Rumah Makan Minang (Our Tampines Hub)

Finally, you can get dinner at Minang as the restaurant launches their set meals such as the popular Ayam Goreng Set and my recommended Ikan Belado Hijau Set, the latter comes with a thick cut of fish paired with a spicy green chilli sauce. Besides the set meals, there are also the all-day breakfast favourites and popular tahu goreng.

($18) in total. 1)Curry Cabbage - Taste resembles like lontong.
2)Beef rendang - Like the firmness of beef,the chili spice gives the beef the right amount of spiciness
3)Chicken - Saucy and tender.
4) Boiled Eggs - Bouncy, saucy,enjoyable to consume.
5) Tauhu - Oiliness, vegetable and toufu hits the right notes on the tongue,cooked rite. Got some element will shoot up to the nose, not the swab test kind.

We initially want to order the ‘Sayur Gulai Nangka’ (jackfruit curry) but they only have 2 bowls left with sparse jackfruit inside. So we decide to switch to green dish with this ‘Sayur Pucuk Ubi’ instead. The tapioca leaf (sweet potato leaf) in coconut gravy is light (way too light than the jackfruit one). It is definitely healthy but not a strong dish we would say.

We always love the green idea of botok (a traditional Java dish). Grated coconut leftover is mixed with fish and triangularly wrapped in banana leaf and then steamed. This dish fares better with aromatic flavour and chunky fish (with no bones). The portion is great for sharing 2-3 persons per 1 pc.

Visit OTH as we got to run errand there so we pop to Minang in the basement. The Ikan sepat petai has 1 fried fish, 2 tofus and 2 Petai Beans and plenty of chilli but surprisingly we found both the chilli & the fish way too salty. We suspect there must be a kitchen mishap! 😬

We call it “green chilli chicken”. The chicken is marinated well as we feel that it is aromatic with herbs and spices. Although the chicken skin is not crispy, the golden brown color and the taste is really spot on! 👌
P.S. can always top up green chilli small box which they sell separately (as in our earlier post)
