Ayam Penyet Ria (Lucky Plaza)

Ayam Penyet Ria is an Indonesian restaurant chain specialising in Ayam Penyet (Smashed Fried Chicken). The restaurant is halal certified. The restaurant is located in Lucky Plaza, Far East Plaza, Jurong Point and Bedok Mall. In Lucky Plaza, it is located at two different levels, at level 1 and at level 4. I visited the outlet located at level 4 (which was bigger) on a weekday.

 There was ample seating place as the restaurant occupied three units. 

There was even an area where customers could wash their hands before or after their meals. 

Ayam Penyet $7.40 and Lime Juice $2.05

I ordered the Ayam Penyet $7.40 and Lime Juice $2.05.

Ayam Penyet $7.40 

The Ayam Penyet $7.40 comprised of a plate of plain rice and a plate filled with half a smashed chicken, kangkong, fried beancurd, beancake, raw cabbage and cucumber, batter crumbs and sambal chilli. 

Ayam Penyet $7.40 

The batter skin of the smashed chicken was quite good. The interior was a little too dry on some parts. The sambal chilli was incredibly spicy yet addictive. It complemented the chicken well. It would be good to order a drink in advance such as Lime Juice to help ease the spiciness. The other ingredients such as kangkong, fried beancurd and beancake were ordinary.

At its current price, I doubt I will be back anytime soon.

While waiting for your food, you can snack on these complimentary crackers. Its very addictive, once you start, you can’t stop.

Rice

Nasi Ayam Penyet

The Ayam Penyet came separately from the rice. It is very crispy on the outside. Inside, the meat is soft and tender. The chicken meat is quite fresh. It was not very oily too. The sambal chilli is spicy, wish that more sambal chilli was given. This is my 2nd time eating here, the first time, I felt that the chicken was too small and it was on the oily side. This 2nd time, I felt that it was actually quite nice, in fact was syiok(shiok)!

Certainty a place to recommend to your friends to come and try. The location is quite ulu, but despite that, it can get crowded at times (during lunchtime).
