Had such a satisfying dinner buffet experience at Chopstix & Rice, Suntec City. Love that this is Singapore’s first Indonesian à la carte dinner buffet, and the spread was full of bold, authentic Padang flavours. The Soup Daging was super flavourful with bouncy meatballs, and the Beef Rendang truly lived up to the hype — tender, rich, and deeply aromatic with spices. Also really enjoyed the Ayam Lemak, which was fragrant, creamy, and had just the right kick, plus the Assam Pedas Ikan Pari was so appetising. What makes it even better is the free-flow soup, crackers, ice cream, and drinks, which makes the buffet feel very value for money. At $28++, it’s a great spot for family dinners and gatherings, especially with kids dining free with every paying adult. Service was warm, the dishes came out fresh, and the whole meal felt comforting and indulgent. Will definitely be back for more rendang and sambal dishes!
Ordered several dishes, ayam lemak, ayam goreng belado, beef rendang, tempe goreng, eggplant belado and toufu w/ minced chicken. Ayam lemak and beef rendang was mediocre, the belado chilli was waaaaay too salty for both eggplant and fried chicken. Fried tempe too dry, toufu w/ minced chicken don't even know how to describe the taste, just weird. In all honesty, none of the dishes tasted anything like authentic Indonesian. It tasted more like peranakan style way of cooking. The moment i read the menu descriptions, i could tell the dishes would not be authentic Indonesian. It's kind of disappointing. But overall they can still be considered normal local nasi padang.
