Aini Muslim Food - Nasi Goreng Ayam Penyet

 


Even with long queue and busy with the lunch crowd, Aini Muslim Food still greets every customer politely and cheerfully. What's more, their nasi goreng ayam penyet was simply amazing!

Gloriously fried rice with immense wok hei, coupled with crispy fried chicken and bits that will make Long John Silvers blush, this was one of the best dishes we had in a long time.

Squashed Fried Chicken

To note, Penyet means "flattened", hence, the chicken was squashed or crushed, or killed twice, making it tenderer. ^^

Whether the squashing or marinate made the chicken so damn tender, its up for debate. But one thing is for sure, it was delicately tenderlicious. Tons of crispy bits showered on top of its crispy tumeric infused skin. And if you are looking for healthy parts, you can forget it as it was oily and sinfully delicious.

Wok Hei Fried Rice

Nasi goreng, or fried rice, was so intense and aromatic, it assaults the senses ferociously before we knew what hit us. Appearance may not be a display of elegance, but the reddish golden grains of rice, mixed with umami filled eggs, corn and cauliflower bits certainly accentuated its taste.

Spicy Citrus Chili

Chili sauce was spicy and chunky, with bits and pieces of chili chunks, seeds, and other ingredients that made it so addictive that you could literally have it just with plain rice. Subtly sweet and slightly sourish due to perhaps lime, it was an absolutely nice touch to an already delectable dish.

On the sides were some tempeh and fried toufu, which were nice to have for a wider variety to the amazing rice and chicken. There was a small bowl of soup which was infused with ginger and some other spices, which somewhat clears the palate. Finally, we add a begedil which cost $0.70, which was smooth (means oily la ^^) and flavourful.

At $5.50 for such a huge plate of wonderous meal which hits all the notes right and well, Aini Muslim Food's Nasi Goreng Ayam Penyet is definitely one YumzYumz recommends highly.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
