Warong Rice Garden emerged from the Rice Garden Community Programme as Singapore's first hawker centre with this halal nasi padang concept, opening at Senja Hawker Centre before expanding to Jalan Kukoh Market & Food Centre. Located at 2 Senja Close at the MUIS-certified Senja Hawker Centre, this stall has become known for serving affordable, quality Malay food that makes dining accessible to everyone in the community.
The standout offering is the Warong Set, priced at just $3.50 for the general public, with further discounts bringing it down to $3 for CHAS Blue, MG, PG and NTUC members, and an remarkable $2 for ComCare cardholders. This set features either nasi kuning with chicken or fish patin, delivering a complete meal at prices that reflect a genuine commitment to community welfare. Beyond the signature set, the stall operates essentially as a nasi padang concept with a plethora of choices allowing customers to customize their plates with various curries, vegetables, and proteins.
Breakfast lovers will appreciate offerings like mee rebus, mee siam, mee kahwin, and even authentic Malaysian-style Ramly burgers that bring variety to the morning routine. The stall's presence at Senja Hawker Centre, where rental rates range between $1,100 and $1,600 monthly, demonstrates how affordable pricing can still be achieved through efficient operations and community focus. Warong Rice Garden proves that quality halal food need not be expensive, serving the Bukit Panjang community with meals that are both satisfying and accessible to all income levels.
