Desa Rancapanggung
740 Bedok Reservoir Rd, Happy Hawkers Coffeeshop (Map) 7am to 3pm Fri
You will see stuff like sambal quails egg and chilli sausage, not quite things you find in a true nasi padang stall. But they are nasi kampung melayu folks. Rendang, opor ayam, chicken rendang, lemak nangka (baby jackfruit) are all just some the favourites here. Their rendang comes chunky yet soft and flaky. Peel it off and savour the beefy goodness over rice. The chicken rendang is parboiled then finished in a thick rich and saucy rempah. Both, outstanding. The other goodies are black squid, sambal prawns and assam pedas fish. The queue forms by 11am, so go early.

The family hail from the land of nasi padang in Padang, West Sumatra decades ago. Many of the top nasi padang names here are their kampung buddies back in the day and they kept the faith. The new location here still offers the classics that their regulars love- the grill fish layered with onions, lime and green chilli, the assam pedas fish, rendang and host of others. They make them all on site in this bigger than the last, kopitiam stall and it’s great to have them when it comes off the pots and woks at like 11am or so. They are a legend hawker brand in Singapore.
