Ayam Bakar Wong Solo @Melaka — Restaurant in Malacca

Wong Solo Melaka is truly a hidden gem in the world of Ayam Penyet! I recently had the pleasure of dining there and I must say, it was a delightful experience.

First and foremost, the Ayam Penyet was absolutely delicious. The chicken was remarkably fresh, and the highlight for me was the tasty fried garlic. It added a unique and delightful touch to the standard Ayam Penyet I've been accustomed to in Singapore. The flavors were well-balanced, and the chicken was tender on the inside while delightfully crispy on the outside. It's evident that they take pride in the quality of their dishes.

What sets Wong Solo Melaka apart, in addition to their mouthwatering food, is their exceptionally kind and friendly staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. They were attentive to our needs and provided excellent service throughout our meal. It's always a pleasure to dine in a place where the staff genuinely care about your dining experience.

I would have loved to give Wong Solo Melaka a full 5 stars, but I'm rating it 4/5 stars for one minor reason. While the food and service were exceptional, I felt that the portion size could have been a bit more generous for the price. Nevertheless, the overall dining experience was memorable, and I would highly recommend visiting this establishment to anyone looking for a delightful twist on Ayam Penyet in Melaka.

In conclusion, Wong Solo Melaka is a must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking a unique and flavorful Ayam Penyet experience with fresh ingredients, a touch of creativity, and the warmth of kind and friendly staff. Don't miss out on this...

Ayam penyet (Javanese for: smashed fried chicken) is Indonesian — more precisely East Javanese cuisine — fried chicken dish consisting of fried chicken that is smashed with the pestle against mortar to make it softer, served with sambal, slices of cucumbers, fried tofu and tempeh.

came here on 18/3/2023.

Decided to try this place out as I wanted to know if this place is worth going and unfortunately for me I wouldn't come back here to eat again.

Me and my family ordered set ayam penyet and I also ordered a "soda" gembira? the pink bandung soda drink and it was too sweet to my liking.

As for the set ayam penyet, the rice is fine, theres also a side for this set which was quite unique ( tomyum asam jeruk?) and it taste better than the ayam penyet sambal they have here. The sambal on top of the ayam penyet is super salty and in a sense "dry" im guessing they dont really use tomato for their sambal.

As for their tofu they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which is perfect tho it can smell a bit weird to some, may be due to them cooking beef with the same oil? It is also hot when I ate them.

Their tempe and fried chicken was also fried nicely tho the sambal made it quite off putting for me as its very salty.

I'm personally a somewhat "heavy seasoning eater" and this is too salty and too sweet imo but i guess it could be a personal taste too.

they accept cash and card! You can order at their counter and they will give you a round beep thing that will light up once your order is ready.

Utensils and straws are self service beside the sink area.

Staff was friendly and efficient, place was evenly clean from what i remember. Can be a bit hot imo so wear something...
