Warung M. Nasir

My lunch partner and I ordered the following dishes: spiced paru, sambal goreng, tapioca (cassava) leaves lemak, gulai ayam and urap taugeh. The paru, sambal goreng and gulai ayam were over-salted but otherwise lacked flavour and lacked the signature nasi padang fragrance combination of lemongrass, galangal, daun limau purut, daun kunyit and daun salam (and kencur, if they consider themselves authentic). The tapioca leaves lemak was almost tasteless save the natural flavour of the leaves. The urap taugeh was similarly bland. The tahu cubes in the sambal goreng were sour (not fresh) and the gulai ayam did not taste like gulai padang (lemongrass-galangal-fresh turmeric base) but more like Indian curry (cardamom-cinnamon-cloves-curry powder base). The only component that lived up to my expectations, was the sambal belacan. I did not mind the cost of the meal, as I understand the eye-watering rentals in Orchard Road. However, the kitchen failed to deliver in terms of flavour complexity and balance, and aroma, all the reasons I eat Indonesian food. This meal was a disappointment.

One of the best padang/ malay food in town. Every dish is flavourful and freshly cooked. The price point is on a higher side. But considering the location and the quality of the food, it is priced fairly and reasonably. I ordered: seafood + meat + 2 vege and it costs me slightly upward of $10. When I'm in the area, I'll almost never miss the chance to dine in here.

Bought two plates of nasi padang and iced teh tarik and a normal hot teh tarik for $23~. Pretty steep but considering the location and the vibes you get from the place after a nice stroll/shopping session in Orchard road, i think its reasonable. Only complaint i can give is that i wish the dishes were warm but other than that, i will definitely come again. Tbh this was my second visit in a span of a month :) first visit i brought my sister and mum. Everyone i've brought to come here were pleased with the food

We wanted something spicy and were very happy to find out that Warung M. Nasir is available for delivery. It was quite late when we ordered and the lady called to inform that some dishes had ran out but she'll substitute those items with whatever she had. I didn't check the bill but if I'm not wrong, she had also given us complimentary lime juices. We appreciate the gesture and are thankful for the satisfying meal.

One of my favourite places to satisfy a Nasi Padang craving. Located and easy walk from Orchard, it has a great atmosphere that makes me immediately feel at home and welcome. The staff and owners are attentive and friendly, and that they enjoy what they do is apparent in their excellent food. With Nasi Padang you can pick the dishes that you like, and all of the ones I had were delicious without exception. Full of flavour with just the right amount of spice. The Beef Rendang is a specialty here, and I also highly recommend it. 10/10 will come back again to enjoy!
