Singapore｜Pondok Daun Upeh Restaurant

This place gave me Malaysian Kampung vibe. We decided to have an early lunch here. The dishes were leaning towards a Malay kampung dishes (lauk kampung). Wide varieties of choices and the dishes we had were tasty, and transported me to some kampung in Malaysia having these dishes overlooking a padi field. The simple and humble Grilled Cow Fish was perfectly cooked and served with savoury soy, fresh chilli and diced onion as dipping was so good (you can ask for sambal belachan). Very kampung style. 👍🏻 The asam pedas fish roe feels homely and the broth was wholesome. Squid ink dish was nothing lack of spice goodness. Sitting capacity is quite limited so it’s best to come early or just ask for a take away. We’ll return to try other dishes.

Nasi sambal goreng power, more tempe than tahu 👍🏼 Rendang power. Sambal belacan very fresh. Love the spread of ulam. My parents and I enjoyed the dishes. Worth the money spent.

Ayam lemak was flavourful and the best I’ve ever had. The sambal belachan was very good. I’m glad the menu includes quail egg sambal. I will return for more!
