PRices and Menu Verified as of May 2025

Rumah Makan Minang – A Taste of West Sumatra’s Rich Culinary Heritage

Minangkabau cuisine, also known as Nasi Padang, is well-known for its complex flavours, use of coconut, chili, and slow-cooked spices. Rumah Makan Minang has upheld this tradition since the 1950s, founded by Hajah Rosemah in Kampong Glam. Today, it's helmed by her family’s third generation, preserving age-old recipes that honour their Sumatran roots.

Whether you're craving tender rendang, fiery sambals or comforting sayur lodeh, every dish bursts with heritage and heat. Popular among locals and tourists alike, Rumah Makan Minang delivers an unforgettable meal rooted in Indonesian culture.
