tried my first ever nasi padang from STREAT, one of the events under the Singapore Food Festival! priced at $9 (pretty sure the original price at the stall is waaaaay cheaper), the chicken rendang set came with chicken rendang (of course), bergedil, fried anchovies with peanut and lontong. I was slightly doubtful that this would taste great, since everything was precooked and thus likely to be soggy, but wow I was so wrong. the chicken rendang was so tender and the meat came off so easily. the outside of the bergedil was crispy and the inside was mushy, the way I like it. the fried anchovies with peanuts were so crispy; I'm so thankful for the generous amount of it. and the lontong!!!! wow!!!! the first time I tried lontong, it was so hard and tasteless. it being my first time, I thought lontong always tasted like this and I didn't want to waste my calories on it so I actually asked the stall if I could have less lontong and they kindly gave me one more bergedil instead. the second I tried the lontong, I regretted my request because this one piece of lontong was soft and went so well with all the dishes, making me wish I had more. the chilli that came with it was so sweet and spicy!!! even though the afternoon sun was shining down on me, all I wanted to do was to devour the chilli. am definitely going to visit one of their stalls soon!!!!
