I had Ayam Penyet for dinner today! The first time i tried this dish, i didn't get to try much as i was sharing it with my colleagues (and we ordered a few other dishes too). I decided to order the signature dish at the counter and went to sit down. I didn't wait long for the dish. Like it was served to me within 5-10 minutes.

I didn't wait long for the dish. Like it was served to me within 5-10 minutes. Which is good for me as I was on a 1 hour break and I had wasted time looking for a place to go for dinner.
The Ayam Penyet came with rice, which completes the meal. The skin was crispy (nice!) and the chicken tender and succulent (fantastic!). The chilli sauce was super good. It was so spicy (super shiok!). But spicy till i can only take little bits of it with each mouthful and still end up feeling on fire after eating it. (I didn't try the chilli the first time i came as some of my colleagues don't take chilli. So i am glad i came back for another visit!) Anyway the portion is quite big and so it's worth the price. It also came with some vegetables, fried tofu and others. The meat is plentiful as well so it definitely fills one's stomach nicely. I didn't encounter much bones, which is good. Its easy to eat without having to resort to using hands to peel the chicken into smaller bits.
However i do think their normal drinks like Ice Lemon Tea is a bit overpriced. It tastes like Season's ILT (which i believe so, since i eyed a few 1.5L bottles in the kitchen) and it cost $2.05 for a glass that's half filled with ice.
I went around 5.25pm and the place wasn't very crowded. A bunch of staff were also chatting at the cashiering area. Still, the Ayam Penyet is the star of the show. If you drop by, try their specialty drinks instead of opting for ILT or coffee or tea.
