... and “penyet” means smash in Malay.

The Ayam Penyet that was prepared by Penyet & BBQ stall in Food Republic deserves a special mention for their crispy coat of batter on the outside, yet tender chicken meat on the inside. The smashing process also helped the meat to be more tenderised, so fried chicken lovers will give their two thumbs up for it.

While the rice may cake up sometimes like a Ketupat, I felt that the chilli sauce that accompanies the fried chicken enhances the taste quite a fair bit, because the sauces and chilli sambal are all homemade. The conservative can order an Ayam Penyet Set, while those who loves a spicy kick to the meal can take on the Ayam Balado Set (Fried Chicken with Red Chilli) or Ayam Hijau Set (Fried Chicken with Green Chilli), all three priced at S$6.80 and comes with a portion of rice and a bowl of soup.
