Eat the Padang

One of the Indonesian food that I miss the most is nasi padang. Nasi padang was originated in Padang Indonesia, when the people tried to prove who the craziest of them all by putting the most chilly into their food.
That's why most food in nasi padang are so hot and spicy. But that doesn't stop people from eating them because they also taste so good and now they become the most popular food in Indonesia. You can go to any place in Indonesia and find Padang restaurant there. You could even go to remote jungles where people still eat people, and you can find nasi padang there, then the tribe would catch you and serve your thigh in coconut gravy. That's how irresistible nasi Padang is.

There are actually many nasi Padang in Singapore, but their taste is not the same as the Indonesian's. Just like Michael Jackson trying to be white, the looks are the same but it just doesn't feel right. There are still differences in the taste.
That's why I was so excited to hear that there's a new Indonesian nasi padang restaurant opened on Lucky Plaza, Orchard road. I heard about it from my friend and went to try it yesterday.
But unfortunately, except for the green chilly, the food is just not like the Padang food in Indonesia. So I still miss the food and still searching. Maybe if I go to a remote jungle here....
