Pangkor Island on the Northern side of Peninsula Malaysia beckoned for sun, sea and breeze. Just 6 hours drive away (includes pit stops, parking time, ferry ride), the sand under our heads and big orangey green leafs over our heads are worth the journey.
This time around, we rented a motorcycle and roamed to the other Coral Beach versus our location of Bogak Beach area. The location and sand all looked very good and the sunsets thereabouts. There was no breeze, though. Whereas, at Pantai Bogak, the breeze 'bayu' is cool, calming and we felt exhilarated and are reminded that this was the reason we came to the seaside.
The ferry ride was less than 30 minutes. There was a government car park building nearby the Lumut Jetty. we didn't manage to source good red wine chicken which the Foochow people are famous for. The McDonalds always beckoned us for brunch or lunch and toilet break. we know what to expect from McDonalds.
Thankfully, we were still full from breakfast and decided to travel to Slim River, Perak for lunch. We were lucky that our random stop led us to a very delicious and freshly prepared 'Ayam Penyet' ( East Javanese dish of smashed fried chicken served with 'sambal' chili tomato paste), slices of cucumbers, fried 'tempeh' (fermented soybeans). This restaurant consists of only 1 menu. We felt very much nourished and energized to go on our journey home!
The restaurant, Nasi Ayam Penyet Ambia is situated on the same row as Watsons Pharmacy. GPS 3.842594N 101.393889E.You may check out its exact location beside Econsave Slim River (https://www.facebook.com/Nasi-Ayam-Penyet-Ambia-Slim-RiverPerak-1705925696289017). It is a pleasure to eat there as we just needed to decide on the number of sets we wanted to order from the friendly staff. This is the best ayam penyet I have ever tasted in Malaysia!
Gordon Ramsey must be very proud of this achievement to focus only on 1 dish! This could be the reason it was very well prepared; quick service and at an unbeatable cost of RM5.00 net only for 1 set of steamed rice with fried chicken, tempeh and a glass of 'teh o ais' (sweetened iced tea)! Whoever came up with this promotion is a mastermind! Please support this fairly new restaurant as they are doing a great service by providing excellent food at a very reasonable price.
