I been having their ayam baakar since the 1980s.. Now I’m 50 years old.. brought back tears thinking about the times I had this with my dad..

To be honest there are no more authentic nasi padang in sgpore. Today nasi padang has some malay influenced. The nearest place to get 100% authentic nasi padang is in Batam where they is a huge Padang Minang community there. The one is Jakarta and Padang the birthplace. When you are there plse dun forget to try nasi kapau

Amoy Street Food Centre is one of the favourite dining spots nearby the Central Business District and is managed by National Environment Agency (NEA).

According to NEA, the stall occupancy rate of the food centre was about 90% last month, out of a total of 135 stalls. Hawkers have to submit monthly rental bids during NEA’s monthly tender exercises to secure a stall there, Stalls are awarded to the highest bidder.

Mr Seetoh criticised the practice of bidding for hawkers to secure a stall in the hawker centre, arguing that the government should do away with it and offer fair rentals and give it to the most deserving hawkers. My opinion exactly get rid of the bidding system

[@martinarchie2902]

Some former coffee shop vendors were encouraged to bid high rental prices because of the heavy subsidies for rent and services handed out by the government during the pandemic.

[@martinarchie2902]

Get rid of the bidding process la, ” said Makansutra founder Kf Seetoh, in response to the recent news report on vacant stalls in the bustling Amoy Street Food Centre.

Lah.. Marga tambunan yg punya warung nasi padang. Haha...

[@martinarchie2902]

Some of the stalls listed moved here from coffee shops. They believe that hawker centre vendors enjoy government subsidies during the epidemic, so it is more secure to set up stalls in hawker centres. ”

[@martinarchie2902]

Many of these young hawkers closed their stalls after a few months, due to a high starting rent and being unable to generate enough income to make ends meet.

You want real authentic,just come to Indonesia and try. That menanti is not authentic,the ingredients different lah compared to those in Indonesia. Come to jakarta, many good Padang restaurant and much cheaper.
