This is the Nasi Ayam Penyet or Ayam Penyek. Had this sometime ago and just wanted to share it. Its an Indonesian dish but its quite commonly found in Kuching as well since we’re just across the border of Kalimantan, Indonesia. Basically, its white rice with chicken.

I had this dish at petra jaya area, Kuching, somewhere near to the Dewan Bandar Kuching Utara (North City Council) headquater. Its a stall by the malay kampung. A small hut I would say and its painted green as I recalled. The name of hut is R&R if not mistaken.

The chicken is rather “hard” and “chewy” for me to eat. Didn’t quite like it. But the red sauce was volcanic. I was perspiring when I was eating it. Tears, watery nose and sweat came in stimultaneously. It was around RM5.00 if I am not mistaken.
