The Original Nasi Padang @ River Valley

Posted by CyberTron on Sep 23, 2008 10:35PM
This nasi padang is pretty famous, and at one time, there's actually 2 side by side, which generated some buzz in the newspapers. Not sure where the other has moved to now though, as there's only one left when we were there today.

We ordered 2 chicken, one fried, one sambal, also ordered a sambal prawn, ikan bilis with groundnuts, and one tofu. Inclusive of rice and drinks, the bill came up to $19.50.

Personally, I find the fried chicken a bit dry, which the sambal chicken was pretty nice, same as the ikan bilis. However, the prawn isn't very fresh though, as it taste a bit "soggy".

Overall, find the food here is probably just slightly above average.

    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

    I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

    Leong Kee (Klang) Bak Kut Teh 梁记(巴生) 肉骨茶 @ Geylang
    CyberTron commented..
    hi! The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you. For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

    I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
