Rendezvous Restaurant Hock Lock Kee <b>Nasi Padang</b> Posted: 17 May 2014 12:07 AM PDT I distinctly remember a former colleague of mine many years ago talking about how good this place was. But I've never been a huge fan of nasi padang, so I never made any effort to try it when it was at Hotel Rendezvous. Today, we needed a quick lunch though, and their current location at the Central was right in front of us, so we figured that we'd give it a try (6 Eu Tong Sen Sreet #02-72, 6339-7508). Now I finally see why he liked it so much. Seriously, if all nasi padang were as good as this, I would be eating it a lot more frequently. The difference here was not just the quality of the ingredients, but also that one can actually taste things like eggplant rather than being overwhelmed with all of the spices. The sambal here was neither too stanky nor sweet, and those little begedil patties were fun to eat too. It was only when we paid did reality strike: those items pictured above plus one dessert, two plates of rice, and two drinks were a whopping S$46 (US$37), which was multiple times more than what I would have expected to pay at other nasi padang shops. Still, I liked it, and I'll come back.

eastcoastlife: <b>Nasi Padang</b> in Singapore - PhotoHunt Posted: 24 Apr 2014 05:18 PM PDT An Indonesian Nasi Padang restaurant in Singapore  PhotoHunt theme : Ink/ Traces I ate at a popular Nasi Padang restaurant in Jakarta several years ago. Last month I discovered that it has set up a branch in my neighbourhood. Neighbours and friends who have eaten at the restaurant strongly recommended it. One night, my husband and I brought some overseas guests to the restaurant. The immense variety of dishes, which are cooked fresh every day, blew us away. Although the dishes were too spicy for our guests, they enjoyed the rich favour and aroma of each dish. We had a delightful dinner. This is how the Indonesian restaurant serves their delicious Nasi Padang dishes in Jakarta. Waiters placed a large number of small platters bearing different types of dishes on our table. Platters that have been touched will be billed; untouched platters are taken away and served to the next table. *shocked* This seems an unhygienic way to serve food. My dishes may have visited a number of other tables before they landed on mine! Could you see if there are any traces of the dishes having been touched by other diners? Squids cooked in their own ink. This is too gross to put into my mouth but my guests enjoyed it.

S M Ong: Shitty times: Nasi goreng poisoning, $9.70 <b>nasi padang</b> <b>...</b> Posted: 10 May 2014 11:26 AM PDT Last week at home, I went to the toilet and read The Straits Times while taking a dump. After I was done, I joined my teenage daughter at the dining table where she was having her lunch. Although I had already eaten, I wanted to keep her company since she always complains about having to eat alone. But instead of appreciating my thoughtfulness, she recoiled in horror as I sat next to her and continued reading the paper. "What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm eating!" "I thought you wanted me to sit with you," I said. "But you just went to the toilet," she said. "So?" I asked. "I washed my hands." "Your shit newspaper!" I was confused at first by what she meant. I know some people like to call The Straits Times "The Shitty Times", but I think my daughter meant it more literally. She was not referring to what was in the paper, but what might be on it. Apparently, just because I took the newspaper into the toilet with me, to her, it was as good as I had wiped my ass with it – which, I should make clear, I didn't. I wanted to tell her about the faeces transplants at NUH that I had just read about in the paper, but was afraid it would ruin her appetite even more. Shitty times indeed. By the way my daughter over-reacted, it was like I committed some sort of heinous food crime by sitting with my toilet-tainted newspaper at the dining table where she was eating the mixed vegetable rice I had bought for her. You would think that I had tried to poison her with some over-spicy nasi goreng kampung. Maybe she should go to Johor Baru and make a police report. Just three months ago, the police chief of Johor assured Singaporeans that we are not specifically targeted by criminals in JB. He said: "Crimes are committed when an opportunity arises regardless of (a victim's) race, religion, sex and nationality." So what he was saying is that if you get scammed, robbed, kidnapped or murdered in JB, be reassured that it's not because you're Singaporean. It's because you're there. The police chief also pointed out that last year, only 397 cases of crime were reported by Singaporeans, compared to 466 in 2012. I wonder if any of those cases included poisoning by nasi goreng kampung. This was what happened to a Singaporean in JB a week and a half ago. Just when you thought it was safe to go back to Johor… On April 30, retiree Lau Thiam Huat paid RM3.50 (S$1.35) for a plate of nasi goreng kampung in a coffee shop at Jalan Bukit Timbalan near City Square shopping centre. It was not the first time he ate the dish there, but this time, it was different. "My tongue was burning by the third mouthful," Mr Lau told The New Paper last week. "It wasn't the kind of burn you usually get from chilli." He stopped eating after that, but still felt the sting on his tongue the next day and decided to make a police report before seeing a doctor. "I wanted to make sure I could nail them down easily if they really meant to poison me." But why would anyone want to poison a 60-year-old Singaporean retiree in JB? It's not like he's King Joffrey at the Purple Wedding. (Uh… belated Game Of Thrones spoiler alert.) "It's just my gut feel," said Mr Lau. Gut feel? Or just acid indigestion? The deputy police chief of South Johor Baru confirmed that the police had received the report, but said no action would be taken because there are no relevant laws about this matter. What kind of cowboy town is this? How can there be no law against poisoning by nasi goreng kampung? That's anarchy! And you can spray-paint that on top of a Toa Payoh HDB block. On second thought, don't. Of course, there is no lack of food crime in Singapore as well. Just last month alone, Stomp.com.sg posted two complaints from people claiming they were overcharged for nasi padang. One woman paid $7 for rice, fried fish and mussels. Another guy paid $9.70 for rice, chicken, vegetable and stingray. Mr Lau might have been poisoned by his $1.35 nasi goreng kampung, but at least he wasn't overcharged for it. More seriously, it seems that Burger King Singapore has been guilty of skimping on the rendang sauce in its Rendang Burger, which was reintroduced last month. The fast food chain posted this mea culpa on Facebook on Thursday: "Yes, BK fans. We hear you. We understand that the Rendang sauce is what makes the Rendang Burger so delicious. So from now on, you'll get more yummy Rendang sauce in every Rendang Burger… "Also, we'd like to ask for your help – if you still encounter dry Rendang Burgers, please send us a PM with your contact and date+time+location of your purchase!" Regular readers of this column may recall that last year, Burger King also brought back the Rendang Burger for a limited time but added mayonnaise which I called "a crime against nature and all taste buds". Fortunately, this year, Burger King has ditched the mayo, so I don't have to make a police report. I'll probably buy the Rendang Burger for my daughter for lunch tomorrow to make up for the newspaper incident. The burger better not be dry. Unfortunately, the rendang sauce looks a lot like… never mind. Brings a whole new meaning to faeces transplant. - Published in The New Paper, 11 May 2014

What&#39;s Happenin&#39; Lately?! | From <b>Nasi Padang</b> to Dumplings Posted: 08 May 2014 06:03 AM PDT So, I've neglected this blog for a while (gasp!). But, I do have my reasons. I guess. Anyways, here's what's been happening with my life in China: 1. Midterms ended two weeks ago. It went well, all my marks were above 80%. I'm very satisfied indeed. 2. I found how crazy crowded Hangzhou would be during Golden Week. So, when I was stuck in HZ for the Mayday holiday, I avoided the West Lake like the plague. But still managed to enjoy the brilliant weather and not get too pissed off by the crowd (more on that later). 3. Part of the reason why I haven written here in a while was because I've been occupying myself with other writing projects. I recently wrote for Elite Daily and The Jakarta Globe. Go check 'em out, if you'd like! 4. Speaking of writing projects, I'm also going to apply for the World Nomads Travel Scholarship as well as the ASEAN Young Writer's Competition. Finger's crossed all will go well! 5. I have a field trip to Shaoxing tomorrow! I jumped at the chance of travelling somewhere and only paying 20 RMB for the whole thing! Well, that's all folks! More updates coming soon hopefully! Like this: Like Loading...

Istimewa <b>Nasi Padang</b> – Eating Red Series | Unlikely Lady of Leisure Posted: 14 Apr 2014 10:13 PM PDT April 15, 2014 by selenaquah Istimewa Nasi Padang is one of my favourite nasi padang (Malay rice and dishes) places.  I still remember Jon sneaking home food from there during my first confinement when my Mum was stricter with what I could or could not eat after delivery. This place is hot stuff.  Lunch queues are always long, snaking around the coffeeshop.  And a good indicator of quality food is the number of cabbies who go there to eat everyday.  The taxi drivers know best! They have a wide variety of yummy dishes to choose from, making choosing what to eat a battle between greed and belly space.  They are famous for the rendang (dry curried meat), and that was what I was there for that day to fulfil my red meat quota.  The beef rendang was so tender and very lemak (Malay for rich and robust tasting, usually for food cooked with coconut milk).  Their sambal chilli is also kick-ass. Many of the office workers flock there in groups and order a range of dishes to share.  That's the best, then you get to try more stuff! Try to reach early (before 1130am) if you want to avoid the queues, but generally the queues move very quickly because there are usually about 4-5 people serving customers during lunch time. The long snaking queue all the way round the bend Nearing… My turn! Beef rendang, sambal kangkong, sayur lodeh, with sambal chilli – yum! Istimewa Nasi Padang is found at the coffeeshop at 28 Hoy Fatt Road. Like this: Like Loading...

$7 <b>Nasi Padang</b> - www.hardwarezone.com.sg Posted: 08 Apr 2014 07:31 PM PDT Stomper Sean and his wife was surprised to find out that a plate of Nasi Padang from Lucky Plaza's basement food court cost $7 for fried fish and mussels. Initially, the Nasi Padang cost $10 together with salted fish. Said Stomper Sean: "The stall did not display the prices of the variety of dishes, so my wife initially picked a slice of fried fish, mussels and salted fish. "When she found out it cost $10, she told the lady to remove the salted fish and asked how much again and the lady said $7, for two dishes! "$3 for the fried fish, $3 for the smallest portion of mussels and $1 for the rice! "My wife was very upset so I approached the lady and asked her how does one charge these prices?! It's a food court, besides I think the type of food is also a consideration. "The fish was tasteless and the mussels were cold. As I walked off, they laughed at us! "I think Singaporeans would pay top dollar for good food even if it means traveling to an isolated location, however, we should also caution people to be careful with these stalls. "Sometime later, I got a friend to order the same dishes, and to my surprise it came up to $8.50. Nadi padang now like stock market."
