Ayam Penyet
A solid protein hit, but the rice or noodles stack up, a smart choice when you order it right.
Built mostly on refined carbs like white rice or noodles, so it raises blood sugar quickly. Pair it with protein, vegetables or fibre to slow the spike. General guide, not medical advice.

Coach Tip
Smashed fried chicken, great protein but deep fried. Eat the chicken, leave half the rice.
