Padi

A bunch of us headed to Bussorah to soak up the Iftar atmosphere this Ramadan. It was fun and interesting to join our fellow Muslim locals as they partook in the huge Nasi Ambeng platter! The sambal sotong was spicy! Rendang not bad... the sambal goreng and taugeh on the other hand weren’t too fresh. Overall, a great platter for sharing, but some might consider it over-priced Nasi Padang.

The enormous platter is meant for sharing among friends and families. While I can't comment on the beef rendang and paru (lungs), I quite enjoy the sambal squid that comes with tender slices of squid. The serundeng (fried coconut flakes) was nice but could have been spicier. Another great option if you want to try a little bit of everything.
