by this time tomorrow i would have arrived in tokyo, where i would be gorging on gorgeous japanese cuisine for the next 11 days! in the days leading up to this trip, i have been stuffing myself fat with several meals of yummy indian, muslim and various other local food. i’m gonna miss the food here so much!
today, i had my last lunch in singapore (there’s still dinner and supper to go!) at the fork & spoon food court at my workplace. to satisfy my daily fix of chicken, i had the ayam panggang (grilled chicken) at the corner indonesian bbq stall.
Price: $4.20
Dish rating:
the portions were not particularly generous. in comparison with the popular stall at plaza singapura kopitiam, the size of the chicken here is definitely much smaller although the prices are almost the same.
taste-wise, i did not like it very much. i still prefer the sweet black sauce at the plaza singapura stall. also, the chicken flesh was dry and gave me the impression that it had been grilled and re-grilled a couple of times more after being left out for too long!
still, i like the fact that the stall lady would obligingly serve it with all kinds of gravies that i request, such as the satay peanut gravy and sambal chili sauce.
there you go! my last lunch in singapore before the trip! so it wasn’t the best grilled ayam of all time. but it tasted singaporean alright (ironically the stall name is “indonesian bbq”), and that’s good enough for now.

Yeap, the Ayam Panggang at Plaza Singapore Kopitiam Foodcourt is definitely the ultimate killer …
Frankly, I got hooked on that!
The Sweet Black Sauce, the Sweet Chilli Paste, the juicy tender Chicken …
Ooosh … it’s making me hungry already!
By the way,
BON VOYAGE! View all comments by Jayson

i’m not sure. but if u ever notice.
most of the chicken serve in malay style be in chicken rice or watsever wont have juicy tender meat.
i might be they way they serve it.
for me, some of them still taste not bad. is a way of serving. maybe is not everyone cup of tea.
The grill chicken in PS kopitiam…will take it only when there no such a long queue… saw d way they prepare it when the line is too long. they cant afford grill it longer.
therfore not much burn on d chicken, next thing i notice, they scrap the grilled waste on the pan on the chicken, and walla. like tat also can?? View all comments by daze
