Che' Rose Nasi Padang - 128 Lor 1 Toa Payoh

Very nice Nasi Padang famous for their beef rendang. The beef Rendang is not bad but I had better elsewhere. Each individual dish was very very well made. In fact this is a stall that you can eat daily without getting bored of the dishes.Very 'home-cooked' feel. Highly recommended. Must try the beef rendang and see if it's as claimed haha.

One of very few really good nasi padang stalls in ToaPayoh/Bishan/AMK area. Unfortunately, the beef rendang was not available (cook was on MC or smthng) so I had to settle for the chix rendang. It was tasty, the pachri nenas & sayur lodeh was also good, the sotong dish was good too. I wish they had sambal belacan but they only had sambal blado left (arnd 2pm) ?. By the time I wanted to take fotos, there was nothing left on my plate ???. side note: I've cooked beef rendang a few times before & the spices my wife prepared made it ohh-so-delicious!... BUT... I was the one who had to c-o-n-t-i-n-u-o-u-s-l-y stir and turn the beef chunks in the wok for THREE WHOLE HOURS! For those who didn't know, this is why beef rendang costs 2-3x more than chix rendang (chix rendang requires about one hour only to stir and turn). ?

Many have commented their prices are above the norm, why not they just display their prices openly, so patron is able to know what they are expected to pay instead of getting surprises after they calculated the price. I have noticed having the same dishes on two visits but price are calculated differently... alamak ?

This is our family must have for big or small occasion for past 40yrs. Birthdays, public holidays, festive season - u name it. If anyone is on annual leave on particular day, "anyone" wil volunteer to go pack this for everyone. Sorely missed when out if Sg. This is how good they are. Consistently flavourful. Taste like home, warms our hearts.

If you've grown up in Toa Payoh, you would have eaten or at least known this Nasi Padang. Hailed from 1968, they had been here since forever and moved around Toa Payoh Lorong 1 a few times. Saying I had grown up with this stall is no kidding, and I probably have their Nasi Padang at least once a week back then. Some friends have always said, Nasi Padang stalls love to overcharge Chinese customers, unlike what an out of touch MP said some years ago, $2.50 gets you Nasi Padang with Drumstick. Some would say because Chinese are rich, we charge you more. Others with a more logical approach, they are selling Halal food. While Chinese can feed on non Halal, we are depriving other Muslims of their food when they sold us their servings. In any case, I leave it to your judgement, I did had experiences when the same Malay guy ordered the exact same thing in front of me, and i did got charged at least $2 more compared to his plate of Nasi Padang at Che Rose. But I don't take it against them. There's only so many pieces of their delicious Fried Chicken and they do get sold out usually mid lunch peak. In any case, I am back here today at 1230pm, all I love are in stock (except drumsticks) and I am game to eat. The short queue in front of me are all Chinese diners. Figures. My order $11. All my favourites since I was a kid. Fried chicken, Beef Rendang, Bergedil, fried egg, mixed cabbage on rice topped with their curry chicken sauce and sambal. Some might think $11 for this is horrendous. I think its fair. I knew their Beef and Chicken are delivered daily. How I knew? Cos I used to know a relative whom delivered their beef fresh daily from Tekka Market. He had since retired but vendors he knew took over. Fresh supplies daily is not cheap in a coffeeshop stall quantity. That's quality food. And for the same quality if you eat the same in a restaurant, trust me you will be paying way more than $11. Tender and flavourful rendang, crispy and juicy fried chicken, freshness you can taste. Their Nasi Padang and sambal is of a very local Malay style. A familiar taste we grow up with. Now the pair of sisters took over from Auntie Rose. Still you can see Auntie Rose seating at the stall with a watchful eye. Quality and flavour totally the same from when I first had them 4 decades ago. I will definitely come back for more.

Didn't have high expectations as I hadn't heard of it before. Ordered as takeaway and the flavours and quality blew me away! You can tell it's cooked from the heart. One of my top 2 nasi padang.

Truly homely cooked food with the diversity in selection. Never fails to perk up my weekends with the different combination of dishes to try out here. It has many must try dishes which can only be experienced with multiple visits

Heard many reviews about this nasi Padang stall in blk 128 Toa Payoah lor 1, happened to be nearby and decided to give it a try. There wasnt any queue when i was there. There were only 2 pax infront of me. Selection of dishes was quite limited actually but went ahead to order. Ordered the rendang, stir fried spinach and a slices of omelette. Bill came up to SGD$7.50. Have to say that it was quite expensive. Food wise, rendang wasnt too bad. Have to say, portion of the rendang was quite alot. The spinach and omelette was normal. But have to say their lemak chili padi gravy was very different from others.
