| An Indonesian <b>Nasi Padang</b> Feast | SAVEUR Posted: 12 Mar 2014 08:00 AM PDT Mar 12, 2014 Nasi padang, a meal of rice eaten with myriad beef, seafood, poultry, and vegetable dishes, is immensely popular throughout Indonesia. Make your own nasi padang at home, with a combination of fiery, fragrant recipes, from grilled mackerel covered in a bright red sambal sauce to chicken curry simmered with cardamom, lemongrass, and coconut. Finish the meal with the custardy, caffeine-laced concoction known as kopi telur, a rich combination of sweetened condensed milk, unfiltered coffee, and egg yolks.  |
| famous <b>nasi padang</b> stall in river valley closing down due to rental <b>...</b> Posted: 11 Mar 2014 01:52 AM PDT I am shocked to learn that Nasi Padang River Valley, which has been in business since 1957 will shut its doors at the end of this month! (last day 28 Mar). If you love Nasi Padang, I am sure you would have at least heard of Nasi Padang River Valley. This place is probably one of the most well known places for Nasi Padang in Singapore and it is quite a known fact that one of their regular customers is the Sultan of Brunei who would tarpau food from there whenever he is in Singapore. The restaurant started off as a little stall in River Valley at the corner of Mohd Sultan Road in 1957 and were infamous for its snaking long queues. That was one of the reasons they moved to their present location in 1998. The 2nd generation owner, Zul, tells me that he still pretty much does most of the cooking which is based on his mother's recipes from the Bukit Tinggi region of West Sumatra. (read more from IeatIshootIpost blog here) This Nasi Padang place must be one of the most popular ones in Singapore. It's always crowded whenever I drive past so it is hard to believe that they are closing. Zul tells me that although business is good, the stall is not making money. The increase in rental and food prices are driving up costs while customers still complain if prices go up. They refuse to compromise on quality to save cost, so instead of using ready squeeze coconut milk which is cheaper, they still insist on squeezing their own coconut milk. If we want to preserve our hawker heritage and motivate hawkers to produce good quality food, we really need to get rid our culinary prejudice that refuses to pay $8 for Nasi Padang which is cooked with fresh ingredients and long hours over a stove while happily paying $12 for a Bento which is simply put together with ready made ingredients, just because it is Japanese!
