Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take on Pondok Pantai Timur highlights their Nasi Ayam Penyet, which appears to be a consistent draw, priced at $7.80.

Reviews suggest the chicken is generally tender, though some find it occasionally dry.

The sambal chilli receives mixed feedback; some appreciate its flavour, while others desire more heat or a stronger belachan presence.

Portions are described as 'just nice,' but the accompanying vegetables and tofu are noted as sparse by some.

We think the stall offers a decent, accessible take on Ayam Penyet that caters to local palates, particularly for those who prefer a less intense spice level.

The service is often praised for its friendliness.

While not universally lauded as the absolute best, it's a solid option for a quick, satisfying meal.

We'd recommend it for a reliable, everyday lunch, especially if you're in the Geylang area and don't mind a potential 10-15 minute wait.

This Ayam Penyet will suit most Singaporean’s taste bud. I can’t say much for the atmosphere because I order takeaway. And I like the fact they fried the dishes again before they pack the food up. 👍…
