Hajjah Maimunah restaurant @ Jalan Pisang, Singapore.

In singapore, it's a bit hard to find malay rice. You'll get the usual fare nasi padang, but for those who knows, malay rice is a bit different from nasi padang; one is from this region, and the latter padang. Anyway hajjah maimunah is a mix of both, i guess thats why i keep coming back to this restaurant compared to the other nasi padang restaurants.


Sorry for the blurry pics, was halfway eating,  had a few friends over we had a feast.
ordered ayam masak lemak (chicken in yellow gravy coconut spicy sauce), snails masak lemak (same style of cooking, the snails are awesome!), sambal goreng , anchovies with petai (smelly beans, to die for), beansprouts, sup ekor (oxtail soup) and ikan pari asam pedas (stingray sweet sour spicy gravy, another dish i highly recommend).


Close up of the snails, you need to order this, messy but good.


ikan bakar (grilled fish) with the soya dippin sauce, it complements very well. and some old school vege/ulam with sambal belacan. Only thing i missed, which you can't find here in singapore (correct me if im wrong) sambal tempoyak which is the fermented durian paste. Top it off, some teh botol for drinks, yummy.

This place is definitely one of my tops. Even it was featured in Anthony Bourdain.
