Sabar Menanti Nasi Padang

50 Kandahar Street

What can I say – I almost always have the same dishes here: ikan baker (grilled fish) served with a sweet dark sauce, fresh chopped onions and chillies, jack fruit curry, sambal goreng (a tempeh and vegetable stir-fry), beef rendang (a dry beef curry), tapioca leaves in a light curry sauce…

Can’t seem to have enough nasi padang, the Malay version of a mixed vegetable stall. Simply go to the counters and point at everything your heart desires, which in my case, is usually everything!!! Some of the best nasi padang can be found in the Arab Street area.

Good thing about Sabar Menanti, besides the great food, is the airconditioned dining room that comes in real handy in this heat. Prices are not cheap though – our meal for two (sure I tend to over-order, but I finish most of it as well) costS$22 / US$14.
