Ayam Bakar Ojali

Tried the Ayam Goreng and the other grilled chicken. It tasted really good with the chili sauce with lemongrass. The satays were also not too bad — we had the chicken and mutton satays. On top of that my Indonesian friend ordered a fish cake dish with a special deep that was just okay. Our European friends dining with us really enjoyed the gado-​gado with the peanut sauce. Also tried the cendol drink in a glass which was a little sweet.
I left the place a little upset though. I started to get hiccups from the spicy sambal. When I asked for a glass of warm water, they poured a cup of warm water and charged me 55cts. Staff were also not too friendly that I didn’t speak Indonesian.

There are lots of Indonesian restaurant in lucky plaza and this one is opened by my mum’s church’s friend. The shop is small so you might have to wait for a bit for an open space during peak hours (lunch/​dinner time).
Lucky Plaza is located on Orchard Road, so transportation is pretty easy (bus, car, mrt, taxi, etc.) This store is located on the 3^rd floor. It is at the corner so it might be hard to find (find the corner escalator).
What’s good here? Food wise, I ordered ayam bakar (bbq chicken), gado gado, mpek mpek (something like fish cakes) and gurami bakar (bbq fish). I think I enjoyed eating each one but the best one so far is mpek mpek and the gurami bakar. If you like spicy food, you can add the ayam penyet’s chili sauce or kecap bangau’s chili sauce (black colored sauce on the table) — sweet and spicy mixed. Price wise is reasonable too.
For drinks, I ordered Avocado and Passion Fruit Juice. The Avocado was delicious! It has the chocolate sauce on the side and they probably mix it with other Indonesian condensed milk (sweet) which made it sweeter. Unfortunately the Passion Fruit was a bit watery so there is lesser taste on the beverage.

This is one of the better choices if you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to hunting for some good Indonesian ayam penyet (smashed chicken rice) at Lucky Plaza.
Came here with a friend for lunch on a weekday, it was more packed than other ayam penyet stalls at the same level, so that’s got to mean something! The space is very small and a little cramped but if you’re not there to hang out and your only goal is to enjoy a good plate of ayam penyet then it’s not a problem.
At your table will be the menu list and a pencil, you have to write down the quantity of your choices on the list and then go to the counter to pay before they serve you the food.
My friend recommended me the grilled chicken (the store’s namesake is Ayam Bakar, so the grilled chicken must be their specialty) and its delicious, the kind that gives you the warm and fuzzies. I like my marinate a little sweet and this chicken was quite sweetly marinated (with sweet soy sauce) there’s the chilli (sambal) to balance it with abit of a punch. The grilled chicken is moist and tender too. My friend is a fan of the soda gembira (happy soda) which is bandung mixed with soda — I feel this drink is a little too sweet! A few sips can be enjoyable but not the whole glass.
They have other smashed choices too besides chicken, you can have beef or fish — those look delicious on the menu, gonna try it next time!
Final verdict: Homely and tasty grilled chicken in a corner of Lucky Plaza, forget the other ayam penyet places in the same mall!
