| <b>Nasi Padang</b>: An Awesome Taste for Food Explorers Posted: 12 Aug 2014 01:21 AM PDT We all know that Singapore has different cuisines. Actually, the different culture that conquered Singapore had contributed a lot to the Singapore's food preparation, taste and style. Today, there are four main cuisines in Singapore. These are Chinese cuisine, Indian, Malay and the Peranakan cuisine. As usual, Chinese bring the recipe for noodles, sushi and other raw foods.
For Indians, they have shared delectable coconut milk recipes while the Malay and Peranakan contributed to the hot and spicy dishes in Singapore. Of all the cuisines in Singapore, Chinese cuisine was the popular not just because they have the most number of races in the country but because it is loved by many Singaporeans. On the other hand, Indian recipes are also included on the list.
One great recipe prepared by Indians is the Nasi padang. Nasi padang is a dish that is uniquely cooked in a hot and dry manner but it is a very flavorful food. Actually, there are a lot of food stalls and restaurants in Singapore that serves nasi padang. The most well-liked Nasi padang booth in the country is the Hajjah Maimunah Nasi Padang. The place provides a homey experience wherein your family members and friends can share buffet. You may also find some time to relax by finding the best Nasi Padang stalls in the vicinity.

| Faerie Tales: Kayat <b>Nasi Padang</b> Posted: 04 Aug 2014 07:08 PM PDT Besides greedily stuffing our mouths and stomachs full at Raya parties, we also asked for the friends' personal recommendations of good nasi padang stalls around the island. I have my favorites but it's time to branch out to other parts of the island. Nasi padang is something I track down with a vengeance. Not the puny ones please. I like the Malay-interpretation of Padang-style food infused with awesome spices. Meaning, I absolutely dislike Rendezvous Restaurant Hock Lock Kee. Hated it when the family forced me to eat there all the time as a kid, and totally avoid it now. Sometimes I find gems, but often I also rely on friends who tastebuds match mine. Otherwise I'm always sorely disappointed by random recommendations. Zoomed to Tampines to its market and food centre. Went looking for the new-to-me Kayat Food Stall to check out its offerings. I know the nasi padang stalls in Bedok pretty well. But not Tampines. Fun to check out a new area. It was a cool day and wasn't that crowded at lunch-time. More worried that at 1.30pm, most stalls would have run out of food. Kayat was running low, but luckily, it had one last portion of sambal goreng for me. As usual, I judge all nasi padang stalls by their sambal belachan or belado, begedil and paru. Never mind the rest of their food. Heh. Kayat offers sambal paru and the usual paru goreng. YUM. Pretty decent. Good sambal belachan. Considering I came all the way here just for its nasi padang, it wasn't bad at all. Satisfying. If I'm in the area, definitely swinging by again.

| When in Jakarta, eat <b>Nasi Padang</b>! - Bangsar Babe Posted: 02 Jul 2014 03:02 AM PDT  Ayam bakar, ayam pop and ayam goreng In my recent two work travels to Jakarta, I ate a fair bit of nasi padang; a feast of assorted meats, fish and vegetables, eaten with white rice and fiery sambal. I dined at Sari Indah, Sari Ratu and Garuda, where the nasi padang is served "hidang" style. The dishes are laid out on the table and you're only charged the items you eat.  Es Teler I haven't eaten enough Nasi Padang to judge, but the dishes from Sari Ratu are quite tasty – best among the three. What fascinates me is the mind boggling array each restaurant offers. There's at least four types of chicken, from grilled (ayam bakar), to fried (ayam goreng) to Padang style (ayam pop), best eaten with sambal.  Garuda Nasi Padang  Gulai Otak (cow's brain) And then you have curries or gulai, creamy yet spicy and best eaten with white rice. Sari Indah serves several versions, including cow liver and cow brain (gulai otak). I tried some brain which was actually very tasty once you get over the fact that you're eating a brain. That said, skip the brains at Garuda, for they don't do it well.  The yummy spread at Sari Indah  Garuda nasi padang display Prices aren't exactly cheap. Expect to pay between RM30-50 per head for a full course nasi padang meal. More if you order prawns, which I did. Good stuff though.
