Too bad the chicken in Nasi Lemak berempah not cooked well. Also our order get to the last queue, not sure how they maintain the queue. First and last to try for my family.

Delectable Indonesian dishes with vegetarian selections at affordable price. Smashingly tasty food.

Chicken taste good. Crunchy and juicy but sambal not like ayam penyet signature recipe. Not spicy and feel more like malay cuisine sambal. And sambal portion for take away very less. …

The name is Ayam Penyet Best, but it really isn’t the best. It’s very average, especially for the price, coming from an Indonesian. Everything was too oily, and some of the dishes were quite tasteless. It also didn’t taste very fresh for some reason. I won’t be coming back.

2.50 for plain white rice is actually quite pricey 😅 the quality is just average.. Chicken is dry, so thank goodness they serve me the thigh area. …
