    • Indonesian home-style cuisine from Padang, Sulawesi, and Java: As one of the oldest Indonesian restaurants in Singapore, Tambuah Mas has won people’s hearts by serving up all the basic dishes from Padang, Sulawesi, and Java.

    Bara Food Tanjong Pagar

    • Highlights:

    • Rich, authentic Indonesian grilled flavors with Nasi Bakar as the star: Bara Food recreates some of Indonesia’s most common and loved street foods that are typically grilled over charcoal. While it offers the usual satay and fish, the star is actually a side dish, Nasi Bakar, which is rice wrapped in banana leaves and grilled over fire. The smokiness from the grill elevates the flavor of the rice, which goes well with so many things, from chicken to veggies.
    • A galore of spicy sambal: Sambal is a staple of Indonesian cuisine that can uplift any recipe. Bara Food uses spicy red sambal and sambal matah in many dishes. If you like spice, Bara is the place for you. Order any of its dishes with red sambal for that extra kick of spice.
    • Modern space with a welcoming atmosphere: While you’ll enjoy traditional Indonesian flavors, you’ll be sitting in a small and beautiful space, lit with modern lights and lots of greenery.

    • Highlights:

    • Halal Indonesian restaurant specializing in Padang food: When it comes to Indonesian food, there are many well-known styles. Among them, Padang-style food, the cuisine of the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra, Indonesia, is one of the most famous styles. In Singapore, diners can find the best Padang food at Rumah Makan Minang restaurant, established and run by a multi-generational family that migrated from Padang.
    • The most authentic version of Beef Rendang: Not many of us know that Beef Rendang was invented by the Minangkabau people. If you want to taste the most authentic version of this dish, you should try the one at Rumah Makan Minang. Their spicy rendition features tender beef that is cooked until slightly chewy, allowing all the flavors to gradually burst in the mouth.
