Riverside Indonesian BBQ – Best Grilled Ayam of All Time
-
Text size 
My, that’s one bold statement to make, and I make it with utmost confidence. (Ayam is chicken.) The Riverside Indonesian BBQ food stall is located at the innermost corner of the Kopitiam food court at Plaza Singapura. It is positioned at the worst possible spot in the entire food court. Yet at any one time, it also has the longest queue of customers. Doesn’t that say a lot? Normally, I would have to queue behind a dozen people before I finally get my ayam panggang (grilled chicken)! If you’re thinking “whoa! This is one sinful looking plate of calories”, well, you are absolutely right! But really, this dish is so good that it is totally worth every calorie and every gram of saturated fat! If you look around, most of the people seated in the 20-metre radius of the stall would be eating out of a green banana leaf lookalike plate. Ayam Panggang (grilled chicken) S$4.80 5.30 Rating: For this set you get the rice, a bowl of soup, a triangular slab of omelette, and a large, juicy chicken thigh. To be honest, the rice, soup and omelette are just meh. But the chicken thigh is one of the best [...]

Any idea if this ayam panggang has got the same taste as the one at Fork and Spoon in Toa Payoh HDB Hub? There’s one shop selling some Stingray Panggang, Sotong Panggang and Ayam Panggang. I love that shop. I think they cost around $3.50 to $4.50. Reminds me of Padang, Indonesia…

I tried the ayam panggang from that stall at Fork and Spoon a couple of months back. It was just okay and didn’t really leave me with a deep impression. Maybe I’m too conditioned to the taste of the one at Riverside Indonesian BBQ!

That means it must be great! I should try it then…My wife always leave it to me to bring us for dinner…sometimes stressing me out because when I’m late at deciding where to go, she’ll just show me her sour face and forget the whole idea…Errgghh!!! That’s when I tried to surf the net and found ur site…again! Lol! Thanks Veron! For quite sometime now, we’ve been patronising the same cycle of eateries. I’m tired of them all now.

snoop around here and found this write up. I dashed down to have a go of the grilled chicken after reading your review and forgot to come back to thanks you for the recommendation. Maybe because it was not as good as you said ;). Anyway did go back for another taste. 2nd time was good. I even sent your photo of the grilled chicken to ieatishootipost to lure him there.
I had now bookmarked your blog so I can return here quickly.

Haha the grilled chicken there has always been excellent! But it’s been a while since I last went there. Hope the standards are still the same. When I do get to try it out again and if the chicken is no longer good, I would be sure to update you guys :)

After writing about this, went there today with a kaki and urge him to try it and forget about the KL roasted meats which he was eyeing. He tried the grilled chicken and said it is good. Warned him about the soup but he slurped it up. 2 hours he complained about the MSG in the soup, hahaha…
BTW prices have gone up after they renovated and I think the stall had relocated.

Thank you for following my blog! If you haven’t, you may wish to subscribe to new posts :)
I never knew they have a branch in Suntec! Is it run by the same owner? Where exactly is it? Are the queues as long? Haha sorry for my torrent of questions. I’m just excited and would really love to know! I go to Suntec City Mall all the time so it would be great to check it out!

I think this stall has several outlets in foodcourts islandwide, like in Suntec and Compass Point. Gotta agree that the chicken’s really addictive!

Ah yes :) Do all those stalls fall under the umbrella of the original? I did a review of a similar stall at the Tiong Bahru Plaza Kopitiam but whether or not it’s the same owner is still inconclusive. Here’s the review: http://sparklette.net/food/indonesian-grill-delights/

I was looking for some grilled chicken corners in Singapore on the web and found your article. Pictures were looking quite yummy, so I decided to visit kopitam at Plaza Singapura L6 Indonesian Riverside BBQ where Grilled chicken is served.
After getting first bite of the meal I was actually disappointed. I was expecting it to be spicy, but turned out to be sweet :(. I couldn’t finish the meal even it was so sweet.
If you are thinking it to be spicy and to be yummy, then I wouldn’t recommend it.
Veron Thanks for providing such enormous details and reviews. keep up the good work.
Thanks

Oh, sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it. I guess everyone has different tastes! Yup, the black sauce is sweet. The chilli gravy is in a separate metal container so customers have to scoop it for themselves. So actually this dish is as spicy as you want it to be, and certainly yummy to those of us that love it. I have been eating from the same stall for years!
