Ar-Rina Nasi Padang – Bukit Batok Dwellers Love Their Nasi Lemak!
您是否知道Nasi Lemak曾经被《时代》杂志称为全球10种最健康的早餐之一?这肯定会让我们新加坡人感到震惊。但是,无论是否健康,这些消息都不会遏制我们对马来主食食物的贪婪的食欲。我们偶然发现了Ar-Rina Nasi Padang,这是位于Bukit Batok的一家咖啡店内的一个不起眼的摊位,据称该咖啡店是美味的Nasi Lemak和Nasi Padang的所在地。
Ar-rina Nasi Padang starts selling their nasi lemak as early as 6 in the morning. For $3.50, the Nasi Lemak comes with the usual medley of fried ikan bilis & peanut, chicken wing as well as an egg. The star of the show was the fragrant rice. While the grains were not as rich as I had hoped, the coconut fragrance really came through. The short grains remained fairly moist and nicely separate as well. Add a dollop of sambal chilli to give the rice a pleasant, light kick. Second to the rice was the chicken wing, which was seasoned decently. Owing to the fact that the chicken wings were prepared in the wee hours of the day, the outer crust of the chicken did lack that crispiness when it was served to us (we were there at 10am). Portion-wise, Ar-Rina was generous with their servings. Overall, the nasi lemak was pretty ordinary, but hey, it was a good enough breakfast for the folks of Bukit Batok. Next time, we will be sure to head back at 7 in the morning to try their freshly made nasi lemak!
While some of the Bukit Batok dwellers have raved about the nasi lemak, we could not resist also trying their nasi padang. For $7, we fetched ourselves a pretty decent portion of chicken rendang, stingray fish, curry vegetables atop short–grain rice. Unfortunately, the texture and taste of the chicken rendang was far from ideal. Unlike the fork-tender meat you get in a good rendang, the rendang ($3) here was slightly tough and stringy. The meat and the sauce felt like two separate elements which failed to come together. We were not impressed with the mildly–flavoured stingray as well, which was tough and dry. We suspect that the fish could have been overcooked. The only saving grace of the nasi padang was the curry vegetables, which arrived soft andlemak足够的。一个谨慎的话:如果您订购了黄貂鱼或章程,请为激烈的体验做好准备。
EPOK EPOK在AR-RINA NASI PADANG服役仅需50美分。现在,不是便宜吗?但是,这里的EPOK EPOK将有资格成为低于平均水平的小吃。这些马来咖喱泡芙的外壳略微陈旧,这可能意味着像Nasi Lemak一样的Epok Epok是在清晨准备的。每个EPOK EPOK都出现在马铃薯或沙丁鱼填充物中,不幸的是,这两者都令人难忘。前者非常甜蜜,而后者则令人不愉快。与位于Seah IM食品中心的Makanboleh的Makanboleh相比,此版本显得苍白。
It is difficult to decide whether Ar-Nina Nasi Padang is really worth the visit. However, if you are willing to sacrifice your sleep and drop by to try their nasi lemak early in the morning when the food is freshly made, do share with us your thoughts about this stall!
