Pondok Makan Indonesia – Absolutely Delicious Michelin Recommended Malay Food!
January 12, 2020
Pondok Makan Indonesia is the only Malay stall to be recommended by the Michelin Guide, so it has to be one of the best stalls selling Malay cuisine in Singapore. Their accolades are certainly not just for show.
I started with the mee rebus, which is one of the lesser known dishes here. On the first bite, I was already impressed. The gravy had the perfect consistency, with the right amount of sweetness and nuttiness that one would expect from a good mee rebus. It is definitely one of the better mee rebus I’ve had in a while.
Next up was the satay. This was the dish that Michelin recommended. We ordered a few sticks of chicken, beef, and mutton each. They were all the same price($0.60). You have to order a minimum of 10 sticks. However, I suggest getting more than that, especially if you are sharing. Of all the three meats, the mutton really blew me away. With crispy charred edges, the juicy and tender meat hit all the right spots. As the cherry on top, the mutton hardly had any gamey smell or taste! The marination took care of that. The beef satay was a little tough, so I preferred the chicken and the mutton.
Now, for one of the most popular dishes, Tahu Goreng ($3). This was my favourite out of everything, and all the food has been really good so far. The sweet tooth in me was very pleased with the sweet, nutty kecap, which just seemed so naturally compatible with the slightly fried tofu. The peanuts in the sauce still had a good crunch to them. I can see why this is one of their most popular dishes.
They offer only a few dishes on their menu, but each one has been perfected to the T. They definitely deserve their spot in the Michelin guide.
