Who could have said to have been to Singapore if they have never tried traditional Malay cuisine before? Indochilli serves up some of our favourite Indonesian-Malay dishes in a slightly more ‘posh’ setting as compared to the kopitiams that we are used to; definitely a welcoming option for our sun-fearing office crowd.
I had the Nasi Kampung which the waitress assured me was vegetarian friendly. The dish was a simple plate of rice and an assortment of sides such as omelette, urap, tempe, balado, bakwan jagung, pickles and toasted coconut. What I really like about such dishes, are the savoury and spicy flavours that they bring to a simple plate of rice. I was a little disappointed though in this instance where I found the side dishes to be a little on the oily side and the flavours were found to be slightly lacking. Still, it was refreshing to have a large array of side dishes to pair with the rice and each mouthful was a pleasant treat.
A decent dish, although the quality could be better to match up to the price tag. An option to consider if you are in the area!
