Bad customer service. Staff not friendly and helpful. Expecially the indian guy whom i tink is incharge of cashier and the malay lady who prepare the noodles. Been here for a couple of times but still the same service. Prefer the one at IMM under Ginger.

The restaurant decoration was nice, but the taste of the food was quite average. In fact the briyani rice was not properly cooked. It’s dry and hard. For the price I paid, I could have gotten a better briyani elsewhere.

Take away for the rice. 2 vege + 1 small curry chicken meat with a total cost of $8.10 and the dishes are cold when I reached back to eat. Not even warm at all. Anyway, this is the 1st and last try.

Had an early lunch there today. Got rude service. Rude and curt. Almost being snapped at by the woman serving the mee siam. Sad dining experience. Mee siam is not sour enough. Gravy is somewhat "milky". Wonder why Good thing the tables are clean

I've tried this store multiple times for lunch, sampling various dishes from chicken and mutton to beef rendang. Today, I ordered the beef rendang, while my colleague opted for the chicken rendang. The set came with two side dishes, including options like fried egg, vegetables, fried tofu, or Begedil. *Customer Service* The auntie who served us was friendly and communicative, making requests easy. With minimal fuss, I'd rate their customer service (4/5). *Beef Rendang* The beef rendang stood out with its unique, aromatic curry flavor – a true reflection of the chef's skill. The strong, thick curry sauce blended perfectly with the beef, earning a (4/5). *Sides and Extras* The cauliflower was cooked to perfection – crunchy and not overcooked (4/5). The fried egg was omelette-style with a sprinkle of onion leaves for added flavor (3.5/5). *The Chilli Game-Changer* Don't forget their special chilli adding-on if you can handle the heat! It really elevates the whole dish. *Value for Money* The total bill came up to $18.90 for 1 chicken rendang, 1 beef rendang, and 2 coffees. Definitely worth coming back for!

I saw many reviews about their services, but fortunately for me that I didn't experience any of that. We ordered the Nasi Padang and selected our dishes. Overall taste was good and I particularly like the samba chilli which is extremely spicy 🔥🔥🔥.

Finally tried this long standing nasi padang shop, and also got to know that it’s part of the Red Ginger brand which has various other outlets across the island too. 💵 opted for the fish curry set for 2, and added 2 vegetable dishes for a total of under $30 - which we thought was fairly priced given that it’s ultimately a nasi padang shop 🐟 the curry fish head didn’t have a ton of meat, though there’s still enough to go about for the 3 of us - it did come with a lot of vegetables within the claypot though, and did taste a little spicy. The tahu goreng that comes with the set was well seasoned, easy to go down too. 🥔 the potato was one of the nicest ones i have had, with that flour coating that other shops don’t usually have 🥦 broccoli was pretty normal, a must have dish in our meals (a green of some sort) Definitely a spot we will return in future for our nasi padang fix now that we have tried it once!

One of the best places to eat with vegetarian options between Jem and Westagte. Foodjunction has so few vegetarian options, even the mixed rice it’s almost all meat/fish. The quality of food is very good and they have a roasted potato dish that is suuuuper good. Ladiesfingers and mixed long beans and eggplant was also very good. Also quite good prices. Highly recommended!

Mee Siam (SGD $6.90) @ Rumah Sayang. . Opened in June 2013 by the Red Ginger Group, this casual eatery is known for their delicious Malay-Peranakan dishes, and typically attracts queues during meal times. . Their rendition has springy rice vermicelli noodles, crisp garlic chives, crisp bean sprouts, spongy tofu puffs, and bouncy hard boiled chicken egg, with grainy vegetal herbal eggy sweet savoury flavour. . The gravy is thin and mellow, with mild savoury sweet zesty sour tangy spice flavour, with a slight kick from added lime juice. . The unique addition is otah, the tender soft spiced fish paste having a smoky savoury salty spice flavour.

Never disappointed with the food and beverages served. Fast and staff acknowledge and even have time to engaged with guest. Besides lunch hour, the rest of the timing is great to have some local delights. Today is the prata set and iced cold barley.

This place is usually crowded, so am glad to be here on a quiet weekend morning. Echo the previous reviews that the service staff is efficient but don’t expect smiles and friendly banter. Lontong was good, just the right spice level

16/1/24, New Year try the nasi Lemak still as good as before . Today pack 2 x Nasi Lemak - just as warm and good as eating at the shop. Best Nasi Lemak, have lunch twice a month - Nasi Padang is excellent too. They branches in IMM WOODLAND and PAYA LEBAR. May 3, after doing the election vote decided to have Nasi Lemak, very good. Coffee is good. Everything is good. We recommend this place for spicy food.

Good selection of dishes which were tasty and portions were pretty generous too. Conveniently located within Jem, can see why this place is always usually full as well. Good amount of seats with a pretty quick turnover, and probably a more economical option within Jem (depending on the chosen dishes)

B1 at Jem and looks good. We ordered fish and Rendumg beef both good 😊 yummy 😋 They have many choices so you can choose from chicken 🍗 beef 🥩 fish 🐟 to vegetarian. They also have different types of rice. Just the lady who took the order is a little bit pushy so I was really nervous 😥. But nevertheless it’s a good choice!

Mee rebus was extremely yummy & we had added bergedil. Service staff can be a little too fierce (especially towards non-locals) but otherwise, they are pretty fast and efficient.
