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.

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...

Seoul Noodle Shop Bishan: Bibim Noodles and More at Junction 8

  If you’re wandering through Bishan’s Junction 8 mall wondering what to eat, Seoul Noodle Shop might just catch your eye. A cozy little restaurant stall tucked in the basement, it promises authentic Korean noodles and hearty comfort food that feels straight out of a Seoul street market. We visited over the weekend for dinner and decided to go big. Two combo sets—Combo A and Combo B—meant we could try six different dishes, including their famous bibim noodles , which definitely deserved the spotlight.

What stood out immediately was the chewy, spr...
