So yesterday, in a rare moment of family time, we went for lunch at Hajah Maimunah Restaurant. I’ve only been to the Arab Street branch once, many years back so this was a sort of new dining experience for me.

For the uninitiated, Hajah Maimunah serves a huge variety of Nasi Padang dishes and also traditional Malay kueh. And these below are our chosen dishes for the day:

Beef Rendang

Lemak Siput (Escargot)

Anybody out there who doesn’t know how to eat this? You suck. I mean it, you need to suck on it!

Salad (lettuce, cucumber and kacang botok) with Sambal Belacan

Very tasty sambal I must say.

Fried Fish

This came with yummy sambal kicap by the side (with chili padi in it).

Paru Belado (Sambal Beef Lungs)

Some Seafood Dish

Sorry can’t really name this one. All I know is that it’s some kind of seafood. Not even on the online menu! But it’s yummy tho!

Bergedil (Potato Balls)

Lemak Nangka (Jackfruit)

One more look at all the food!

The address for this Hajah Maimunah outlet is:
