Situated near Haji Lane and Arab Street, it's quite near to Bugis MRT via the Downtown Line (Blue Line), just a short walk away. Seating is ample, but a little cramped. There are a few seats within the main eatery itself, but next door there's a second space both on the 1st floor and 2nd that you can dine at. The Nasi Padang is really good. Not very oily like most other places and it's cooked fresh. And it's considered affordable compared to coffeeshops and cafeterias, yet has comfortable seating. Had the fried chicken, tempeh with beans and other leafy vegs. (don't know the name, just know it tastes good). The barley drink was very sweet, though. It gets crowded during lunch time so do arrive around 11:45am or earlier if you 2ant to avoid the crowds.
Not my first visit to Hjh Maimunah Restaurant … they’ve been quite consistent with their nasi padang offerings over time at other outlets too. The flavours are rich, comforting, and reliably satisfying.😋 Tip: besides the usual belachan sambal chilli, try topping your rice with serunding - a fragrant, spiced grated coconut condiment that adds a nice extra layer of flavour. One small suggestion: the Level 2 dining area can feel a bit warm & stuffy, so adding more wall fans would really improve ventilation and overall comfort lotsssss. Pls consider, youur customers will thank you for it🙏
When you want a home cooked type of food, Hj Maimunah will be the answer. I am a regular customer and i can say the quality is consistent. It's halal, every dish is burst with flavour and it's considered value for money for daily meals. Do notes that during lunch hour 12-2 will be busy so expect to see long que. But if you can come early at 11.30 that's even better!
