Rumah Makan Minang

Tucked beside the Sultan Mosque in Kampong Glam, Rumah Makan Minang has served Minangkabau-style nasi padang since 1954, one of the oldest in the area. Point at the spread to build your plate — beef rendang, sambal goreng, gulai and sayur lodeh ladled over rice. The setting is humble and the food homely, generous and halal, drawing both worshippers and tourists exploring the historic quarter. It pairs perfectly with a wander down Arab Street and Haji Lane afterwards. Go at lunch when the spread is freshest and fullest.
