Rumah Sayang

Was searching around for a breakfast place as I was early for an appointment. Chanced upon Rumah Sayang. Full padang dishes are ready when I arrive at about 8.20am. But I ordered the mee siam. First look at the gravy made me wonder if it will be nice. It looks more like laksa gravy with consistency almost like mee rebus. But looks can be deceiving. I has a delicious and balanced sweet and sour taste to it. I like!

Just had a comforting feast at Rumah Sayang, Jem, and every bite felt like a warm hug! 💛 The nasi lemak is a perfect balance of fragrant coconut rice, crispy fried chicken, buttery omelette, crunchy peanuts, and spicy sambal—it’s hearty, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. The seafood fritters are golden, crispy, and deliciously simple, with just the right touch of chili to make them irresistible. And the mee siam with otah—wow! Tangy, slightly spicy, and perfectly balanced with tender noodles, fragrant sauce, and flavorful otah, it’s comforting, aromatic, and packed with flavor in every bite. Every dish at Rumah Sayang shows care and attention, delivering Malay comfort food that warms your heart as much as your stomach. Highly recommend for anyone craving soulful, flavorful meals! 🍴✨

I've tried this store multiple times for lunch, sampling various dishes from chicken and mutton to beef rendang. Today, I ordered the beef rendang, while my colleague opted for the chicken rendang. The set came with two side dishes, including options like fried egg, vegetables, fried tofu, or Begedil. *Customer Service* The auntie who served us was friendly and communicative, making requests easy. With minimal fuss, I'd rate their customer service (4/5). *Beef Rendang* The beef rendang stood out with its unique, aromatic curry flavor – a true reflection of the chef's skill. The strong, thick curry sauce blended perfectly with the beef, earning a (4/5). *Sides and Extras* The cauliflower was cooked to perfection – crunchy and not overcooked (4/5). The fried egg was omelette-style with a sprinkle of onion leaves for added flavor (3.5/5). *The Chilli Game-Changer* Don't forget their special chilli adding-on if you can handle the heat! It really elevates the whole dish. *Value for Money* The total bill came up to $18.90 for 1 chicken rendang, 1 beef rendang, and 2 coffees. Definitely worth coming back for!

Wow standard drop so much sadly…. Used to eat here whenever we come to JEM. Went around 2-3pm for a meal. Got sambal goreng, fried bittergourd and Ayam merah. Oh man, the chicken was so tough….and it was drumstick. It had a rubbery texture, the meat tasted old so I didn’t even touch it again. The sambal goreng only got overfried cardboardtofu no tempeh and no taste only colour apparently. Only the fried bittergourd was good…. Come here if you want to waste money on Nasi Padang 😂

I saw many reviews about their services, but fortunately for me that I didn't experience any of that. We ordered the Nasi Padang and selected our dishes. Overall taste was good and I particularly like the samba chilli which is extremely spicy 🔥🔥🔥.
