Keep this spot in mind for group outings. Go straight for the Nasi Ambeng ($29.90 for 2pax, $50.80 for 4 pax) that features a mountain of rice surrounded on all sides by bergedils, milky chicken curry and a succulent, slightly spicy rendang. Burppler Jayson Yeo recommends heading over before 8pm as the food sells out pretty early.

Gather the squad for some proper feasting at this eatery tucked away in Somerset. The Nasi Ambeng ($7.90 for 1 pax, $29.90 for 2 pax, $50.80 for 4 pax) holds it own when it comes to flavour, balancing spice, sweetness, richness and saltiness in every bite! Picture a mountain of rice surrounded by sides that include bergidil that is crispy on the outside while pillowy soft on the inside, milky chicken curry, and succulent rendang chunks soaked in thick, slightly spicy sauce. Pro tip: kitchen closes at 8pm so come for lunch or an early dinner to avoid disappointment!

What is nasi ambeng? — you ask. In the words of Tastemaker Shurong Lo, 'think of a typical nasi padang dish but upsized many times over with portions to boot and all on one plate'. That's right. The Nasi Ambeng, a popular Javanese cuisine, takes group dining to another level by putting 7-8 dishes and a heaping mountain of rice on a single sharing tray. Meant to feed four to five people, this is one sharing platter to be enjoyed with sambal-loving family and friends.
