About Sederhana Singapore

Sederhana Singapore is the first local outlet of Indonesia's Sederhana nasi padang chain, which has more than 200 restaurants across Indonesia plus branches in Malaysia and Melbourne.

It soft-opened on 29 May 2026 and held its official opening on 14 June 2026 at 738 North Bridge Road — the former site of Warong Nasi Pariaman, which closed after 78 years. The Straits Times reported the Singapore outlet is Muslim-owned. Co-owner Asyraf Rasheed has said the spice mixes come from Sederhana Indonesia so the recipes stay authentic.

Typical dishes include beef rendang, ayam pop, telur barendo and gulai tunjang. Hours reported by Time Out and ST are roughly 7.30am/8am to 5.30pm/6pm daily. This is not listed as MUIS-certified on our directory — treat it as Muslim-owned unless a MUIS certificate is displayed at the counter.

Understanding Halal Status Types in Singapore

MUIS Halal Certified

The establishment has passed the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore's official halal audit. This is the gold standard for halal assurance — food sourcing, preparation, storage, and handling are all verified by MUIS inspectors.

Muslim-Owned

The establishment is owned and operated by Muslims. While not formally MUIS-certified, Muslim ownership provides trust as the proprietors are accountable under Islamic principles. Many popular Singapore eateries are Muslim-owned without MUIS certification.

No Pork, No Lard

The establishment does not serve pork or use lard in cooking, but may not have formal halal certification. This is common in food courts where individual stalls have different halal statuses. Always check for a displayed MUIS certificate at each stall.
