Enak Nasi Ambeng (2 August 2017)
Enak (GPS: 1.32045, 103.93555) is a hawket stall at the Blk 16, Bedok South Food Centre. It is operated by a Peranakan Singaporean, Mr Desmond Theo, who runs the stall with his family.
Desmond's stall specialises in nasi ambeng, a Javanese-style set meal comprising white rice surrounded by a variety of dishes that may include curry chicken (or meat), vegetable salad, tempeh, spicy brinjal, pickled vegetables, beansprouts, sambal and salted duck egg. Other items may include begedil and sambal cuttlefish. All the items are arrayed on a large tray, or dulang, overlaid with banana leaves.
The single dulang is S$6.50. For 2 persons, it is S$17, and four 4 persons, S$34. I pointed to Desmond that his single dulang is cheaper than the shared dulang for 2 and 4 persons. He told me that for the shared dulang, there are additional dishes like sotong, salted egg and rendang. For the single dulang, the diner chooses either chicken or rendang, without sotong and salted egg. The dish for 2 and 4 persons are similar.
I visited Enak on 2 August, 2017, just before my flight back to Penang. By the time my friend KF Seetoh brought me to this stall, I have already had my lunch. Nevertheless, Desmond was so kind to pack some for me to take home. Unfortunately, it did not survive the flight, as the rice has soured by the time I opened the pack. Nevertheless, I promised myself that I will return one day, with my wife, to enjoy Desmond's nasi ambeng.
