I wasn't even supposed to have lunch here, but the apparent queue forming outside the shop and the smell of fried chicken wafting through the corridors surrounding the shop proved too hard for me to resist. There are quite a number of dishes to choose from, seemingly prepared in Indonesian style, and a number of curries available too; I went for the fried potato, fried chicken (of course!) and the sunny side-up that seemed to be cooked with a kecap manis-esque sauce and onions for $7. All the dishes were delicious; from the crisp batter of the fried potato consisting of mushy and fluffy potatoes within carrying just a light touch of saltiness to the lightly crisp yet surprisingly succulent and juicy fried chicken done Indo-style with lemongrass and the egg; despite not being able to flow with its solid yolk, but the kecap manis worked really well for a little sweetness like how some love to eat their sunny side up with soya sauce. Opt to drench the rice with their Chicken Curry; extremely creamy, rich and Lemak with its deep coconut flavours and also one option that fits best with those who can't take spiciness. Two types of chili is served here; sweet or spicy — the latter is one that is similar to the Indonesian-style chili you get with Ayam Penyet. A particularly hidden gem in Orchard, and even though the place is modest and sits 17 with a little squeeze, it's definitely worth checking out for a meal below $10 in Orchard Road that gives a lot of bang for the buck — satisfaction guaranteed.

PS: Pardon me for this weird photo; Nasi Padangs aren't the easiest thing to take photos of especially when you are caught at a cramped communal table meant for 8 in a small eatery with all the patrons and people in the queue looking at you.
