It is indeed a different kinda rendang. Both times when I tabao, the strong authentic curry smell can be detected clearly through the closed tabao boxes & packaging. Meat was super tender, runny centre egg was fried to order and comes with carrot slaw and pineapple. The ikan billis peanut was yummy.
Looking at his setup, and ‘cos he is fairly new to Toa Payoh, one would think it’s a new stall. But uncle has actually been manning the business for more than a decade. Previously he was in maxwell & bukit timah. The many happy customer pictures that line his wall shows how much pride he takes in his work. He says business in Toa Payoh has been disappointing but I tell him it’s just these months, quieter everywhere. At $7.5, not exactly cheap… but it’s cheaper than some nasi padang stalls. And it’s hard to find a good beef rendang these days
