"Despite having branched out to several locations, the unassuming outlet along Jalan Pisang—just across the road from Masjid Sultan Mosque—is where it all began. This Bib Gourmand casual eatery serves a nasi padang spread of over 40 Malay and Indonesian dishes daily, with many recipes passed down from the owner’s family and often prepared hours or even days in advance. Must-orders include Sundanese Grilled Chicken, Sambal Goreng, Lemak Siput, Ayam Bakar, and Bergedil, with a typical meal costing SG$10–20 per person." - Alethea Tan
"In a narrow street behind Masjid Sultan mosque is a simple Malaysian restaurant that’s always busy – and it’s easy to see why: the ingredients are fresh, the food is delicious and the prices are affordable. Around 70% of dishes are Malaysian and 30% Indonesian; it’s mostly self-service and the dishes to go for include Sundanese grilled chicken, beef rendang, lemak siput and tahu telur. The upstairs room is slightly more comfortable." - Michelin Inspector
"Established in the early 90s’, Hjh Maimunah is a short 5-minute walk from the iconic Sultan Mosque set in Kampong Glam. They may be known for their exceptional nasi padang but their tahu telor is right on the money – tofu is crisp and the sauce, delightfully piquant. Tahu goreng, known as the poor man's tahu telor, comes without the cylindrical crispy egg net." - Alethea Tan
"Hjh Maimunah (Jalan Pisang), is one of the 12 new Bib Gourmands honored in the 2019 guide." - Michelin Guide Digital-Singapore
"A nasi padang institution where desserts come in the form of an array of traditional Malay and Indonesian kueh—bite-sized desserts made from local and regional ingredients through age-old, often laborious techniques. The pastry team starts work at midnight, preparing these delicious bites fresh for the day ahead. Among the selection of about 30 types of kueh, there’s the ubiquitous green-and-white kueh salat, palm sugar-based Kole Kole, chewy, coconut-dusted Kaswi, and steamed banana Nagasari wrapped in banana leaf." - Rachel Tan
