I love Nasi Padang. Friend recommended me this place but itβs not up to my preference! Ayam Merah was too sweet, Tahu goreng was too sweet, the beansprout felt so raw.

It is super expensive for a plate of rice, chicken and one piece of egg. Selling $8 for a piece of chicken is too ridiculous ( not full price yet). Taste was just average. If youβre charging this high price, atleast you could display the prices clearly for patrons.

Tried their nasi padang for the first time. Just located outside the loft at Level 5.
Beef rendang is tender and not too spicy. Fried plain brinjal is tasty even though it doesnβt have any gravy. Chose the non spicy curry gravy so it adds flavour to the rice.
Best teh tarik I have drank! Proportion of tea and milk is perfect so you can taste the fragrance of the tea.
Affordable pricing for food around town area. Friendly makcik and pakcik! π Has a homely vibe!

This small eatery is manned by very friendly and nice people. Food was delicious like home cooked, not too salty or sweet. The kuehs also looked like they did not contain any artificial colourings.

Second visit on Feb was as good as first visit. Ordered Nasi Padang with 4 ingredients : beef rendang, sayur lodeh, sambal goreng, talor mata lembu with 2 hot spicy sauces; sambal tumis & sambal belachan. Attached picture.
My first time here on 2023/01/07 about 2:45 pm. Late lunch. A strong repeat despite the price, it is in the touristy Orchard area so understandably a tad pricey. However fair portions of the Nasi padang. Lets see what I wrote earlier to my friends β¦
β Btw the nasi padang I had was really good. Prices have gone up but it was nice for $8.70 with nice portion of beef redang, sayoh lodeng with soft tau kwa & teloh matar lembu on nice steaming hot soft rice with sambal tomis & sambal belchan 9/10 rating. β
Yup a solid 9/10 score. And the Sago Meleka also unmistakeable a rock solid 9.5/10 rating. Bought 2 more for takeaway, thatβs how good it was ππΌπ
Taste : 9/10
Quantity : 8/10
Quality : 9/10
Hospitality : 9.5/10
- friendly family operators
Cleanliness : 8/10
Ambience : 8/10
Overall : 9.25/10
Repeatable : 5/5 for sure if in the area

When I m in town love to have their nasi padang. Always crowded during lunch time but will still jostle for a spot for their delicious dishes. And today is tea time also another fav time when their ripe sweet pisang goreng is ready. Batter is perfect so is the pisang . Yum

One of the best Nasi Padang around .. home cooked style in small portions and batches
Fried chicken and beef rendang are both a must with their sambal blachan
iβm there almost every week and my wife just love this place. Great tea tarik
