D'Penyetz (Downtown East)

Chicken was moist, juicy and tender with crispy crackly thin skin. Tempeh doesn’t have the bitter taste that some tempeh has. Their level 3 (normal) sambal is sweet, but I prefer the savoury or sour kind so didn’t like it. Spice level is indeed “normal”, you should be fine if you have an average spice tolerance. Everything was a bit oily, and other than chicken everything else in the Ayam penyet set was average.

Horrible meal. I overestimated them. Putting together smashed chicken, rice, chilli, tau kwa, tempeh, cucumber and tomato doesn't make ayam penyet. It was a lame attempt. Everything put into my mouth felt like a waste of calories. Unforgivable were the skinny leg and the lack of crisps.

The fried eggs and tofu from D’Penyetz was so good! This heaping mountain consisted of freshly fried tofu wrapped in a sinful layer of deep fried egg. The tofu was really crisp but soft on the inside. The fried egg was quite reminiscent of those deep fried Thai omelettes. And when you pair the two you get a really amazing combination, especially when paired with their sweet peanut sauce.

From mild to dangerously spicy, please choose wisely😂.

Chanced upon this and didn’t know that they have over 120 branches worldwide sia. They even have an outlet at JEM too!

Got their mild level and it’s already pretty spicy for me... Their fried chicken was definitely better than expected. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside😋👍.

The only thing I was disappointed with was their crispy crunch which I ordered extra. I wished they were larger in size...
