Kampong Glam Cafe offers not just the usual nasi padang dishes but Malay favourites such as mee rebus, ayam soto, mee siam and lontong. It's really cheap, our entire meal, including drinks, cost less than $30! Take note though, the mee rebus and ayam soto are only available after the peak lunch hours, around 2pm.
We had:
1) Lontong - rich, spicy, tumeric base that complemented the plain soft moist ricecakes, and the still-crunchy-but-slightly-softened cabbage, long beans and carrots. Topped with some flossy pounded dried shrimp and sweet sambal chili, this really packed a punch
2) Fried Beansprouts - very clean flavours, seasoned only by sliced red chilis, spring onions and the barest minimum of soy
3) Fried Egg with Dark Soy and Cut Chilis - delicious, even if the egg was a little rubbery. I think it was the combination of the slightly sweetened smoky saltiness of the dark soy, the tart raw onions, and the spice of the red chilis
4) Sayur Lodeh, using the same curry vegetables as those in the lontong, was really yummy as well. And really, if you didn't add extra chili to this dish, this was really quite mild and low on the spice level
5) Beef Rendang- I think they gave us the tendon part, which was why this was so chewy and tough. Still, the spice paste was suitably hot and aromatic
