One of my favorite restaurants at the Curve is Waroeng Penyet that serves the pretty unique ayam penyet (flattened fried chicken) that was completely new to me only slightly over a year ago. I have been there quite a few times since but always loath the idea of having to brace the traffic and having to pay parking to get my favorite Indonesian food.
So when I spotted this place on the way home after a round of hitting golf balls everywhere at the Sunway driving range, I immediately suggest to Horng that we should just have our dinner there.
clean and air conditioned interior
The set up of Ayam Penyet AP is just a notch above your normal kopitiam. There are a few tables alfresco style for those who might want to have puff after meal, and also plenty of tables for those who prefer air conditioning. The restaurant is clean and comfortable tho there isn’t any effort being put in interior decoration.
The menu here is a bit more extensive compared to Waroeng Penyet, other than the standard Ayam penyet, they have beef, cat fish, prawn, bakso (beef ball), mixed vegetable, and a few types soups too.
ayam penyet, ikan penyet (keli), and terung penyet
We ordered ayam penyet, lele penyet (keli, cat fish), and terong penyet (eggplant) to go with two rice for dinner.
The ayam penyet (I had the drumstick) was just as tasty as their counterpart at the Curve. Crispy, flavorful, and with that very addictive hot sambal. I also like the fact that they give more crispy bits.
The deep fried cat fish too was not bad in its own, very aromatic and soft in texture. And as a person who loves eggplant, I absolutely adore the terung penyet. The crispy bits and sambal works very well with the contrasting soft texture of fried eggplant. Very delicious.
satisfying dinner
Ayam penyet was priced at RM 7 (already the most expensive item in their menu!), the fish was RM 6.50, and eggplant only RM 2.50. Two plates of rice at RM 1.20 each and you have a very satisfying dinner for way less than RM 20.00!
I am sure this is one of the places I would visit repeatedly.
you can see Ayam Penyet AP from LDP just before heading up to the suspension bridge.
Other than Mentari, they have another outlet at Subang Jaya (No. 74, GF, Jln SS15/4, Subang), and Bangi (No. 9, GF, Jln 15/1D, Section 15, 43650 Bandar Baru Bangi) as well.

Big Boys Oven,
This place feels a bit more “authentic” and of course, quite a bit cheaper.

By Enoch on Mar 24, 2009 | Reply
tried it already… at least in my opinion, nowhere near as good or tasty as the one at the Curve.
I think the one at the Curve has more variety too as they have grilled items like satay and grilled fish which are absent from this joint. Everything here is either fried or souped :p

By iniemailgue on Sep 7, 2009 | Reply
Elmyra is correct, before AP was better then Ria, but since AP open 4 branches, their food quality went down the hill, not as good as before. Seems like the cook so many chicken and use less seasoning. All their cooking is centralized at sunway mentari, other branches just get the chicken and fry it.
By KY on Sep 7, 2009 | Reply
iniemailgue,
So i suppose the AP at Mentari will still be ok?
By iniemailgue on Sep 9, 2009 | Reply
KY,
Depends on who is cooking that day, seriously, If the indonesian cook back to indonesia, then the taste will be off also. Last year, during the raya, I went to their first outlet in SS 15, the sambal taste was off, I ask the cashier, she said, Yes….we know….because the indonesian cook went back for raya. hahahaha…..
