[Paya Lebar, Singapore 🇸🇬]

Nasi Rawon (S$6)
Paru (beef lung), bergedil (potato patty), fried tempeh (fermented soya beans), sambal sotong, rawon (nutty beef gravy), sambal belacan, over rice.

Founded in the early 1980s by Madam Zulbaidah Binte Marlian (youngest daughter of Haji Marlian Bin Athar "Bagindo Marlian" and Hajjah Rosemah Binte Mailu) and her husband Mohamad Zin Bin Harun, this heritage brand is probably the most successful in the Nasi Padang family business, with quality being managed consistently through a central kitchen, offering about 70 dishes daily.
.
Today, their children Mohamad Ariff Bin Mohamed Zin, Nur Syahidah Binte Mohamed Zin, and Mohamad Hazmi Bin Mohamad Zin, are taking their family business forward. Their core dishes are widely celebrated, and the buzzing communal dining ambience lends well for large groups and families.

Founded in February 2006 by Madam Rabiah and supported by assistant Jamilah Latiff, this hawker stall is also known as Whampoa Nasi Melayu, offering a range of about 20 dishes daily, all made with fresh ingredients. Their portion sizes are huge and generous, and together with their wallet-friendly affordable prices, attract long queues daily.
.
Purists may argue that their dishes are more Malay than Indonesian Javanese, but are no less tasty or delicious as evidenced by their many loyal and regular customers. Each dish is tasty and well-executed, with flavours being contributed through rich curries rather than dry spices. A recent fire in June 2026 originating from a neighbouring stall has damaged their kitchen equipment, resulting in a temporary closure.

Rendang Curry Beef Burger Meal (S$9.60)
Rendang Curry Beef Burger
Medium French Fries
Small Sprite

Incorporated in May 2009 by Madam Indah but originally founded as a canteen in the Indonesian embassy of Singapore in 2006, this casual restaurant brand specialises in East Javanese cuisine. The philosophy involves the use of fresh ingredients and spices to create complex and layered flavours in dishes.
.
Their signature platters are a showcase of culinary flavours and textures, each component being consistently well-executed. Built around fragrant rice infused with turmeric, the freshness of the accompaniments and the richness of ingredients are a filling spread, although their variety is the smallest, with about 7 dishes available daily for their signature rice platters. Of particular note, they make 3 different peanut gravies here.

[Yishun, Singapore 🇸🇬]

Shiok Fish Burger
Love the chunky fish patty

Jumbo Blue Prawn Hokkien Mee
The sambal was great! It came with strips of chicken breast.

Milo Bandung
Think Milo with hint of cherry flavour

Swensen's
Address : 930 Yishun Ave 2, # 02-14 Northpoint City, Singapore 🇸🇬 769098
Open : 11am - 10.30pm
MRT : Yishun

9/10 The thickness of the noodles and the taste of the sauce goes really well together. The fried chicken is crispy and the flavour is great. It comes with a side of kimchi and pickled radish. Would buy again.

8/10 Good side dish that goes well with any main meal. In this occasion, the karaage was a little too burnt and is a little average tasting. The slightly cold watermelon is the better part of this set. It provides a refreshing and a palette cleanser to combat the heavy taste of the ramen. (Note: only 2 slices will be served per set) Would get again just for the watermelon.
