Indonesian smashed chicken and authentic sambal at Century Square.
Ayam Penyet President brings Indonesian comfort food to Century Square, specialising in the namesake ayam penyet, or smashed fried chicken, served with a potent house-made sambal that has earned a reputation among spice lovers. The chicken is marinated, deep-fried, and then flattened to maximise crispiness, arriving alongside rice, lalap, or fresh vegetable salad, and a bowl of soothing soup. The sambal is the star condiment, a fiery, umami-rich chilli paste that varies in intensity but always delivers a satisfying kick. Beyond the signature chicken, the menu covers other Indonesian staples like ikan bakar, or grilled fish, ayam bakar, or grilled chicken in kecap manis, and beef rendang, giving diners a well-rounded introduction to the cuisine. Portions are generous and prices are moderate, which explains the steady lunchtime queue from the Tampines office and shopper crowd. The casual, no-pretence setting suits quick meals and group catch-ups alike. For a taste of Indonesia that does not hold back on the sambal, Ayam Penyet President at Century Square is the real deal. Bring your appetite and your tolerance for heat.Operating Hours

Service is very terrible in this outlet. Staff is very rude. I came with my husband around 4pm and the shop is not busy at all. We ordered 3 rice which is undercooked, oxtail soup, grilled milkfish, ayam penyet, omelette …

I believe they will foresee this review coming. First and foremost, they weren't very welcoming when we arrived. I was a table of 2 with my wife, we came in friendly, I even greeted them and thanked them …
