Restoran Ayam Penyet AP Bangi

Another restaurant joining Bandar Baru Bangi’s large list of eating spots is Restoran Ayam Penyet AP. One of the first restaurants to open at the new set of Paragon shop lots, the restaurant serves Smashed Chicken or Ayam Penyet dishes alongside other Javanese dishes in a kopitiam setting.

Satu lagi restoran yang menyertai senarai tempat makan-makan di Bandar Baru Bangi adalah Restoran Ayam Penyet AP. Salah satu restoran pertama yang buka di lot kedai baru Paragon, restoran ini menyajikan hidangan Ayam Penyet bersama-sama hidangan Jawa lain dalam suasana kopitiam moden.

Located along the same row as Hotel Bestview on the opposite side of the road as Restoran Amir, Restoran Ayam Penyet AP goes for a modern kopitiam or coffee shop sort of look and feel. This includes wooden blinds and mist fans on the outside along with an inner area on the inside. While the restaurant is mainly cooled by fan, there are a lot of them so it is quite cool and comfortable here. The furniture is mainly wood while the decor consists of big pictures following the Ayam Penyet theme.

Terletak di barisan kedai yang sama dengan Hotel Bestview serta bertentangan Restoran Amir, Restoran Ayam Penyet AP menamppakkan ciri-ciri kopitiam moden atau jenis kedai kopi. Ini termasuk bidai kayu dan kipas kabus di luar bersama-sama dengan ruang dalaman di bahagian dalam. Walaupun restoran ini disejukkan dengan kipas, terdapat banyak kipas jadi ia agak sejuk dan selesa di sini. Perabot di sini semuanya jenis kayu manakala hiasan terdiri daripada gambar besar mengikut tema Ayam Penyet.

Since this is an Ayam Penyet restaurant, we tried out their signature Ayam Penyet set for RM10.90 along with some half boiled eggs at RM2.80. The set is typical kopitiam price and comes with a choice between hot tea or cold tea. The chicken itself is very tasty, with the meat of the chicken being so soft and tender that it just falls off the bones. They seem to have the technique done very well as there were no broken bones, just super soft fried chicken. The chicken comes along with some tempe, vegetables and spicy sambal. While the chicken tastes great, the dish tastes a bit bland without the sambal, so make sure that you can take hot stuff. Portions are normal sized. There were a number of other Javanese dishes including Rawon beef soup, fried fish (ikan lele), prawns, beef rendang and some western side dishes. The drinks were mainly kopitiam style coffee, tea and milo but there were some milkshakes juices and ice cream or ABC desserts that may catch your fancy.

Disebabkan ini adalah sebuah restoran Ayam Penyet, kami pun cubalah set Ayam Penyet mereka pada harga RM10.90 bersama-sama dengan telur separuh masak pada RM2.80. Harga set di sini sama dengan harga kopitiam biasa dan datang dengan pilihan antara teh panas atau teh sejuk. Ayamnya sendiri adalah sangat sedap, dengan daging ayam jadi lembut sehinggakan seperti jatuh sahaja daripada tulang. Teknik mereka cukup baik kerana tiada tulang yang patah atau pecah, hanya ayam goreng yang amat lembut. Ayam penyet ini datang bersama-sama dengan beberapa bahagian tempe, sayur-sayuran dan sambal yang pedas. Walaupun ayam rasa sedap, nasi dengan sayuran serta tempe rasa sedikit tawar tanpa sambal, jadi pastikan bahawa anda boleh tahan pedas dahulu. Saiz hidangan berpatutan tetapi biasa sahaja. Terdapat beberapa hidangan Jawa yang lain termasuk sup Rawon daging lembu, ikan goreng (ikan lele), udang, rendang daging lembu dan beberapa hidangan bahagian barat. Minuman di sini mengikut gaya kopitiam dengan kopi, teh dan milo bersertakan beberapa jus dan susu kocak aiskrim atau ABC.

Service is generally good, but bear in mind that we came when there weren’t many people,  so we don’t know how they’ll handle during a lunch crowd. They almost forgot about the half boiled eggs but they must have noticed me glaring at them with my hand in the shape of a bowl. When they did notice it came very quickly so at least they do watch their customers. Parking is surprisingly bad though. I think that this is because there are too many spots for motorcyclists, not enough for cars. We had to park quite a distance away.

Layanan di sini secara amnya adalah baik, tetapi kami datang apabila tidak ramai orang, jadi kami tidak tahu bagaimana mereka akan mengendalikannya semasa orang ramai seperti waktu makan tengah hari. Mereka hampir terlupa tentang telur separuh masak tetapi mereka sedar yang saya tengah merenung mereka seperti marah. Apabila mereka sedar telurnya datang dengan cepat jadi sekurang-kurangnya mereka tidaklah endah tak endah pelanggan mereka. Tempat letak kenderaan kosong hampir tiada. Pada fikiran saya  ini adalah kerana terdapat terlalu banyak tempat-tempat untuk penunggang motosikal, tidak cukup tempat letak untuk kereta. Kami terpaksa meletak kereta agak jauh dari kedai.

All in all, Restoran Ayam Penyet AP Bangi is a good restaurant if you’re looking for Smashed Chicken or Ayam Penyet and other Javanese dishes. The Ayam Penyet itself is excellent but the service could have been better and the parking is downright bad. Prices are average BBBangi Kopitiam level but more to OldTown White Coffee than to Papparich. It should be good for the lunch crowd, but go early or risk no parking.

Kesimpulannnya, Restoran Ayam Penyet AP Bangi adalah sebuah restoran yang baik jika anda mencari untuk Ayam Penyet dan lain-lain masakan atau hidangan Jawa. Ayam Penyet di sini adalah sangat baik tetapi layanan di sini dapat diperelokkan sedikit dan tempat letak kereta kosong memang sukar dicari. Harga di sini mengikut harga biasa kopitiam BBBangi tetapi lebih kepada Oldtown White Coffee daripada Papparich. Ia tempat makan baik untuk orang ramai makan tengah hari, tetapi kami nasihatkan pergi awal atau ambil risiko tiada tempat letak kereta berdekatan.
