“Essentially we have to keep the flavours of Nasi Ambeng as authentic as it is… for instance, you can’t simply served Nasi Lemak and not have the coconut milk in the rice, not have the sambal, not have the ikan bilis then it’s not Nasi Lemak anymore. At the end of the day, we want to make sure that the dish is as close to people’s expectations as possible…”

♥ Love of Our Life: Nasi Ambeng ♥


By Claire

No doubt Singapore is a food paradise, it is difficult to find good and authentic Nasi Ambeng. Nasi Ambeng (pronounced 'um-bng') is a special rice dish. It is a traditional Javanese food which is very popular among the Malays. This dish is usually served during special occasions like Ramadan (Muslim fasting month), weddings, kenduri (Muslim thanksgiving) and anniversaries.
An authentic Nasi Ambeng should consist of seven different types of toppings.  The toppings are serunding (coconut floss), acar (cucumber pickle), sambal goreng, gareng asam, potato cutlet, beancurd and fermented soya bean as well as a choice of mutton, chicken or beef rendang. With more than seven delicious toppings stacked on a bed of rice in a mountainous display, it is truly a feast.
You may find that some restaurants do not serve complete dish of Nasi Ambeng. One of the possible reasons could be that toppings like beancurd and fermented soya bean cannot be kept for too long as the freshness of it would be compromised. Hence, some owners may choose to eliminate such toppings.
In our coverage, we bring you through the hunt for Nasi Ambeng.

♥ Getting The Story ♥


By Shafarina
It was 10 a.m. on Friday and we decided to meet at Geylang Serai Food Court to start our hunt for Nasi Ambeng. After walking around, we found a stall selling Nasi Ambeng. The food was nice, however, there was something lacking in the dishes. Based on our research on the Internet and a casual conversation with the elderly, the Nasi Ambeng that we had was not authentic.
After asking a few passers-by, we headed to Arab Street to search for the authentic Nasi Ambeng. We were told that there were a few restaurants selling the authentic Nasi Ambeng. Hence, we went into one of the restaurants that was located just beside the Sultan Mosque. Yet again, we could not find the one that we were looking for.
After asking around, we decided to go to GoldHill Centre hoping that we could accomplish the mission. Finally, we were satisfied by what we had! The restaurant that we found serves the authentic Nasi Ambeng. Furthermore, we were totally captivated by the ambience of the restaurant.

♥ The Past & Present ♥



By Atiqah
In the past, this dish was served on a huge round plate called “dulang”. A generous amount of rice is placed in the centre of a “dulang” or large platter which is lined with banana leaves. This serving is normally shared by a group of four to eight people. It is also normally eaten by hand and the standard practice is to sit around the platter on a mat. This is why Nasi Ambeng is also known as a communal dish or the “togetherness” rice. However, it is rare to see Nasi Ambeng being served on “dulang” in these days.
During the good old days, the leftovers were packed in “takir” which was made of banana leaves. But presently, leftovers are usually packed in plastic containers instead.
History has it that Nasi Ambeng was used by husbands to prove to their jealous wives that they were at a kenduri and not at any other place.
