Mum Daughter Kitchen evolved from a home-based Instagram business started in mid-2020 into a physical hawker stall at Chinatown Complex on July 2, 2022. Founded by Mrs. Jahan with her mother's encouragement, this Muslim-owned business brings authentic, affordable nasi padang starting from $2.50 to one of Singapore's most iconic hawker centres.
The labour-intensive preparation process sets Mum Daughter Kitchen apart, particularly the meticulous rempah-making that involves splitting and blending dried chillies. Jahan cooks most dishes using her own recipes, resulting in home-style flavours that customers can taste in every bite. Must-try offerings include Ayam Masak Lemak Chilli Padi and Sotong Masak Hitam, both showcasing the depth of flavour achievable through traditional preparation methods. Her husband Clarence brings over 20 years of food industry experience to the operation, helping ensure consistent quality and efficient service.
Operating Mondays through Fridays from 8:30am to 2pm at 335 Chinatown Complex, the stall serves the lunch crowd with homemade nasi padang that respects tradition while remaining accessible to diverse customers. The Muslim-friendly certification ensures halal compliance without compromising on the authentic flavours that define quality nasi padang. Active on Instagram where they post daily menu offerings, Mum Daughter Kitchen has built a loyal following that appreciates their transition from home kitchen to hawker centre while maintaining the personal touch and authentic taste that first attracted customers to their online business.
