Nasi ambeng

Nasi Ambeng, also known as Nasi Ambang, is a cherished traditional Indonesian dish that delights both the eyes and the palate. This sumptuous meal features steamed white rice accompanied by an array of flavorsome sides, including chicken curry or soy-braised chicken, beef or chicken rendang, sambal goreng urap, bergedel (fried potato patties), and serunding (spiced coconut flakes).

Popular among the Javanese communities in Singapore and the Malaysian states of Johor and Selangor, Nasi Ambeng frequently includes fried noodles as an additional indulgence. What truly sets this dish apart is its communal presentation. Served on a large platter, it is meant to be shared by four to five people, making it an ideal choice for festive gatherings and special occasions like kenduri celebrations.
