Nasi Padang Warong Pojok

Mbakyu Nasi Padang Warong Pojok operates from a stall at Ayer Rajah Food Centre, serving authentic Indonesian-style nasi padang to the West Coast community. The name "Mbakyu" is a Javanese term of endearment meaning "older sister," reflecting the warm, homely approach to their cooking.

The stall has earned a loyal following for delivering generous portions at wallet-friendly prices, with complete plates typically priced around six to seven dollars. This makes it an excellent value proposition for diners seeking authentic flavours without breaking the bank. The selection features a rotating variety of mains and sides displayed buffet-style, allowing customers to choose their preferred combination.

Among the popular dishes is their curry chicken, featuring tender thigh meat with flavourful skin bathed in aromatic curry sauce that balances spice with depth. The curry exhibits the characteristic Indonesian flavour profile with notes of turmeric, galangal, and lemongrass. The vegetable sides include stir-fried bean sprouts with carrot shreds, chopped green and red chillies, and onion bits that provide a crunchy, savoury counterpoint to the richer curries.

The casual hawker centre setting keeps the focus squarely on the food. For residents and workers in the West Coast and Jurong area craving authentic nasi padang, Warong Pojok delivers satisfying home-style Indonesian cooking at accessible prices.
