I came across this stall while wandering around Paya Lebar Square after getting a haircut. I arrived before 7.30pm, and by then, most of the stalls were already closed. With limited options left after a quick look around, I decided to order the Ayam Gepuk Set, which came with a bottle of Teh Pucuk Harum. Instead of the usual $12.80, the set was going at a promotional price of $9.90. I waited slightly over five minutes for the food to be prepared. The set consisted of fried smashed boneless chicken, crispy fried cabbage, fried bean curd, and rice. Unfortunately, the chicken was disappointing - it was dry, tough, and lacking in flavour. The sambal accompanying the rice was spicier than expected, though it did help stimulate the appetite. Among all the components, the fried cabbage stood out the most, with its crisp texture and balance of sweet and savoury flavours. Even at the promotional price, the meal still felt somewhat expensive for the overall quality. Given this rather underwhelming first experience, a return visit is unlikely in the foreseeable future.
