Why Ayam Goreng Lengkuas is a customer favourite

Ayam Goreng Lengkuas is one of I am Spicy’s best-selling favourites. The chicken is marinated and cooked with a rich blend of aromatic spices until the flavour reaches deep into the meat, then fried until golden and crisp.

The result is tender, juicy chicken with generous amounts of crispy, flavourful galangal flakes. Unlike some heavily spiced Indonesian dishes, this chicken is naturally non-spicy and is served with sambal terasi, a chilli and shrimp paste relish, on the side.

Available in 500-gram half-chicken portions, it works well as the centrepiece of a meal alongside rice and other Indonesian dishes. Some customers have loved it enough to take portions overseas.

Ayam Goreng Lengkuas

One of I am Spicy's best-selling favourites, this traditional Indonesian fried chicken is marinated and cooked with a rich blend of aromatic spices until the flavours reach deep into the meat, right to the bone. Fried until golden and crispy, it is tender and juicy on the inside, with generous amounts of crispy, flavourful galangal flakes that are deliciously fragrant and not greasy. Naturally non-spicy, it is served with traditional Indonesian sambal terasi (chilli and shrimp paste relish) on the side for those who enjoy an extra kick.

Available in 500grams (half chicken) portions. So loved that some customers even take it overseas!

Oseng Cumi Cabai Ijo

One of I am Spicy's best-selling dishes, featuring carefully selected premium salted squid with generous-sized pieces and a tender, pleasantly chewy texture. Unlike ordinary salted squid, ours is chosen for its quality and balanced saltiness. Sautéed with fresh green chillies and a fragrant blend of traditional Indonesian spices, a touch of coconut milk adds a rich, creamy depth to this uniquely savoury and gently spicy dish. A true customer favourite, loved for its distinctive flavour.

Available in 300grams pouch.

Meet the founder

Chef Yosefine

My love for cooking and good food was deeply inspired by my late mother and sister, whose cooking and family recipes have shaped much of what I cherish about Indonesian cuisine.

What began as a passion for sharing good food with friends gradually grew into I am Spicy. Over the years, I have continued to develop and refine our family recipes, bringing my own ideas and touch while staying true to the authentic flavours I grew up with.

For me, good food is about more than taste. It is about passion, quality, care and the joy of sharing something special with others.
