Ayam Bakar Ojolali

Location: Orchard Road

Ayam Bakar Ojolali specializes in ayam bakar (grilled chicken) at Lucky Plaza, focusing on this Indonesian preparation method where chicken pieces are marinated in a complex blend of traditional spices and aromatics before being slowly grilled over charcoal, creating smoky, deeply flavorful chicken with slightly charred exterior and juicy interior. This cooking technique differs significantly from ayam goreng (fried chicken) or ayam penyet, offering a lighter yet intensely flavored option that appeals to diners seeking the satisfaction of Indonesian spicing without the heaviness of fried foods. The marinade typically includes ingredients like turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, and various chilies ground into a paste that penetrates the chicken during marination periods that can extend several hours or overnight. The grilled chicken is served with steamed rice, fresh vegetables, sambal for those desiring extra heat, and often soy sauce-based dipping sauce that complements the charred flavors. Ayam Bakar Ojolali's presence at Lucky Plaza contributes to the shopping center's comprehensive representation of Indonesian regional cuisines, from Padang to Javanese to Sundanese specialties. The restaurant serves both Indonesian expatriates seeking authentic grilled chicken that tastes like home and Singaporean diners who have developed appreciation for Indonesian cuisine's depth and complexity. The casual dining format and reasonable pricing make it accessible for regular meals rather than special occasions, while the distinctive smoky aroma of grilling chicken serves as effective marketing, attracting hungry shoppers throughout Lucky Plaza.
