The tiny anchovies was super crispy!
Warong Java
Address 🛖 : Blk 16 Bedok South Road, # 01-17 Bedok South Market & Food Centre, Singapore 460
Introduced by the OG foodie in the family, my mum, I got to know about “Warung Java”. Located in a coffeeshop at Blk. 539 Bedok North St. 3, this stall is popular for its Malay dishes.
I consider their Nasi Rawon one of the best around. Besides being large in portion, the all-important beef and “buah keluak” gravy splashed over the rice is fragrant and generous with pieces of beautifully tender meat. So is the paru (beef lungs) which surprises me greatly because rarely if ever, does this organ come in such a cushiony-soft state. Equally eager to yield to the bite is thinly-sliced cuttlefish cooked in slightly sweet sambal. While chopped long beans provide some fresh crunch, the begedil (spiced mashed potato patty) scores above average in size and tastiness. Automatically included with the Nasi Rawon is a sambal belachan which is of sweat-will-break-out standard.
If you love Malay food like I do, this stall is a must-visit.
