Ayam Gepuk Pak Gebus @ Keramat, KL, Malaysia.

This place is nuts, the queue, the environment (no aircon), the sambal (even crazier hot), but boy this place serves a wicked ayam penyet.

Menu is self explanatory, first time here we chose set D with the whole works. Then you decide your sambal level, least spiciest(wuss) or medium/normal or max(do it!). Check out how they grind the fresh chillies, yummy!

Servings were good, got a quarter chicken, some liver? lungs? Tauhu, tempe and  the fried cabbage omg sinful but beautiful. I had the normal level of sambal, hits the right spot, sweating profusely in an already hot restaurant.

Their ayam penyet is superb, food is good and pair it with the sambal, umami. I'm definitely coming back here next week.

Restoran Jiang He @ Bukit Bintang, KL, Malaysia.

Fried chicken rice, or chinese style ayam penyet. When I got here, the banner outside was displayed only opens every monday, wednesday and saturday only. Must be good business three biz working days a week. I was informed previously was only two days a week!

Queue was pretty long but it goes by quite fast.

We stick to the basics, fried chicken, some tofu and taugehs.

The fried chicken was to die for, crispy on the outside and moist inside. They do a mean fried chicken here.

Love the tofu and taugehs here, awesome add on to my plate of chicken rice.

Simple comfort food. Definitely a star on my list. Too bad I gotta comply on the opening hours:/

Pondok Pantai Timur @ Ubi, Singapore.

Had to send the bike for service, a very good friend was nice to pick me up from workshop and he kidnapped me here for lunch. Oh my, what a freaking good lunch it was, didn't know there was a makan place here.

The queue was pretty long, but trust me it's damn worth it. Plus the queue goes by quite fast.

We ordered a plate of chicken innards/spare parts to share.

The ayam penyet, nicely pounded chicken thigh lying on a hotbed of umami sambal power. This is seriously good, why didn't I find out this place earlier, grrrrrr.

Ayam Penyet Express @ KL Sentral, Malaysia.

I didn't know about this wing in KL Sentral, and boy was I happy as there's a few eateries here and one of them is Ayam Penyet. So this round before flying back, did a quick stop before taking the train.

They have four types of sambal for you to choose from, love the red sambal. Careful, addictive and super spicy.

Ordered an ayam penyet set, comes with a bowl of soup (a tad oily), tofu and tempeh on the sides, a bit of salad and flattened chicken with crunchy bits on top(yummy!). I like to smother the rice with the thick soya sauce for a bit of sweet, mix in a bit of sambal, both flavours complement each other nicely. Chicken was good, just as I remembered it the last time I had it, guess they have good quality control. The cabbage with a dollop of sambal and eaten on its own, super super delicious. Call it fast food or a franchise, I love this ayam penyet.
