About Sabar Menanti
Located in the nasi padang belt of the famous Kandahar Street in Kampong Java, Sabar Menanti is a well-loved Malay restaurant serving authentic Minangkabau dishes. The restaurant is aptly named, for in English, Sabar Menanti means wait patiently, which one has to do, as the queue to get to the food in this restaurant is usually long. Started over 47 years ago, the running of the restaurant has passed on from the original owner from Sumatra, Haji Marlian, to his children. Branches of the restaurant that dish out Padang food have also sprung up around Kandahar Street.

Excellent traditional style nasi padang, including dishes that aren't as widely available like jackfruit (nangka) curry. The beef rendang was really good - I feared it would be a little tough but it was fairly tender while still having bite, and the sauce was aromatic and had punch! Most dishes were good - sambal goreng was outstanding - though I think the tauhu telur would have been better hot, so probably order that if a fresh batch is available. Make sure to wash everything down with some teh tarik or teh halia, as well as some desserts from the station up front. Highly recommended!
