About Ayam Chef
Ayam Chef is an unassuming Malaysian restaurant on Coventry Street in Southbank, a short walk from the arts precinct. The room is casual and modern, with shared plates of home-style Malaysian cooking—tangy Nyonya ayam, salted egg fried chicken, kam hiong prawns, and hawker-style noodles and rice—rather than a hawker-stall setup. Dine-in, takeaway, and delivery are available.
From diners
My go-to here is always the San Low Fried Bee Hoon – wok-charred rice vermicelli loaded with egg, choy sum, pork, prawn and fishcake; tasty, filling and still nicely priced for lunch.
