Singapore｜Istimewa Nasi Padang

The stall has gone through a complete transformation, but they still serve the same awesome tasting nasi Padang. Every dish you see in my photo taste incredible, especially the beef rendang and the chili peanut/Ikan bilis. Only the taste of the fried fish was a little off and it was over fried. I am always so happy dining at this coffee shop.

Reasonably priced and really enjoyable Malay food. Used to be extremely good but that comes with a super long Q. Now it is still very good without the super long Q. A good balance. I like their beef rendang. Super soft melt in the mouth with nice gravy. Non stop wanting for more. Other dishes are as nice but I always eye on the beef rendang. Price for the quality is fair and the staff is very friendly too. It is tuck in a rustic coffee shop and have the nice old vibes. Highly recommended.

Excellent Malay food. The ayam goreng is famous (fried chicken), they keep frying it so if you are lucky enough to get one that is just fresh of the wok, that’s an extra bonus. I love their beef rendang too although some of my friends have commented that it is on the salty side. My other 2 favourite dishes are the sambal goreng (fried with tempeh) and assam pedas (fish). There is a 20 cents charge for takeaway sambal belachan but well worth it. Go early for lunch at the food is sometimes gone by 1pm.
