The rendang is life-changing! So tender and flavourful. Compliments to the chef & the owner. Sambal is absolutely perfect! Spicy, sweet, and savoury all at once. Amazing job!

Best Nasi Padang! Damn shiok the chili! Rendang very fragrant and tender! Rice could be more fragrant. Pricey but worth it.

Mansor Cafe serves authentic and very tasty nasi padang. It is one of the best I've had in Singapore. It's a small, unassuming shop in Far East Plaza. The machik cooks while the uncle, who is very friendly, serves customers. There's limited sitting capacity, and most customers take away. Service can be a little slow, so be patient. But the excellent food will more than make up for the wait. I like in particular the beef and chicken rendang and also the bergedil; but everything I've eaten there was good. Price is also reasonable. A meat and two veg would be around $7 - $8. And, bring cash as that's the only mode of payment that's accepted.

Found a few items pretty worthwhile eating. The Ayam Goreng was deep fried with turmeric, crispy on the outside (skin) and juicy inside. And because it is such a popular item, the chef kept frying and there was a continuous replenishment of the chicken drumsticks. Hence still hot and juicy. The Sambal Goreng which consisted of tofu cubes (like Tau Gua deep fried, crispy on the outside, soft and tender inside), tempeh and long beans cooked in thick delicious gravy. This is really good. The Beef Rendang is good too but I would prefer it to be a tad softer; the portion was of good size, lean meat and easy to bite but would be good if it melts in the mouth. Wifey felt that slow cooking for another 15 minutes would give that effect. The Sambal Belacan was really hot and spicy as it was made from Chilli Padi. However, just plain hot wasn’t great! We felt that this Chilli fall short of Belacan. Overall, a very satisfying lunch. But due to the limited sitting capacity (and with social distancing measures), the Cafe could only seat 12 pax.  So if someone orders many packets of takeaway (like we witnessed someone ordered more than 15 packets), the Cafe was empty with nobody seated inside for more than 20 minutes while the “Abang” was packing the takeaway order. As the Cafe is small, owner could easily see the empty seats, he could temporarily stop packing the takeaway order, invite and serve some sit-in customers. This will surely maximize his business and satisfying more customers at the same time.

One of my regular haunt for lunch. Food is fantastic. Expect to queue as people tends to order in bulk. Must try their rendang and fried chicken. Go earlier if you want to avoid the queue. But if too early fried chicken might not be ready. Expect orchard pricing for food.

Usually have to queue during lunch time due to the bottleneck in the lack of seats. Good food but tiny place. Remember to spray your perfume / cologne after dining here. The fried chicken smell sticks on your clothes and hair. But its worth the wait.

A small little shop tucked away on the 4th floor of Far East Plaza. Don’t let its humble interior fool you. They serve a mean plate of Nasi Padang here. Judging from the long queue forming even during the early opening time, they often sell out really quickly. The ayam masak lemak was cooked so perfectly, just the right mix of spices cooking the tender chicken that is falling off the bones. Do beware of the Sambal chili. It is one of the spiciest that I ever had. Seatings inside are limited, so be prepared to share seats and tables.

Good S’pore style Padang. Have tried most of their dishes.. I would rate rendang beef/chicken, eggplants & sayor lodeh are the must have. Squid a bit too sweet for me. Fried Chicken is tasty but too dry.

Chance upon this small little shop selling Nasi Padang on the 4th Level of Far East Plaza shopping centre. Seat were quite limited as the space was quite small. Reached the shop around 1.30pm and the dish selections were quite limited as well. Managed to select 4 items from what is available on the showcase. I gotten the ayam goreng, sambal fishcake, cabbage and a sunny side up egg kicap manis. The meal was around SGD$8-9 which also includes a drink. Food was quite decent, the lemak chili padi gravy was really spicy. Ayam goreng tasted not bad but cold. Other dishes quite generic and can be commonly found at most nasi padang stall.

Saw the much raved reviews and decided to try out seeing not much queue. The plate of vege + chicken rendang + tofu + cabbage came up to $9 which is certainly fair and reasonable in tdy's climate. First bite into the chicken rendang and I'm sold. Really tasty and tender so well seasoned! The peanuts had slight spice to it and crunchy. The cabbage is so soft and delicious. This must be one of the best nasi padang I've had, and I've had quite a few.
