When I can't decide on what to eat, my foolproof plan would always be to go to Ayam Penyet Ria at Lucky Plaza. Their Empal Penyet has to be one of the most favourite dish of mine. Even if I were to have it more then 5 times a week, I will never get tired of it.The Empal (Beef) is nicely smashed (Penyet), it may give the illusion of looking quite tough as the outer layer looks dark and quite hard but it is in fact, surprisingly easy to cut into the meat which looks like it's slightly shredded.

The Empal (Beef) is nicely smashed (Penyet), it may give the illusion of looking quite tough as the outer layer looks dark and quite hard but it is in fact, surprisingly easy to cut into the meat which looks like it's slightly shredded. I think they may have mixed in a bit of herbs or spices into it to make it more savoury. The meat is nicely cooked and tender and when mixed with their homemade sambal, the whole taste was fantastic.
Their homemade sambal is very spicy though but as I'm into spicy food, it was a breeze n would as for extra sambal however those with low spice tolerance can request for sweet dark sauce to counter the taste. I don't really eat greens but my husband has said that their kangkong, tempeh n tofu which comes with the beef and rice is not too salty if abit soggy.
The place gets crowded during the normal peak hours (lunch, dinner and over the weekend) so expect to wait awhile if you decide to go there. Their service was so-so maybe because as the place is always busy and the staff seems rush and harried but all in all the meal was worth the wait.
