the best ayam penyet in jb has got to be Restoran Banafe’s own nasi ayam penyet.
The chicken is so sooo tender, yet the skin so so crispy.
the service is quite bad, though. Had to wait for more than half an hour for our 2 servings of ayam penyet to be served!

p/s : the restaurant is located right smack in front of New York Hotel @ JB.

[...] it was actually quite hot. Personally, I didn’t think that it was that hot, considering the sambal in Ayam Penyet that I’ve had before. Nevertheless, I liked the chicken very much. The chicken was [...]

Chanced upon this blog while googling for something else. Looking at the entry’s date, this comment might be a tad too late…

Anyways…

Gypsy girl - it’s not malaysian food, it’s indonesian! However I’m not quite sure if it’s Javanese or Sundanese. The raw veggies are definitely typical Sundanese salad called ‘lalap’.

And I don’t think it’s sambal belacan, it’s more like sambal tomat, meaning chilli with fresh tomatoes. If you notice, you’ll often find tomato skins mixed in the sambal, and the taste is sweet, sour and spicy at the same time, typical of sambal tomat.

And what’s too hot for me? don’t know yet. I think i’m getting immune to it. I always have to take extra chilli for ayam penyet (so yummy)! maybe wasabi in a large dose yes, but I think Thai food still wins. Their dishes are consistently more spicy than the whole range of padang dishes (the authentic ones from sumatra, not the nasi padang stalls you see in Singapore).

But I too find myself getting addicted to this dish!!

Hiya Matt,

Haha, yes, spicy foods can be addicting, I think its the rush that you get each time you eat something hot :) And then we keep making it hotter … and hotter … :-)

Eating spicy hot foods is certainly addicting. I constantly find myself trying to find something hotter then anything I’ve ever had before. Yikes! I’ve had some hot stuff!

Thumbelina,

Just one piece of tempe and a few sticks of long beans? Thats so sad. I hope you didnt pay much for that, because thats just too little stuff there!

The bugis restaurant is an interesting place, the stairs go down instead of up, and you can see people's feet walking outside as you have your meal hehehe :) Changi is a tad bit too err ... far for me, but I might ride my scooter there if I'm adventurous enough!

Gypsy girl,

Its delicious :) I love it!

But can you take hot food? Because the kick is in the extra hot sambal belacan. If its mild, there's no power to it, And you know what? Who knows, this dish will be so popular that even in Dubai, they serve it. :D

Myztika,

Changi Village? Hmm ... Since you and thumbelina recommended it, then maybe I'll give it a try, with a ride on my scooter ala seetoh from makansutra ... heehehe

You know, ironically, the hottest thing I ate wasnt sambal belacan. Instead it was this fateful day when I made a trip to the sushi shop and in my box, I noticed this green paste. I sniffed it. It didnt smell heaty. It looked creamy, so innocently, I took a dollop of the creamy thing and put it in my mouth to taste it.

For a full minute I cant see anything, there was literaly smoke coming out of my nose and my mouth was screaming.

That was my first time eating wasabi. Its such a hard lesson learnt :|
