For the past several weeks, we've been going to a number of restaurants that seem to have invaded Jakarta with their penyet menus. This one is also one of the well-known names from Surabaya. I've heard several friends raving about the restaurant, so one weekend, we decided to try Warung Bu Kris for lunch. The restaurant is quite spacious and they offer many variations on penyet menus. Besides ayam penyet, they also have iga penyet. So we ordered: iga penyet 22.5K, ayam penyet paha 13K, 1 penyet komplit kecil (ayam penyet, tahu & tempe penyet + bakwan) 31K, with es cao 5K, es lemon soda jumbo 9K. The service was quite good and we didn't have to wait too long for our orders. SC's iga penyet was delicious, tender and the sambal is not spicy at all as he requested. My penyet komplit was also satifying. The sambal was spicy, but not as spicy as the ones at Tekko or Leko. I was also quite surprised to find that bakwan is actually what I know as bakso (meat ball), not some meat/prawn/vegetables fritter. Overall, it was a delightful meal and we're looking foward to visit this place again :)
