DPenyetz, Little Bourke St CBD

As a kid, there was a rumour at school that the green noodles in a cendol was made of worms. There was no doubt that it was nothing but a rumour, possibly endangering the livelihoods of street cendol vendors. But I did not partake of cendol for a long time because the green bean noodles were flourescent green and the drink was too sweet. So, when Gaz ordered the cendol ($5.90) at D'Penyetz restaurant he naturally expected to have it to himself but he unexpectedly had to share it with me because it was a hot day. It was refreshing and not too sweet because most of the brown sugar syrup was at the bottom so if you wanted a little sweeter, stir a little harder. 


We ordered the Ayam Penyet with the mildest sambal ($11.90). It was sweet and spicy sambal but delicious. An extra charge is applicable for more sambal. The chicken is tender and crispy on the outside. 


Mie Goreng chicken ($14.90) - it comes with fried egg and kerupuk, fried crackers. 


D'Penyetz is actually an Indonesian chain restaurant that originated in Singapore and has franchise restaurants in Malaysia. The prices are reasonable and quality of the food is good. For consistent food and reasonably priced food, this is the place to go to.
