Found SW (Singapore Warteg)

Finally, after one and half year, I finally found a food centre that sell food like "Warteg".

For those who doesn't know what is "Warteg", "Warteg" is like a cheap food place, that sell a very common Indonesian food, like soup, oyster, "tempe", bean curd. The price also very cheap.

"Warteg" also very popular to reach most people that have tight budget in Indonesia.

You'll easily find these kind of place in Indonesia.. Some of it will suffix with some other fancy name like, "Bahari" or "Sejahtera" or sometimes "Suka Maju".

So you'll find the name quite unique and uneasy to say :D
here are some examples:
"Warteg Bahari"
"Warteg Sejahtera"
"Warteg Suka Maju"

So, is it has the same name in Singapore?
Nope.. definitely no...

Actually its transform from a "Padang" restaurant.
They called their restaurant with "Sambel Balado" Food.

Well the name making me come to them to check what kind of food that they sell.
Astonished....
Thats my reaction...
I saw oyster.. "Sambal Hati", and some other "Warteg" food inside..

wow..
ok.. they can able to make the same food, but how about the taste?
Is it the same?

Too bad... although it has the same color, same form.. same look and feel.. but it didn't taste the same..

My tounge will not lie to me..
The taste was ok.. even though not exactly the same like real "warteg" food.

at least its better than have to go to Jakarta to eat "warteg" food.

hehehe

Ok, now the location.

Toa Payoh Mall,
near Toa Payoh MRT

for more detail... feel free to ask me directly ^^
