The food and beverage industry have changed at a very fast pace where food is an abundance in Singapore. Especially the restaurants along Liang Seah street, we have seen different F&B outlets moving in and out of the shop house spaces on the ground floor. Recently, Waroeng Penyet along with Swirl Art have taken over the existing space where Crystal Jade steamboat was located.
Daniel and I headed to Waroeng Penyet for dinner, which is the only branch in central Singapore as well as the only air-conditioned halal cafe along the stretch of Liang Seah street.
If you?re thinking that the Chicken Satay (Sate Ayam - $6) served here are the usual ones at our local food center, you will be in for a surprise. The satay here are topped with peanut gravy with the sweet black grill sauce to give it an extra savoury taste.
With a squeeze of lime and mixing the satay well with the gravy, this is sure so irresistible. I love this delicious satay and this is sure great to go around the table!
If you love something more flavoursome, the Grilled Beef Balls (Bakso Bakar - $4.90) is another fantastic bite on the menu to chew into. The juicy and succulent beef balls topped with black sweet sauce and chili padi, be ready for some bombastic experience on your palate. It doesn?t have any beefy taste and the beef balls are sure very addictive.
After the appetizers, it?s time to try the signature Javanese vegetable dish. The Indo Salad with Peanut Sauce (Gado Gado - $4.90) is one of the dish you can?t miss on the menu. The Gado Gado consist of rice cakes, vegetable salad, egg, different types of crackers and topped with peanut gravy. This dish can be eaten alone as a meal or shared around. I love this Gado Gado as the serving of crackers are very generous.
For those who love Indonesian grill dishes, you can try the Grilled Chicken (Ayam Panggang - $6). The Bali style grilled dishes here are best served with the sweet Indonesian sauce and a hint of lime. The lightly charred chicken skin adds a smoky savoury sensation to the chicken. Pretty delicious with the juicy meat underneath those golden grilled skin!
There have been a lot of hype over whose Ayam Penyet is the most original in Singapore. Over here, the Flattened Fried Chicken (Ayam Penyet - $6) is prepared their own unique way. Maybe that explains why the chicken isn?t as flat as the other ayam penyet I have tried elsewhere. However, the moisture of the chicken is lock within the crispy layer, giving it a succulent taste and texture. How can you not have their home-made chilli to go along with this delightful fried chicken? It taste simply gorgeous!
This is something you don?t come across often, the Flattened Fried Beef (Daging Empal Penyet - $6) wasn?t what I expected. Initially, I thought that the fried beef will be very tough, dry with the beefy taste. To my surprise, the meat of it was soft and tender to the bite. The tasty beef is almost as good at the ayam penyet! It?s my first time trying this and I am sure to come back for it again!
After a satisfied meal, it?s best to wash it down with the Ice Cucumber Juice (Es Timun - $2) as it helps to cool the body down. This is a perfect and refreshing drink to chill from the heat of the day too!
There are so many more delicious dishes at Waroeng Penyet such as Flattened Fried Catfish (Lele Penyet), Java Chicken Soto Soup (Soto Ayam) and Bandung Mixed Fish Dumpling (Siomay Bandung)! Looks like I have to come back again to try these. Not to forget, their Avocado Juice too!
