The signature

Smashed chicken, wicked sambal.

Ayam penyet is the whole point here: fried chicken smashed — 'penyet' — then heaped with sambal. In the owner's own photo: the leg quarter on banana leaf with rice, tempeh, tofu, cucumber and a second pile of sambal. This is the plate the shop was built on.
