How Malay Food Originated?
Located between Malaysia and Indonesia, Singaporean Malay food draws inspiration from the food of the neighbouring Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and the Riau Islands.
Though Malay dishes have imprints of regional influence, it is usually altered to cater to local tastes, context and thus are distinct from their counterparts in neighboring countries.
Located between Malaysia and Indonesia, Singaporean Malay food draws inspiration from the food of the neighbouring Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and the Riau Islands.
Though Malay dishes have imprints of regional influence, it is usually altered to cater to local tastes, context and thus are distinct from their counterparts in neighboring countries.
Therefore, Singaporean Malay food has a distinct flavor despite bearing traces, imprints of regional influence, particularly from Minangkabau and Javanese food.
Roti Prata is a Malay local favorite. Roti prata is a fried flatbread that is cooked over a flat grilling pan.
It is prepared by flipping the dough into a large thin layer before folding the outside edges inwards.
Dendeng is an intricately carved dried meat. Dendeng is preserved with a mixture of sugar and spices and dried via frying. It distinctly shows Minangkabau-influences.
Other Malay dishes in Singapore, include assam pedas, bakso, curry puff, gulai daun ubi, Katong laksa, ketupat, lemak siput, mee siam, mee goreng, naan, nasi biryani, nasi goreng, nasi padang, rojak bandung, roti john, sambal stingray, satay, satay bee hoon, soto and sup tulang.
NASI LEMAK
A signature Malay dish, nasi lemak is a Singaporean staple. A dish of coconut flavoured rice, with boiled egg, fried peanuts, anchovies and a spicy shrimp-based sauce on the side, you will find this dish sold at upscale restaurants for a steep price and even as hawkers sell it for as low as $2.50. It is a local favourite.
Satay
A local delight, satay is essentially chunks/portions of meat on skewers marinated overnight before being barbecued over a charcoal fire and served. The marinade used consists of lemongrass, turmeric, coriander, shallots, garlic and chilli, as well as some honey to season the meat.
ASSAM LAKSA
A delectable dish of thick, juicy glass noodles drenched in a sour and spicy broth made by stewing mackerel flakes, tamarind juice, chilli, mint leaves, lemongrass, onions and pineapples, Assam laksa certainly stands out, even if you do not like spicy food.
Although it is rather spicy, the tender flavours of the translucent broth along with the thick, bouncy noodles (including the usual sweet shrimp paste, added to the soup), is a hearty, delectable dish.
ROTI JALA
A blend of noodles and pastry, roti Jala is a yellow net-like crepe, made from rice flour, with an almost gelatine consistency. It resembles lace, is often served as an alternative to rice, and is highly sought after during festive seasons.
Warmed on a steaming griddle, the square-shaped crepe comes with a range of side servings, from a customary thick and savoury chicken curry with potatoes, or chicken and beef rendang, or spicy Indian-style dry mutton squares, or even chicken kurma (slightly spicy yoghurt-based curry).
MEE REBUS
Alternatively named “mee jawa”, this dish of thick yellow noodles drenched in thick, sweet and slightly spicy beef stock gravy is local delight. While not strongly flavoured, the translucent brown gravy blends flavours of all ingredients, including slices of tofu, sweet potatoes, bean sprouts, half of a boiled egg, fried onions, chilli slices, and roasted peanuts.
NASI KERABU
While the blue-tinged rice surprises, this colouring does not detract from taste. To derive its distinct blue tinge, the rice is mixed together with blue pea flour, while lemongrass, kaffir leaves and salt gives it its distinct taste.
Including dishes of mackerel flakes and grated coconut, turmeric-battered fried fish or beef, coconut sauce, salted egg, and prawn crackers, it is a yummy, delectable local delight.
NASI GORENG KAMPUNG
Nasi goreng kampung is a Malay delight; a fried rice dish with the usual eggs mixed with rice, including vegetables such as water spinach, diced long beans and onions, with crunchy fried anchovies, delicious chunks of chicken and shallots.
OTAK OTAK
Otak is a type of fish cake made of steamed seafood mousse within a rectangular-shaped covering of woven banana leaves, otak otak is an important part of Malay culture.
Comprising Spanish mackerel fish fillets and kaduk leaves, mixed together with spices such as lemongrass, galangal and turmeric, the steamed Otak has an almost jelly like, smooth rubbery texture.
NASI PADANG
Originating from Kelantan, Nasi Padang basically consists of white rice, with your selection of meat and vegetable side dishes.
Usually served buffet-style, you will be presented with a plate of white rice and then are free to make your selection of side dishes, which includes beef rendang, mutton rendang, curry chicken, curry squid and fried fish.
Finish off by topping the rice with various curries, which results in an unbelievably delicious meal.

| Review | “Order literally everything from the menu to try. Overall review is that the rice is not as fragrance as expected. But the rest (e.g chicken and chilli) were great.
What’s worth ordering? Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah. Chicken was well marinated and accompanied well with their chilli (very good), ikan bili (very crispy and unlike the others, not hard – very good) and acah (very good). The chicken whole leg may looks dry from the outside but juicy in the inside. Why 4 stars and not 5? Personnal, I felt that they can improve their coconut rice recipe. And also, we ordered their sambal cuttlefish. It was quite watery and the taste was bland. The price was reasonable for 3 pax. We ordered 2 full leg nasi lemak, a bowl of rendang and a bowl of sambal cuttlefish at a total cost of 21 dollars.” –Wayne Toh Bun Chin |
