#GeprekHarder: Papa Ayam's Legendary Spice Challenge at 313@Somerset
Singapore's First Ayam Geprek Brand
Papa Ayam was established in 2018 as Singapore's first Ayam Geprek brand, introducing the fiery Indonesian “smashed chicken” dish to local diners. What started small has since grown to over 30 outlets across Singapore, all built around a simple mission: to #GeprekHarder today and every day.
The 313@Somerset outlet is easy to spot in the mall's basement food hall thanks to its sunny yellow facade, cute chicken logo, and charming wall of fame — a fitting introduction to the spicy challenge that's made Papa Ayam a local sensation.
Home of the Legendary W.T.F Challenge
Papa Ayam is proudly the home of the W.T.F Level 27 spice challenge — a fiery bowl of Ayam Geprek at maximum heat, served with one drink as your only supply. Finish the challenge, and you'll earn a spot on Papa Ayam's Wall of Fame, becoming part of the brand's spicy legacy. Brave enough to complete it? You might even walk away without paying for the meal.
For everyday orders, spice levels are fully customisable from 1 to 15, with each sambal made fresh to order based on your chosen heat level — so there's genuinely something for both chilli lovers and those who prefer to keep things mild.
Pro Tip: New to Papa Ayam? Start around spice level 5 or lower before working your way up — the sambal is made completely fresh, so the heat is authentic and can catch first-timers off guard.
What to Order
The signature Ayam Geprek comes in several variations, including the Original Sambal, the Balinese-inspired Sambal Matah, and Ayam Geprek Salted Egg. For those who can't decide, the Ayam Geprek Half-Half ($7.10) lets you pick two sambals in one bowl, while The Papa Ayam Box bundles chicken, sambal, rice, Indomie noodles, and crispy skin into one satisfying meal.
Fans of skewered snacks should try the Satay Taichan, available in creative variations like Satay Taichan Mozzarella paired with Indomie Goreng. Every sambal is handmade using traditional mortar and pestle, including the authentic Balinese sambal matah and spicy cabe ijo (green chilli) — and everything on the menu is Halal-certified and Muslim-owned.

Pro Tip: Crispy fried chicken batter deteriorates quickly, so if you're taking your order to go, try to eat it fresh within a few minutes for the best crunch.
