The mixed rice which is same like nasi padang is okay, decent. But there’s other that is nicer. Chi
The mixed rice, similar to nasi padang, is okay and decent. However, there are other options that are nicer. The chilli portion is limited, even after asking for more. The snack kueh lapis is the star here, which is nice with a good amount of gula melaka. It's always nicer when the place is more generous with chilli and offers better service, making it memorable. The place gets crowded, so it's good to go earlier during lunchtime.

Store is cramp .

It was not hot and requested with
Visited on 12/1/25. The store is quite cramped. I ordered the mee siam with otah. It wasn't hot, so I asked the manager (the man in black) to heat it up. He said there's no microwave. He mentioned the mee siam sauce was heated, so there shouldn't be an issue. The Chinese auntie who prepared the mee siam offered to change it for me.
Similarly, the otah was cold. The Malay auntie advised me to ask the manager, and again, they said no microwave. Only the auntie offered to replace it with a newer piece which was slightly warmer.
The manager should undergo training; all he knows is to say 'no microwave.' However, I could see a kitchen in the back.
The Chinese auntie really saved the day for the store.

I work around the area and come in here at least twice a week. The food here is good but the service
I work around the area and come here at least twice a week. The food is good, but the service is lacking. One of the senior Muslim staff members is quite rude, asking for orders in an extremely condescending manner, as if we owe her a living. Many customers I've observed in line, like myself, have been nothing but kind towards her when placing their orders. The uncle who cleans the tables and seats customers is friendly, as are all the younger Muslim staff. I'll avoid the place whenever this senior Muslim lady is around because I'm not paying to endure her absolutely nasty attitude; there are plenty of other local business owners worth supporting.

The curry fish head here was super good , the fish was fresh and flavourful , delicious. The chicken
The curry fish head here was super good; the fish was fresh and flavourful, truly delicious. The chicken rendang was a little tough for me, but it was well-seasoned, so I still finished it. The stir-fried kangkung was also very delicious, with a good wok hei. The fried snack was normal, and the long beans were average in my opinion. Nevertheless, it's a good store, and I will come again. The price is affordable.

I like
My favourite place to get my fix of Nasi Padang and Mee Rebus. They always maintain their quality.
I like their rendang. It's tender, chewy, and perfectly cooked. Ask for curry. For those who can take spicy, their sambal is just amazing.
Mee Rebus is also one of the best, if not the best. The sauce is tasty and blends perfectly with the noodles.
The meal offered me such warmth and comfort. Definitely will come back and fully recommended!

Good nasi padang and vfm for mall food.
If you are looking for something below $10 in a mall, cravi
Good nasi padang and value for money for mall food.
If you're looking for something below $10 in a mall and craving some good Indonesian curries with a variety of side dishes, this is the spot to hit.
A rice set of 1 meat and 1 vegetable goes for $6.70, flat. And $7.40 for 1 meat and 2 vegetables.
I've patronized this place quite a few times, including takeaways, and the quality of food has been consistent. The central kitchen must have good QA.
I love the ayam masak merah and curry chicken (huge drumstick). Both are well-spiced but not overly hot. The beef rendang comes with a good portion of tender beef chunks and a thick, rich gravy that's not overly hot. The deep-fried bitter gourd is crunchy and well-spiced too. The sambal goreng is decent; I have tasted better.
Service is decent for a peak, packed lunch crowd. I've always had a positive experience with the staff who have served me. They are fast and efficient too.
The atmosphere is bright, but as expected with the costly per square foot rate at Plaza Singapura, it's basically elbow room between tables.
Repeat returns for sure.

Choose the lemak rice for $0.70 and then u can choose 3 vegetables for $6 which comes to $6.70. or u
You can choose the lemak rice for $0.70 and then select 3 vegetables for $6, which comes to $6.70. Alternatively, if you're feeling a bit more indulgent today, you can choose 2 meats and 1 vegetable for a total of $9.80. The price is definitely on the steeper side. Food quality-wise, it's about 8/10 for typical Malay nasi padang. The place is quite clean and has a good environment.

Food is delicious & served warm
Just not sure about their service practice. While they asked me whe
Food is delicious and served warm.
I'm just not sure about their service practice. After taking my order and collecting the payment, they asked me where I was seated. They told me to sit back as they would be serving the food to the table, but they brought the rice without my mains first. Subsequently, they asked me to go collect my drinks, which was only one cup, and then served my main dishes a while later.
It was confusing, and I wasn't sure if it was meant to be self-service or table service.
Otherwise, the food was great and the atmosphere at the place was nice.
