Over our two visits in a week, our favourites so far have been the ayam penyet, iga bakar and sate ayam.

With a name like Ria Ayam Penyet, you'd be silly not to get the "ayam penyet" (literally flattened or squeezed chicken, in Indonesian), arguably Ria Ayam Penyet's signature dish. Expect a delicious crispy fried chicken.

A number of their penyet (flattened) and geprek (smashed) dishes come with sides of tofu, tempeh (Indonesian soybean food, similar to tofu) and some punchy sambal.

Iga bakar $20.5 - grilled beef ribs, sweet soy sauce glaze, tofu, tempeh & sambal terasi

Their iga bakar was juicy, caramalised and sticky sweet.

Sate ayam $14.9 - chicken satay, soy marinate, peanut sauce, lime, shallots & pickles

Like the iga bakar, the sate ayam ran savoury sweet and was slathered in their homemade peanut sauce. It paired really well with the punchy sambal and helped to elevate the dish.

Soto ayam $13 - turmeric soup, chicken, vermicelli, boiled eggs, bean sprouts, cabbage, fried shallot & sambal

Soyo ayam was a nostalgic and hearty dish for Paige, reminding her of her years living in Indonesia.

Empal penyet $17.9 - fried steak beef, tofu, tempeh, spiced crumbs & sambal terasi

The empal penyet ran a little on the drier side for us (think beef jerky-esque) and likely is something we wouldn't order again. It did go well with the soto ayam tumeric broth though.

Gado-gado $13.9 - steamed vegetables, rice cakes, potatoes, tofu, tempeh, peanut sauce, garlic & melinjo crackers
