Hjh Maimunah Restaurant & Catering Pte Ltd

Decent nasi padang. Can’t go wrong with HJH. Portions are getting smaller with time. Food is nice but sambal belacan could be spicier.

Ordering from the kiosk for takeaway was a waste of time. It’s better to queue. After 30min food not ready for collection. Had to go to the counter then only one of the staffs started to prepare and pack my food. Mdm Intan sarcastically said to her colleagues, “please prepare her food now. She waited for 3 hours”. After collecting the food, reached home to know vegetables given were incorrect (click picture of spinach given cabbage), paru belado was not given in one for my packed food and begedel was not given too.

A perfect place (for me)where you can sit and feast from breakfast > tea break > lunch > tea break > dinner. You won't be judged of what you choose to eat and makciks will merrily ask you to eat more. Sharing table is common during peaks and is like having meals with a family. Kueh, everything is awesome! Salat pulut hitam (salat black glutinous) - best balance with a hint of sweetness Talam ubi (tapioca / white coconut top) - rich salty coconut top with slightly sweet tapioca base Laksa that makes you sweat buckets but doesn't burn your mouth/throat. Not the same as katong laksa. Lunch Grilled Stingray (pari bakar) Jackfruit yellow curry (nangka masak lemak) Tea break Pengat pisang (banana porridge) Dinner Ayam bakar sundanese

The taste of the dishes was not as good as I have tasted previous visit. My dining was at Joo Chiat, the Jln Pisang branch was much better. I am a regular patron of this restaurant so to say what I said, it is regress. Unfortunately that was my experience recently.

Self order your meals in this muslim inspired buffet efficiently serving fresh proteins, rice and vegetables.Reasonably priced

The cashier counter lady has a very very very bad attitude. When it was my turn to make payment, I asked her politely if there is discount using grabpay. This cashier replied me said I don’t know. I asked her, how can cashier don’t know. She continued to rebuke me bu saying yes cashier don’t know and then she asked me to stand aside to check out if grab has discount on my own. First it is attitude. Second is holding back information when I asked if there is grab pay discount and customer has to find the information. Fyi, i managed to check for a 20% discount on grab pay before making payment and the cashier knows how to process the payment on my grabpay. This tells alot about the holding back of information when a customer asked. I grew up in Joo Chiat since young and ate at this restaurant many times, this is the first time I was completely disappointed by this horrible customer service experience.

This restaurant is really popular as long queues can be seen forming up anytime of the day. However my experience was not a pleasant one. I took away 4 packets of Nasi Padang. When i reach home to eat my food, to my surprise, the packet felt really light. The rice was just too little for an adult & when i look at my receipt, "Chicken Wing" was reflected on it & clearly i did not order any chicken wing. This one packet cost me close to $10. Not sure if it was intentional or a pure mistake.

Absolutely love the nasi padang here! The beef rendang, kalio chicken and jackfruit curry were out of this world! The sambal is amazing with the food. The food is best eaten here as compared to their outlets at food court which were already really good! Would definitely come back here again!

Once you find this Bib gourmand spot, you'll likely see a line. Get someone going with you put an item on their table upstairs or downstairs to 'reserve' your seat. Once inside, you'll see a smorgasbord of halal Malay and Indonesian food, with all kinds of curry. Just pick and point - Everything is so tasty and it's all very affordable! They have servers who can help bring your tray full of food to your table, so remember your table's number!

When I was a child I dreamt of such food: such feasts. There was no religion for me back then. There were no local politics. Only Food. Only tasty, amazing food. Now I find such innocence in my world another time: - Where Food reigns, yet again, supreme. How can I not embrace and cheer, the dozens of spectacular local dishes that come out of this kitchen.

Hjh Maimunah Restaurant Joo Chiat Location... even you are like across town where we live, my mother and I will always go here after we had our fair share of grocery shopping at Geylang Serai Market. Most of the time, my Mother purchased TO GO items, unless she has the mood to dine in at this location. I did not know this location exists until I came back last year. This is their 2nd Location. Their Original Location is still situated at Lorong Pisang. That Lorong Pisang location, is their 1st and it is located in the Kampong Glam district / neighborhood. One of our favorites are the Sambal Goreng Pengantin, which is indeed labor intensive to prepare this dish and NOT so many establishments in town do it right. This recent visit was on a Tuesday afternoon, with fellow Yelper, Heather T - who never had Sedut Siput Lemak, so to Hjh Maimunah Restaurant - Joo Chiat Location we went. Even after Lunch hours, this establishment always have LONG Lines, be it patrons, having their meals in the establishments or purchase to go items for their families or their Dinner at work. Another time consuming, to cook and to eat are these tiny siput sedut in Bahasa Melayu. The Scientific name for this sea snails is Cerithidea Obtusa. Another dish, how my late Grandma and my late Aunt made, whenever they are able to purchase LIVE Sea Snails from the Geylang Serai Wet Market. All in all, we are willing to commute to this location to have a feast or purchase TO GO items. The pricing can adds up after each meal. Oh well. As long as my Mother or my friends are happy. I am happy.

Five Stars for Hajah Maimunah Restaurant! This restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes from fresh fish, to fish roe, to stewed meats to curry snails, to chicken curry. Get it all! One of my hotel concierge staff told me about this restaurant. He swore that they have the best chicken curry in town. They did! You walk into the place and you'll find a display cabinet with about 35+ different types of dishes. You pick and choose what you want and you're off to the cashier - like a cafeteria style dining. There is a lot of seating downstairs and upstairs. Everyone seemed to be super friendly and many families came here to enjoy a meal. Fish Roe - my first dish was a fish roe steamed / boiled in some kind of red sauce. It was fun to eat and tasty. Chicken Curry - one of the better dishes here. Two generous portions of chicken cooked in a coconut milk yellow curry sauce. Yum! Intestine Stew - Not sure what I was eating, but it was delicious. It was (beef?) heart, liver, intestines, kidney pieces all thrown together in a tomato based stew. Snails with yellow coconut curry - best thing of the day! The snails were about 40 to an order. The tops were cut off so you sucked the snails right out of the shell. Tasted like sweet yellow curry sauce. Delicious! I really enjoyed my experience here. I'll be back during my next visit to Singapore!

When in Singapore this is definite must go to place! I've been several times and never disappointed in these Indonesian flavorful dishes! Spicy which I love with a blend of other exotic flavors! This time around I indulged in Stingray, Tempe, Rendang Beef and Tripe. If you have a "worldly palate" you will enjoy!

It's been featured on Anthony Bourdain's TV show, so you can be sure this restaurant has the goods to deliver. Hajah Maimunah Restaurant offers an unbelievable selection of authentic Malay fare at affordable prices (if you share). Prices can be steep if you dine alone. This branch spans two floors, but is always crowded during lunch hours. I've only been here with family, once to celebrate a birthday and other times for gatherings. You can't dine in often if you're health conscious because the food served is rich and sinful. We love the tender beef rendang - the dish is so full of lemak. Plenty of other dishes include insane amounts of coconut milk. I'm not a fan of seafood, but my family members are crazy over their siput sedot ( small sea snails in rich coconut curry gravy ). And don't forget to order that tahu telor. If you haven't stuffed yourself silly, then head to the dessert corner to grab deep-fried snacks or Malay kueh. I wouldn't encourage you too do so, since it's not much different from any hawker stall. We usually don't do get desserts, the mains are enough for us!

The food is delicious, a lot of variety and cheap too. Their service is top notch which is rare here. I was staying at the nearby hotel and ended up eating there 2 times in a row. I chose at least 4 different dishes each time and I'm yet to eat same dish. Each of them is delicious. The website said the restaurant open at 11am but I don't think it's accurate. I arrived at 10:50am and there's a line and the place is almost full. Come early and enjoy the variety of food.

A great place to satisfy nasi padan cravings, the food here is above average and service is good. One trick is to know what dishes to order and the best way is to ask for recommendations from the wait staff. Most of them have been working there for some time and will be able to advise you accordingly. A great place to dine with friends or family, the standard of the food has been fairly consistent over the years. A pity that it looks a little messy and at times, filthy, with spills not cleared instantly. Price wise, it's really affordable. If you are health-conscious sort, then this place is not for you. There's plenty of deep-fried food and full of coconut cream and chilli to scare you away.

Always long queue! Always here for the siput! Many variety of dishes to choose from! They also have mee soup, laksa etc. Extremely crowded on weekends. Worth coming by though for nasi padang! Too much too choose from!

Just tried this restaurant for the first time. Came for dinner and order an individual portion; Curry fish, tofu with Long beans and lots of sambal Chilli. My verdict. Thumbs up for the authentic taste, big portion and Chilli. Cost S$5.60. Worth it for the whole slice of batang(king mackerel), mind you, not half a slice. Lots of yummy gravy if you request. Will be returning very soon!
