Nasi padang roughly mean indo's mixed rice i think.
It is a malay eating house in indo that serves you whatever they have on your table. Usually arnd 20 dishes will be served to you. Normally the portion is for 2 pax of each dish. You may ask for more i you wish to. Untouched dish will be recycled or served to the next costumer. Eg : "they served you a 2 pcs of fried chicken, but you only took one, so they will put back the other one, or add 1 more pc and give it to the next costumer"
Its only for fried dish lar...No worry. They won't pour back your leftover curries lar ~.~
Some customer will use their hand to eat. (i will do that if i pack home to eat).
Sounds gross ? Just don't think too much on the cooking process of foods. You won't even know if you are about to eat a piece of chicken from kfc that had just dropped on the floor! or somebody spit on your pizza because he/she breakup with their lover. Who knows o.O
Singapore's malay rice really tastes diff from indo's malay rice. The chili, the curry, everything is diff.
We don't use curry powder to cook curry in indonesia. We uses spices. In singapore, whether its a chinese stall, malay stall, or indian stall... ALL USING CURRY POWDER!!
ALOT !!
So i'm about to share a malay eating house in singapore that really satisfy my craving of indonesian foods.
And they using spices for their curry lar. Don't ask how i know, i just can differentiate!! That's it !
I used to go to upper thomson for indo's food, but that restaurant closed down liao :(
But luckily i found this one @ lucky plaza few weeks ago but yet to try. So dragged bby to go have our dinner thr since we were at far east.
The owner is an indonesian, so no need to worry about the originality of the food.
Ofcourse because of hygiene problem, in spore they only give you what you want to eat. Just like mixed rice.
Their chili and curry are really nice, end up both of us ate 2 plates of rice-.-
See ... not a single thing wasted :D
By the End of this post i just want to share what i will definitely eat whenever i go far east !
Loves their Sausages to the max !!!
