While Warung Pojok Rasa Indo Yati’s Kitchen isn’t exactly a new stall that is located at Old Airport Road Food Centre at this current juncture, the stall is still a relatively young one as compared to some of the more seasoned tenants within the popular food centre. Warung Pojok Rasa Indo Yati’s Kitchen is located at the side of the food centre closer to Blk 39 Jalan Tiga; other establishments that is located within the vicinity of where Warung Pojok Rasa Indo Yati’s Kitchen is located includes that of Arabiano Kebab — a fairly new addition to the food centre serving up Turkish & Mediterranean cuisine. As one can probably figure out from the namesake of the establishment, Warung Pojok Rasa Indo Yati’s Kitchen is an establishment that serves up Indonesian fare — mentioned in the menu just below the signboard of the stall would be the variety of Nasi Ayam dishes alongside Nasi Beef Rendang and Nasi Lemak Chicken Set. Aside from those, Warung Pojok Rasa Indo Yati’s Kitchen also serves up a few noodle dishes, Lontong, as well as a few Nasi Padang dishes that are prominently displayed behind the display case at the counter.
One thing that is rather noteworthy about Warung Pojok Rasa Indo Yati’s Kitchen would be the availability of some renditions of Nasi Ayam that is less common in Singapore but could be found in Indonesia. Between the Nasi Ayam Kremes and the Nasi Ayam Kalasan, we picked the latter — patrons do get a choice to opt between chicken drumstick or chicken breast to be served with the order; we went for the chicken thigh option, while the dish is observed to come with elements such as Sambal Balado, Fried Tempeh, Fried Tofu, slices of cucumbers, cabbage and a bowl of soup on the side. Digging into the Nasi Ayam Kalasan, we did notice that the dish came a little less warm than we would have liked it to be especially given how we had made our order during lunch peak hours on a weekdays. With that being said, the fried chicken here does seem to come with crispy crumbs that is similar to that of the Serunding that typically comes with Ayam Goreng Berempah; light, crisp and not too greasy — all that with a slightly hint of spices. The fried chicken does come with crispy and light fried skin; even lighter than that of what one would expect out of Ayam
Goreng Berempah or even Ayam Penyet — the flesh of the chicken also being especially tender for a Nasi Ayam dish (at least the ones that we are exposed to thus far). It also carries hints of turmeric which is being used in the marination process. The Sambal Balado here is bright and spicy; tickles the tastebuds of those whom are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness but also being slightly saltish enough to bring more flavour to the rice and the fried chicken. Both the the Fried Tofu and Fried Tempeh were good-to-have elements, that were executed above average here; the Fried Tofu managing to keep its moist and soft texture within while the Tempeh was actually quite easy to chew through as well.
