Probably the best Ayam Penyet meal in Brunei is served at Syarikat Perusahaan Haji Sulaiman Bin Haji Abu Bakar. I've tasted quite a few Ayam Penyet places but nothing beats this little roadside stall. The place is nothing fancy but the home-cooking style dishes of mostly Indonesian origins are very tasty and cheap too! I always frequent this place for its Ayam Penyet, most of the time for lunch.
Now as you've probably noticed from the photo of the above, the roof is the old-skool zinc ones. And that is it. So when your sitting under the roof under the hot midday sun, it feels like you're in a sauna! Actually the walls are not wood or concrete too, its roofing material too! But thank god for the many standing fans they have. So with the wind blowing in your face, it feels like your dining at the beach! Boys, don't forget to take off your tie, ladies loosen up your tudung.
The Ayam Penyet meal you see is just $3.50, which part of the chicken you want, just tell them. The chicken is roasted and I always go for the thigh because I think it's simply juicy. It is served with rice and plain soup. Now the most important thing to tell them is which paste/sauce (sambal) do you want. The normal one is just nice but for those who wants tears in their eyes, sweat flowing down their temple/nostrils and temporary swelling of the lips, I dare you try the extra hot sambal. At about 12:30pm in the afternoon!
So yeah, do visit the place. They have other items on the menu, like Bebek Goreng (Fried Duck) and Bakso (Indonesian "Soto") amongst others but I've never tried them. I'm simply a slave for their Ayam Penyet and also their Cincau (original not the Yeos canned one). Service is prompt and they even provide free mineral water! Best $5 you'll ever spend I guarantee ya! Well actually you'll have change to buy some ice cream to cool your flaming lips! Hehe...Oh, one more thing, they're gonna install WiFi soon too! How cool is that?!

I have to totally agree on this!. Its the best penyet ever. People should go there and have a try. The one thing that i love about this nasi penyet is that the meat of the chicken falls-off easily. I simply love it. The place is nothing fancy but hey, the penyets worth it. I wonder, if they would want to open up another branch (somewhere closer to my place, perhaps? or even better in gdg..what say u?)in the new future.
selama ani i thought nama kadai ani GERAI MAKAN MARIA FATIMAH eh.
Anonymous: Yup! the chicken is so tender indeed! And yes I hope they'll open a Gadong or even better a Lambak branch soon! Hehehe...
