🐐 Jom Penyet 🍚

Mr Boyfriend has ordered from GrabFood app before, he said it's delicious hence I want to check out the restaurant.

Their signboard is visible from roadside. You can reach their restaurant with the staircase/lift in the middle then turn right.

Jom Penyet menu is using black & white comic style illustration to featuring their menu which I found kinda cute & amused.

Here's what we ordered:
🐐 Kambing Bakar JPX
Oven grilled marinated lamb shoulder with their home recipe sauce on banana leaves with steamed white rice, tempeh, pickled cucumber & veggie crackers.

It's tasty, however there's more bone than meat.

🍚 Tom Yum Fried Rice
Wok fried rice & shrimps with tom yum paste, served with veggie crackers

Lack of 'wok hei', average fried rice.

Customer can choose to dine in (air conditioned but strong smell of kitchen fumes) or outside (fan) the resturant.

They accept cash & QR code for payments. Checkout my ig;_humanburrito.bki for pictures & videos

Def not enough for two

Was a quick lunch. Ordered oxtail (supposedly for two persons). Wasn’t much. Def not enough for two. The oxtail didn’t have much meat on them either. Broth too spicy for us. Came with rice and two bowls of soup (ok la).

Not in a hurry to try this place again.

This is really not bad ayam penyet

I ordered 2 set nasi ayam one for me another one is for my lil brother through grab because there is a 50% off HOTDEALS promotion for this shop so just give it a shot.

Overall was okay. Big portion for both food. Ayam penyet or not penyet also very tender. Sambal not so tasty. And when I opened my food the banana leaf had an unpleasant smell I think was because it put too long inside the tapau that caused the bad smell.

Slightly expensive but environment is great!

Know this place quite a while but didn't get the chance to try.

Food is slightly expensive but worth the price because the portion is huge and AIRCON ROOM!!! The homemade sambal are so nice!!! Not too spicy, just good with the ayam penyet.

Service is great, the service stand on her own feet she do taking orders and also sending food. Great worker!

Will I come back?
Definitely yes, came back few times already 🤣

Ayam Penyet

Went this place for ayam penyet, luckily it doesnt disappoint me.

Overall the taste was okay. The meat ayam penyet was dry but it doesnt make it taste bad, and ayam penyet should be dry too right ?! 🤣

The sambal provided was spicy for me but taste good.

Oh their tempeh too hard… I cant chew due to braces 😫 sad…

Bad side:
1) the table outside was too sticky.
2) the smell inside was too strong (errr I dont know how to describe it)
3) the price was slightly high compare to other ayam penyet shop

* I like the way the design their menu in Comic concept. 👍
