Super solid ayam cabe hijau. Must try. Soft rice, curry over rice got lemak taste. The chicken is tender and the green chilli is spicy. A satisfying meal.

One of my go-to places when I'm craving chicken or beef penyet. The dishes are so delicious, especially when they give a lot of gravy! They recently shifted the stall towards the back of the kopitiam. My heart sank thinking it was gone, but luckily, it's not!

Ordered ayam penyet for takeaway during dinner time. As it was packed in sealed box, the chicken wasn’t as crispy when I had it at home but it’s still acceptable. Nonetheless the curry added to the rice was a nice touch as you don’t often …

Love the food here. Ayam was crispy on the outside, soft in the inside and flavourful. Green chilli was super yum. You can add on vegs. The rice is fluffy and the sambal is spicy.
