
First up is ‘Ayam Penyet’, the Chicken skin is crispy served with chilli, tofu, tempeh, cucumber. The chicken texture is done just right. We wish chilli paste could have more power but we shall spare some thought to those who don’t eat spicy food! ☺️🔥🌶

The chicken was tender, not bad for fried chicken breast.

Kangkong was damn spicy

Sweating buckets while eating this, but damn worth the taste.

👍👍

Delicious and sweet satay and grilled fish and grill fish and Keropok. A must try!
