If you're craving authentic Indonesian comfort food, this restaurant is a spot worth checking out. The word penyetan comes from the Indonesian method of lightly smashing (penyet) fried dishes and serving them with bold, fiery sambal.
They're especially famous for their fried chicken, which is crispy, juicy and perfectly paired with their house-made sambal that packs a serious punch. You can choose from varieties of sambal like sambal bawang, sambal terasi, sambal kecap and more. Sambal lovers will feel right at home here.
One absolute must-try is their durian cendol drink - rich, sweet and indulgent. It's a real treat for durian fans. For mains, the iga bakar (grilled beef ribs) is another standout. It's so tender, smoky and full of flavour. If you're in the mood for variety, they also offer other menu options like fried fish and comforting soups, making it easy to please everyone at the table.
The restaurant itself is not very big and it gets extremely busy during peak hours. They don't take reservations, so queues are common and the wait can get pretty mad if you arrive late. My tip? Come early to secure a seat and avoid a long wait.
