The fried chicken was tough and the crispy parts were hard to bite. Seems that it has been left overnight or not fresh the parts. Chilli was okay though

Katie Tan
was very disappointed with recent visit. The chicken was extremely tough and overcooked, making it difficult to enjoy the meal. staff claimed that she is the owner of the stall, unapproachable which added to the negative experience. terrible attitude—rude and clearly didn't care. Won’t be coming back.
Kenneth Quah
Fried chicken was tough and attitude of lady seller was poor when I provided feedback on the food standard
Wong Wong
Worst stall in Bishan and worst Ayam Penyet establishment in Singapore. The stall attendant always MIA. When she finally appears, she takes 15mins to prepare the food. I asked for more chilli and ended up paying $2 just for Chilli that should come free with the order.

Tried the green chilli Ayam Penyet. Not too bad. Just that the chicken was kind of small piece.
Janice Buenaventura
Ate at bishan for lunch. The Sambal was watery and serving is very little and ask to pay 50cent to add in Sambal which is clearly the serving is so little and watery for near $7 dish, told them can't they give a proper servicing for Dish? also there is hard rice with not cook. When feedback to them the staff claim she is the boss and has an attitude problem and showing face towards customer. She didn't respond on a polite way but ignoring the feedback and insist there is no one complain and there is no problem. Terrible experience with this outlet and wouldn't returned back for sure!
Wendy Kur
Went here on Sunday for lunch and was given a wrong order. Yet your staff didn't want to admit it. Then the fried chicken is just being grilled a 'very' quick to mock-up like a real grilled chicken but a fake one. The worst part is your lady staff gave me a ten cent of Malaysian Ringgit money! Totally unacceptable attitude and zero gratitude!
Fred Tan
The service was bad, ask for more chilli and want to charge 80 cent more.
Ben Tan
Very bad (Becareful when ask for add on) $1.50 per piece. add $3
Andy Ong
🌶️ give too less and ask for more, need to pay additional charges(also give little). Not recommended for ayam penyet chili lovers.
dd raf

Daud Rafiq
The oxtail soup, including the vegetables, was not cooked through. The meat and vegetables were hard. Please improve.
Andrew Ong
🌶️ They give too little, and if you ask for more, you need to pay additional charges; even then, they still give little. Not recommended for ayam penyet chili lovers.
Benny Tan
Very bad. (Be careful when asking for an add-on.) It's $1.50 per piece, plus an additional $3.
Frank Tan
The service was bad. I asked for more chilli and they wanted to charge 80 cents more.
Wendy Ker
Went here on Sunday for lunch and was given a wrong order, yet your staff didn't want to admit it. Then, the fried chicken was just grilled very quickly to mimic real grilled chicken, but it was clearly fake. The worst part is your lady staff gave me ten sen in Malaysian Ringgit! Totally unacceptable attitude and zero gratitude!
Janice Balakrishnan
Ate at Bishan for lunch. The Sambal was watery, and the serving was very little. We were asked to pay 50 cents to add more Sambal, which seemed excessive given the small, watery portion provided for a nearly $7 dish. We questioned why they couldn't provide a proper serving. Also, there was hard, uncooked rice. When we provided feedback, the staff claimed she was the boss and had an attitude problem, showing a poor attitude towards customers. She did not respond politely but ignored the feedback and insisted there were no complaints and no problem. Terrible experience with this outlet, and I would not return for sure!
