Ahhhh... the gem of indonesian food. this is authentic indonesian food. in the sense that it is flavourful and spicy ^^
indonesia food in malaysia
it's a bungalow setting, no worries bout parking ^^
Padang food has always been associated with spice and chillies in indonesia. we consider them to be the best when it comes to beef rendang and curry chicken. no one can beat them. not even my mum's cooking :(
Traditionally, padang restaurant has 1 distinctive feature. they love to stack plates with food that they sell, high on the front window of their shop. excuse me for bad description ;p anyways, this is one shop from jakarta. maybe from padang too. i'm not too sure. but, their food seem to sell very well in jakarta. hence, they open a branch in malaysia. maybe a hint that suggest the amount of indonesians in malaysia? ;p
instead of a menu, choose ur dish here, at the counter ^^
fine example of food stacking madness @.@
to me, the Padang people (Padangese?) might have the same philosophy about food as that of a chinese. why? this here is a fine example. while, we can turn any part of a pig into a dish, they can turn almost any part of a cow into a dish. hence, u can find cow brain (which somewhat taste close to tofu), cow lung (usually deep fried) and intestine too at this place.
L-R: cow brain, kikil (part of a cow's leg) and cow intestine.
L-R: beef rendang, beef jerky with chili and deep fried lungs
u can choose to dine indoor or outdoor
wedding, anyone?
the staffs are dressed in traditional wardrobe
if you can manage to drive down here, you might as well get served in the padang way. it is somewhat similar to having sushi at kaiten belt. but here, the food comes in small plates to your table.
this is the range of their menu, sort of :) and all on our table of 5
dont worry. you dont have to finish everything that they serve you. this is just how it feels like to dine in a padang restaurant. what's good here? chicken curry. that is one dish that is a benchmark, for me, to measure the goodness of a padang restaurant. if they can get this dish right, you can almost be assured of a good time dining ^^ padang's chicken curry is different from any chicken curry i ate all this long. the curry are more liquidish, but still has all the kick of a curry. yet it is subtle. next, is the beef rendang. beef rendang has to be tender and almost melt in your mouth. it cant taste like u're chewing a slipper. that is a big no no for beef rendang.
Those 2 are the benchmark (for me). once they get these dishes right, i wont object coming to that place again and again. some padang restaurant in indonesia, are more known for their delicious fish head curry than anything else. but that is in indonesia :)
my most memorable time of dining in a padang restaurant was during my 2nd year of high school (equivalent to form 5). 5 of us guys were staying at Puncak (a place like Genting Highlands), where the weather is cool too. so imagine eating something warm and spicy at a cool place..........................done imagining yet????????????? if you cant, imagine having bak kut teh at genting ^^ it is close to that
How to eat padang food according to d2e:
1. get heap of rice on your plate.
2. dont shy away from the curry, get em all.
3. get some chili, balado chili. (it is the red and green chili in a plate)
4. get your meat and veggie
5. dive in with your hands (of cos, dont forget to wash your hands 1st)
6. repeat until you cant move anymore.
other take on natrabu: masak-masak (she just loves the dessert)
