They do not practice restrain with the "rempah" here, which is why Rumah Makan Minang is one of my top three go-to's for nasi padang whenever a craving strikes.
On rotation for my usual order are: "sotong hitam", "ayam goreng sambal belado" (I swing both ways for the red and green chilli versions), "assam pedas ikan" and "sambal goreng".
The one item I never not get is the "paru" (beef lungs). Theirs is extra appetising as they fry it with a bit of chilli and "serundeng" (spicy fried grated coconut).
Do expect prices to be slightly higher than what you'd pay at most neighbourhood hawker centres though. My plate pictured above plus a cup of "teh o siu dai" came to $10.50. But I think it's worth every cent!
