Small Talk: HFB is honoured to be mentioned here along with "some better known bloggers" such as Nirarara, Blinkmummy, Umami, Xueshasha, SimplyJean, DK, Sheylara, EastCoastLife, and Sparklette. It somehow feels surreal to be mentioned in the same breath as them especially Blinkymummy, who is one of HFB's fav blogger.

For the aficionados of Lucky Plaza’s Famous Ayam Penyet Ria, or Indonesian-styled Smashed Fried Chicken, you would be thrilled to know that they have a latest outlet hidden somewhere in the corner of Novena Square 2. Located at basement one next to Harvey Norman, one may access it via the escalator hidden behind SK Jewellery.
To be honest, this is the first time I have eaten Ayam Penyet, as I am more a convert of Ayam Bakar. To order, one gets a slip from counter, look at menu and fill in your orders. Proceed to the counter to pay and food will be served to your table when ready. However, service was found wanting as food was served first to the table next to us even though we arrived much earlier.
It was only a good wait of 20 minutes and two reminders later did our food finally arrived. Nevertheless, all was forgotten as soon as we tucked into the Ayam Penyet Set ($6.50) that consist of the Rice, Fried Chicken, Fried Beancurd, Tempeh (or a popular Javanese Fermented Soybeans in Cake Form), and some serving of boiled Kang Kong along with Sambal Chilli on a Slice of Cucumber. The serving of the chicken thigh is of reasonable size and it’s well fried – the meat ain’t too dry and the skin is crisp.
The sambal chilli is spicily appetising and those that aren’t into zesty stuff however be forewarned – it is HIGHLY SPICED. Therefore, what better way to cool down your palate than to order a personal favourite of energising & sugar-high Happy Soda ($1.80) – a beverage consisting of Cherry-flavoured Soda with Condense Milk.
Fans of Teh Botol Sosro may also grab a bottle for the same price as well.Rating
Food: 4.5/5 (Chicken is well-fried)
Service: 2/5 (Slow service and staff unsure of orders)
Ambience: 3/5 (Newly furnish but crowded and noisy during lunch)
Price: 3.5/5 (Price is affordable but $6.50 for chicken rice and $1.80 is slightly costly)
Total: 13/20
