Warong Nasi Pariaman
(corner of North Bridge Rd and Kandahar St, near Sultan Mosque)
7.30am to 3pm daily Closed on Sundays and Public Holidays
Probably the oldest Nasi Padang stall in Singapore. My Indonesian grandad loves this place very much. He said the food is very authentic Padang style. My grandad was born in Binjai, Medan Indonesia. He will always visit this place each time he's in town. This place was recommended to me by my auntie. Lots of memories for her at this place. The food and the place seems like the old days..... but NOT the price. The prices then were way much cheaper. But it's still very reasonably priced compared to eating in an Indonesian restaurant in town.
The signature dish of Warong Nasi Pariaman is the ayam bakar (barbequed chicken served in a mildly spicy thick coconut milk gravy), a must-eat dish at the stall. Other specialties are the beef rendang, ikan bakar (barbequed fish, marinated in tamarind-based sauce, grilled over charcoal and served with sweet black soya sauce, onion, rings, green chillies and lime) and the sambal goreng (a mixture of long beans, tempeh and fried beancurd).
One has to be there early to get a seat at the warong (stall). By noon, all the tables will be taken as the office crowd swarms the stall. To get packed lunches, one may have to queue for at least 15 minutes. Families usually come for Saturday lunches. Friday is particularly busy for the stall as Malays will visit in droves after their Friday prayers at the nearby Sultan Mosque.
