Hidden away in the bustling Lucky Plaza, Gading Street Food is a great place to find Indonesian food. Delicious food! And not to skip their "martabak manis" (Indonesian min chiang kueh). Available via online delivery too.

Served by a really nice lady who double checked my order as I got the bakso meatballs without vermicellia. Really huge juicy roundness which I gobbled down and forgot to take photos. Would really love to try the fish dumplings which were not available when I visited. Wide variety of pancake flavours many of which are tantalising unique combinations.

Not a lot of authentic Indonesian food options in Singapore, and this is one of the rare few places that hit the standard. Their Siomay Bandung is really good, and you can’t go wrong with their sinfully delicious martabak. But they’ve recently launched a new menu Beef Dendeng Lado + Rice and oh my goodness it is surpasses them all! Tastes like the ones you can get in streetside stalls in Indonesia. Tender, juicy savoury dendeng with a hint of sweetness and a punch of spice. Still tastes good even when refrigerated and eaten reheated the next day. Give it a try!

I was craving “Siomay Bandung” and decided to give this stall a try based on the picture they displayed. Unfortunately, it was nothing like the photo or what I expected. The biggest disappointment was the peanut sauce—it was completely dry, lacking the rich, savory flavor you’d usually get from authentic siomay. The texture of the siomay was also far from ideal. Instead of the familiar fish cake taste, it was overwhelmed by tapioca starch. This definitely doesn’t deserve to be called Siomay Bandung. See my photo for the difference.

Give it 5 stars as the main course were so delicious. The ikan Bakar is nicely done with the kicap manis sauce. Ayam penyet is soft and tasty. Thank for serving us diff sambal as requested. We also ordered original martabak in advanced but the filling still abit bland.

A gem that located at 2nd floor of Lucky Plaza. It's Indonesian kind of stall (depot makan). Couple times we tried their food and we found that their ayam geprek with sambal bali / matah is the must have item when you're here. The price was justify the taste and amount of the food.
Their fried boneless chicken was nice, the fragant rice and everything was in generous portion. We tried their other sambal but nothing can beat their sambal bali, the rice vermicelli toward hot & strong white pepper-y smell and taste.
One of the same staffs couple times looked so unfriendly, maybe too tired after working long hour but wore a mask still couldn't hide the look. Since the person's working in service industry he needs to spread the joy, welcoming spirit and friendliness.
Since their sweet martabak is really sought after, it's better for you to order the sweet martabak in advance as they have a limited slot in a day.

Gading Street Food was Warung Surabaya. Located inside Lucky Plaza. They got rebranded from local food Jawa Timur, fried chicken, sayur asam kind of food with new, fresh looking, simple minimalist dynamic concept kind of food stall by selling nasi ayam geprek, nasi gudeg, nasi uduk, and martabak manis with disposable packaging.
Their nasi ayam geprek was nice, complete with some stir fried longbean, shredded omelette and spicy sambal, but for nasi gudeg please do not expect that Jawa Tengah (Central Java) type of gudeg, it's also something new for me that used to eat Jawa Tengah / Jawa Timur preserved young jackfruit (gudeg) kind of food. Maybe it's more like Sunda (West Java) kind of food since they sell nasi liwet.
When you come to this place you should take it as a new adventure and new experience. It's a great place to get fusion Indonesian food, with great portion and great price.
The martabak manis was nice. The good thing is we can request not too sweet since our threshold has changed.
The staffs are attentive and friendly. They're actively looking for some suggestion and feedback from the customer.

One of my new favorite Indonesian food eatery! I was so glad when I found out that I could order via whatsapp and arranged my own courier because I stay in the east and rarely got the chance to go Orchard. Tried almost everything in their menu and none was ever disappointing.
My favorites are soto betawi, ayam geprek, batagor and tempe bacem. My hubby and I are tempeh (soybean cake) lovers, so we love to try tempeh dishes every chance we got, and we never find tempeh bacem (seasoned tempeh) anymore in Singapore after the last eatery that had it closed down long ago. We were elated that Gading have it, and it was very very delicious! Sadly it was unavailable this time around, but it definitely become our must order dish. The ayam geprek is tender, generous portion and great with any kind of sambal, have tried the sambal mercon, kemangi and bali - all were amazingly good with different levels of spiciness. The soto betawi soup is so rich I always finish it till the last drop. And the batagor taste authentic and very nice, just that the portion is a bit small for its price.
Tried the martabak in two separate occasions, black charcoal (chocolate and cheese with charcoal dough) and classic (chocolate, cheese, peanuts). Had the classic one with add-on wijsman dutch butter at additional $4 and no peanuts. Both were amazing! Adding wijsman butter just made it even more delicious, the extra cost was a tad pricey though, maybe I’d say it’s worth it if it were $3 price point.
Overall, Gading offers great Indonesian food that I will definitely love to order again and again.

Great food and superb taste..The oxtail fried rice is special. The oxtail is so tender and match well with spicy fried rice and not so oily. The fried duck rice is nice and tasty. It will be good if the duck can be fried a bit more crispy. The yellow chicken soup is tasty as well, can’t complain much. In overall, Warung Surabaya is a great and nice restaurant which serve authentic and tasty Indonesian food. Really recommended!

I was walking around 313@somerset when I saw this little shop at the basement. I was quite excited to see they are selling martabak (basically Indonesian version of pancake/min Jiang kueh that is more decadent and unhealthy). My normal go-to for martabak is pancake boss at Bugis so decided to give this one a try.
I ordered the original and top up $4 for wijsman butter. Total damage is $19.90. A bit on the pricy side when compared to pancake boss. The martabak can easily feed 2-3 people (better to share due to high calories).
The martabak is delicious, sweet and a little salty from the cheese. They use good quality chocolate rice (much better than the one used by pancake boss).
Nice to see more martabak shops in SG (there is another martabak shop in ION Orchard but I have not tried it).
Overall, I highly recommend this shop for your martabak fix.
