Little diner tucked away the back of Far East square. Known for it’s rendang, chicken dishes and the super spicy sambal balacan. Finding the place is a challenge and getting a seat is also a challenge, as it’s a small space so sometimes the best option is to take away. I usually order the rendang or fried chicken, with sambal goreng, egg and a dollop of the ikan bilis. Along with extra sambal. The fried chicken is always fresh as it’s constantly replenished and I find it’s still moist and flavorful, while the skin is still crunchy. The rendang is tasty but leaner than I would like. The spice combination is really good, but the leanness makes it a little stringy for me. The rest are standard Singapore Padang fare. What makes it for me is the sambal. Very spicy but keeps you coming back for more. The couple that runs the place are very personable also, so always a delight, if a challenge, to go back to.
