Papa Ayam is still serving food during the circuit breaker, so this time I opted for the grilled version, as I wasn't in the mood for fried food.
Pak Gembus isn't in Singapore yet, but this local stall in the basement of 313@Somerset serves ayam gepuk too. These guys go up to level 15 normally, but there is a level 27 "WTF" option inclusive of one of those free meal and photo-on-the-wall challenges. We stuck to level 8, and it was just enough to get a mild sweat going without being too distracting.
Ayam geprek is more than just a gimmick. Armed with bold yet familiar flavours and affordable prices, it’s easy to understand why this dish has become a sensation in Indonesia.
It was delicious. I loved everything on that plate, be it the tender coconut chicken or the firm tofu in the sambal goreng, or the fresh bean sprouts in the urap, as well as the eggplant balado. It was spicy, rich, and refreshing too. I just realized that HJH Maimunah also serves this; I really should make my way there to try theirs.
The eponymous signature Dancing Fish ($37) is a must-try.
Dancing Fish Signature has yet to disappoint in the visits we've made.
With its excellent location in town, I am already putting this as a good recommendation to dine in Orchard Road.
