D'Penyetz

Nasi Penyet (SGD $9.50, $16.50) @ D'Penyetz. . Founded in 2009 by Indonesian entrepreneur Edy Ongkowijaya, this casual dining Singaporean eatery has expanded globally to 5 countries. They are best known for their 9 increasingly spicy levels of sambal, and their wide variety of chicken, beef, fish, and duck dishes. . Their meals are served with fluffy moist steamed white rice with grainy earthy sweet flavour, juicy crunchy vegetables (cherry tomato, cucumber) with vegetal sweet flavour, spongy soft deep-fried tofu bean curd with grainy earthy savoury flavour, firm dense tempeh / fermented soy bean cake with nutty earthy savoury flavour, and a choice of 1 of 9 levels of sambal. I usually default to the sambal terasi / pounded fermented shrimp chili paste of level 3, with its sharp sour tangy zesty spice flavour. . Their marinated deep-fried and smashed chicken thigh with drumstick is juicy and tender with meaty savoury salty spice flavour. Their marinated deep-fried and smashed tilapia fish is tender and flaky with salty savoury spice flavour. They offer complementary stewed vegetables soup, with soft tender cabbage and carrots within, carrying vegetal sweet spice flavour.

Saw a beef ribs video on TT and suddenly got a craving, so I decided to order this.Was honestly excited for it,but damn.kinda disappointed. The meat was really tough and chewy, barely any rib bone,almost no fat,and just felt like a big chunk of solid meat.I was expecting the ribs to be tender and juicy, but this was the complete opposite.Worst part is,that was literally the only money I had left.should’ve just saved it

We had a delightful experience! We were a 24 pax party, who were there for our mom"s birthday. Did pre-ordering as we were a big group.. The team got it all correct, out on time. Dealt with additional orders on site with great ease. The power went out as they were getting lunch out but no one flustered. Everyone dealt with it calmly. The cake came out with a birthday song by the team. They didn't have small plates for the birthday cake but made make shift bowls out of disposable styrofoam boxes. Which was just perfectly imperfect because that's what being a big family is all about. It was truly a family restaurant.

Vegetarian options are very limited. One of the few choices was the sweet & sour soup, which contained only a small amount of vegetables. The soup itself was very watery and spicy, more like a broth than an actual soup. For those who do not eat meat, the selection is minimal and not particularly appealing. There are better options elsewhere for vegetarians.

Nothing wow about food. It's decent. My honest opinion? Ayam penyet Ria is still way better hands down. Price wise, slightly overpriced for the quality & quantity. I got the Indomie + additional fried chicken. Guess what, the indomie portion is so ridiculous. Just because you add a friend chicken, they reduced the indomie portion by 3/4 to accommodate the fried chicken! Nonsense business strategy considering I have to top up $5 extra for the fried chicken. Chicken quality wise, it feels like the chicken was prepared in the morning and was re-fried when I placed my order. You definitely know when the chicken is re-fried due to the dryness and chicken skin texture. Overall, it's a place I would probably not come back to unless they improve on food quality & portion.

Super damn late .. no sense of urgency

Had their ayam penyet with bakso fried ball the chilli was very nice and spicy authenthic chilli. Enjoyed my meal

It was my first time dining here, and I received a warm welcome from the staff. The food was delicious, and both Rina and Siti were incredibly friendly and helpful. Rina patiently assisted me with my payment because I was using a mall promotion discount, and I really appreciated her kindness and professionalism. Despite being busy packing prawn crackers and serving a steady flow of customers, both staff members kept smiling and provided excellent service. Another thing that impressed me was how fast the food was served—I received my order within just a few minutes. Thank you, Rina and Siti, for making my day with your wonderful hospitality. Wishing you both and the team all the best!
