I've seen similar looking dishes while visiting several food festivals and must admit that their variety of sambal does attract my attention. The only thing that hinders me from actually trying them out before was my current health (that prevents me from eating spicy dishes often). But since my hubby assures me that there are less spicy sambal available, we finally decided to try out this eatery located at Jalan Belian, right in front of the former Empire building & yellow DIY building.
So basically a 'pecok' dish is when you pick out your main ingredient (such as chicken, fish or squid) with its accompanied sambal (which includes sambal ijo, sambal tomato, sambal merah, sambal mangga & sambal madu 3). I decided to play safe and ordered their Pecok Bakar while my hubby tried their Pecok Penyet Ijo. Thankfully mine wasn't that spicy and it was succulent but not that noteworthy. My hubby also commented the same thing with his dish plus a slight oversalting taste. Drink choices were also limited & mostly pre-prepared so if you wanted to try other dishes then you might want to go somewhere else. But if you're a fan of the ayam penyet or ayam geprek (which seems to be everywhere nowadays) types of dishes then you should try them out.
