It was super spicy, even for me, someone who loves her chillies. I had assam fish, beans, and achar with rice. It cost me $8. A tad expensive, but fish and vegetables are costly according to friends in marketing. However, the fish was a disappointment; it was hard. It was also tough to evaluate the taste of the curry and achar because of the spice level, but the achar was crunchy. So, would I return? Unlikely.

The food is good, but it might be a bit pricier than other coffeeshop cuisine.
Rice, mutton, and omelette with vegetables costed $9. Rice, stingray, and vegetables costed $7.
The low rating is because they charge 30¢ per takeaway for non-reusable styrofoam containers, which is quite unethical.

Driest chicken I’ve ever had, rock hard, super gooey sauce, taste weird, ayam bakar not supposed to
The driest chicken I've ever had, rock hard, with a super gooey sauce that tasted weird. Ayam bakar is not supposed to taste like this. I don't know when this chicken was made or how long the sauce was kept, but I'm never returning here anymore. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The makcik wearing gold bracelets has a very bad attitude and is so cranky. Terrible service. Can't even speak to you decently. Food was just average. Definitely not returning.

Probably one of the best Nasi Padang in the east. Wide variety of authentic and delicious selections
Probably one of the best Nasi Padang places in the east. They offer a wide variety of authentic and delicious selections. The portions are substantial as well, and it's sure to give you a food coma afterwards. I will definitely be back here again to try the rest of their dishes.

I had a fantastic lunch experience at Raden Lina, located inside Koufu! I ordered the Nasi Ambeng with mutton, a feast on a plate. The portion was super generous and perfect for anyone with a big appetite. Each item—from the rendang mutton to the sambal goreng and crunchy serunding—was flavorful and authentic, bursting with rich spices and traditional goodness.
The mutton was incredibly tender and well-marinated, and the variety of side dishes made every bite enjoyable. I especially loved the balance of textures and the spicy kick from the sambal. Paired with a hot cup of tea, it was the perfect comfort meal that reminded me of home-cooked food.
The stall is clean, the service was quick, and the staff were friendly despite the lunchtime crowd. If you’re in the area or just craving some solid Nasi Padang or Ayam Penyet, Raden Lina at Koufu is worth a visit. Highly recommended!

I love their Rendang. It tastes delicious and is very tender. Their lontong is also good; it is sweeter than others. The bergedil (mashed potato fritter) is above average. The achar tastes good but needs longer marination. The sambal belachan has a good kick and tastes good too.
