Singapore｜Maimon Nasi Padang

Asked ChatGPT to rephrase my review in a funny Singapore style and it did not disappoint. We tackled the $10 Nasi Ambeng feast, a true meaty triumvirate for sharing! This dish danced with curry and spice notes, and the portion was so big, it could moonlight as a two-person party. Easily one of the top-notch Nasi Padang adventures we've embarked upon. The Malay maestro at the helm was not only the captain of flavor but also spoke Teochew like a seasoned pro. 11/10, would recommend faster than you can say "more sambal, please!"

Worth the queue! Uncle is very friendly and food is yummy. I personally like the nasi sambal goreng.

Uncle is very friendly and generous with the portions! For example, for around the same price I got three times more beef rendang compared to the famous nasi padang restaurant near my place, not even exaggerating :O I chose the beef rendang, cassava leaves, some long bean dish that’s not sambal goreng (no tauhu and tempeh), bergedil and tempeh for takeaway. Then decided it wasn’t enough so I went back to add on sotong hitam :P Uncle was a little reluctant to sell to me at first cos he was worried I wouldn’t be able to finish, in the end he specially gave me a $2 portion when its price usually starts from $4–so nice of him! The food’s yummy and tasted comforting and homecooked. Special mentions to the beef rendang that’s rich in coconutty flavour and the fragrant, peppery bergedil that surprised me when I tasted the minced meat inside; I think a lot of stalls just do pure potato these days? But I would be happy to order everything again except maybe the tempeh that was quite average. Everything added up to just $9.50 and made for such an enjoyable weekend meal, would highly, highly recommend.
