Because today was Mother's Day, we brought mum out for lunch at the Ayam Penyet Indonesian Restaurant near Joo Chiat for lunch. I ordered the Ayam Penyet, Gado-Gado and Kerupok Udang and Emping for them.
The first time I heard of this chain of eatery was when an Indonesian friend brought me to the main eatery in Lucky Plaza. That time, we ordered Ayam Penyet (aka Smashed Chicken aka Squashed Chicken aka Depressed Chicken), Milo Dinosaur and Gado Gado. I remember falling in love with that place because the food is really good!
The Joo Chiat branch is infinitely inferior to the main one at Lucky Plaza. It is a smaller eatery with simple decorations, not as authentically Indonesian as the Lucky Plaza branch. The food is not as good too.
In any case it was a very filling lunch. One pull factor is the price. Despite everything I ordered, it cost just S$20.00 for all three of us! My mum said it is really worth it because the food is nice, inexpensive and filling at the same time. I am just glad that she enjoyed the meal!
