Ayam Penyet President @ Serangoon NEX

IMG_2055ed

Ayam Penyet President is the new resident at Serangoon NEX servicing authentic Indonesian cuisine. I have to admit I was looking for an experience and meal that is fit for a president. Unfortunately, I am brought to reality very soon when I needed to walk up to the cashier to place my order and made payment before I got my food served. This is not how you treat a president or rather I thought I will be treated like a president.

Tahu Telor 2/5

The Tahu Telor ($5.50) was a big disappointment. I was expecting a tall standing tower of the tahu telor but instead I was served with with pieces of fried beancurd wrapped in by a omelette. I really felt I was being cheated.

Ayam Penyet 3/5

The Ayam Penyet ($6.50) is a Malay word which literally means smashed fried chicke does not come with steamed rice. The Steamed Rice ($0.80) needs to be order separately. While the chicken was tender and moist, the chicken was not flatted or smashed enough. I also wished I could have more of the crispy bits.

Ayam Bakar 3.5/5

I also tried the Ayam Bakar ($6.50) which is served with grilled tofu, bean cake and cut chilli in black sauce. Actually the waitress left out the cut chilii in black sauce and I have asked for it. The grilled chicken with the sweet sauce drenched over it was rather flavourful. It complemented the moist and tender chicken.

Mixed Fruit Juice a la President 3.5/5 Iced Chendol 3.5/5 

The meal ended on a sweet note with the Mixed Fruit Juice a la President ($4) and Ice Chendol ($3). The mixed fruit juice a la president is quite similar to our Chinese version of Ice Kachang.

Overall I find that the food here is just average and definitely you won't be getting the president treatment. Unless I need a quick meal or avoid the crowd, I probably would not visit the eatery.

I have recently downloaded Pickat SG and have been having fun "Picking" and sharing reviews of my favourite restaurants and eats.

So why am I so crazy into this new Pickat SG app?  If you are familiar with Facebook, Instagram, Path and Foursquare , then Pickat is like your  4-in-1 app having similar or even the same features. Let me show you how easy and user friendly the Pickat SG app can be.

Yesterday I met up with my friends at Clark Quay for steamboat at Hai Di Lao Hotpot. I enjoyed the food and service at the restaurant. I find that it is a great place for group gathering. Hence I took out my Iphone and Pick this place to share with my friends on Pickat SG.

What is actually a Pick? In short, it is like Facebook status post or a Twitter tweet where you share a Place + Theme. You can also include photos and a brief review up to 500 words. To create a pick, you simply click on the pick icon at the bottom right corner of the app.

How to create a Pick? Pick is a Place + Theme, so we need to input the location followed by the theme. Simply key in the location of the place you want to Pick and click search. Then select the outlet you want to make a pick.

What is a Theme? A theme is like a label or a post header where it expresses the experience/view/opinion of a place you have visited. The cool part is you can create your own Unique Theme! For example, I find that Hai Di Lao Hotpot is a great place for gathering, hence I created the theme Great Place for Gathering.

To complete your Pick, you can upload your photos (up to 4 pictures) as well as your review of the place. The great thing is after you have completed your Pick, you can even shared it seamlessly on Facebook and Twitter.
