When it comes to searching for the best restaurants that sell rendang, you’ll definitely come across Hjh Maimunah! Founded in the 1990s, the restaurant has since become a household name and a top choice for those seeking to indulge in some Kampung-styled cuisine. We especially love their beef rendang. Other than its spicy and well-flavoured beef, you’ll also enjoy the soft, fluffy rice that comes along with the dish. Psst, the beef rendang here is priced affordably below $10, so you won’t have to worry much if you’re cash-tight!

Address: 20 Joo Chiat Road, #01-02, S(427357)

2. Old Bibik’s Peranakan Kitchen

Hands up if you’re all for wallet-friendly food! At Old Bibik’s Peranakan Kitchen, you’ll never have to burn a hole in your wallet. Each rendang set meal, which is affordably priced around $15, comes with a fried egg, tangy nyonya achar and power-packed belacan chilli. Price aside, we love how their rempah sauce is blended daily and made using the freshest ingredients. On top of that, their beef is slow-cooked for hours to ensure that the meat is fork-tender and fully infused with the flavour of the rendang. Boy, we’re hungry already! 

Address: 328 Joo Chiat Road, #01-02, S(427585)
Opening Hours: Daily, 11.30am – 9.30pm

3. Rumah Makan Minang

Tucked in the heart of the Malay heritage district, lies Rumah Makan Minang, a multi-generational restaurant specialising in Minangkabau cuisine. But Rumah Makan Minang isn’t your average Indonesian restaurant. Having represented Singapore at an international food festival held abroad, we can count on Rumah Makan Minang to offer some drool-worthy beef rendang! Cooked over a slow charcoal fire, you’ll be served beef rendang consisting of tender meat and captivating flavours. Yummy!

4. Cumi Bali

Founded in the late 1980s, Cumi Bali has since been a household name. While it might come with a hefty price tag of over $20, we assure you that their rendang is worth every cent. After all, they’ve gotten their stamp of approval from the Michelin guide; being featured with a Bib Gourmand too! With a generous ten pieces of meat doused in a flavourful gravy, this best beef rendang delivers in both quality and quantity. Additionally, it uses over 25 spices and is cooked to perfection for over eight hours before serving. Do note that unlike other rendangs, no coconut milk is used so their rendang is more on the watery side.  

Address: 50 Tras Street, #01-01, S(078989)
Opening Hours: Daily, 11:30am – 2.30pm, 6 – 9:30pm

Ask any Singaporean and chances are, they would have heard of Violet Oon as a go-to place for halal Peranakan food! But what many don’t know is that it also offers some of the best rendang. In particular, their beef rendang wows with a melange of spices that is specially flavoured with kaffir and bay leaves. Doused in a creamy coconut cream sauce, you’ll surely be left wanting more! It is recommended that the rendang be tried with their Ayam Pong Tay which is seasoned with bean paste, cinnamon and cloves.

It’s an award-winning restaurant helmed by the renowned Chef Damian D’silva who’s also one of the judges on Masterchef Singapore. It features succulent beef cheeks that have been braised in a flavourful broth; one that contains 15 different spices and herbs! You’ll be asking for seconds faster than you can say “Sedap”!

Without a doubt, Sabar Menanti II is another top choice when it comes to the rendang. After all, it was founded more than 50 years ago by the late Haji Marlian Athar who hails from Sumatra – right where the best beef rendang originated from! In particular, their beef rendang packs a punch given its tender meat and savoury taste. The dish is also doused in gravy that is thick and rich. Sabar Menanti II also offers some yummy chicken rendang that promises to be equally mouth-watering!

Address: 719 North Bridge Road, S(198687)

8. Istimewa Kitchen

Believe it or not, the folks at Istimewa Kitchen require at least 25kg of boneless mutton meat for cooking daily – that’s a testament to how popular the stall is! With such a huge fan base, Istimewa Kitchen does put in effort to live up to its name as one of the best mutton rendang stalls. The lean mutton pieces are carefully braised for two hours to ensure that they melt in your mouth instantly. ​​And if that still doesn’t satisfy you, try eating it with their popular assam fish. Infused with tamarind sauce and red chilli, the fish has the perfect balance of tanginess and spiciness!

Address: 3014 Bedok Industrial Park E, S(489980)
Opening Hours:
Mon – Fri: 7am – 2.30pm
Sat: 9am – 3pm

9. Warong Nasi Pariaman

Having been around for the last seven decades, Warong Nasi Pariaman has definitely made its mark as one of the best beef rendang stalls. In fact, the owners predict they take in around 500kg of beef monthly – that’s how popular their beef rendang sells! Their secret? Using a charcoal stove to slow cook the meat. This is because the heat from the charcoal unites and adds flavour to the dish, producing a strong aroma that will leave you craving for more. If you still have qualms, you can put them to rest because even footballer Fandi Ahmad and former-President Halimah Yacob have visited the stall and given it rave reviews!

Address: 738 North Bridge Road, S(198706)
Opening Hours: Thurs – Tues, 7.30am – 3pm

10. Sinar Pagi

While Sinar Pagi is known for its scrumptious servings of nasi padang, their rendang is worth a shot too! If anything, its snaking long queues are proof of its popularity, but we assure you that it is worth the wait. In particular, we are in love with their chicken rendang that comes with intense spicy flavours. The tender barbecued chicken is dipped in a coconut curry sauce that is so finger-licking good. What’s more, the rendang is served alongside generous portions of tauhu goreng, braised brinjal and a plate of ruby-red sambal. 

Address: Geylang Serai Market, 1 Geylang Serai, #02-137, S(402001)
Opening Hours:
Mon: 8am – 4pm
Tues – Sun: 8am –
7pm

11. Maimon Nasi Padang

As its name suggests, Maimon Nasi Padang delights with its lavish servings of nasi padang. But as with most Indonesian stalls, it also offers some of the best beef rendang. The meat is soft and tender, making it easier to chew and more enjoyable. It helps that the accompanying rice is fragrant, and the gravy is rich. We suggest adding chilli sambal belacan for an extra spicy indulge!

Address: Serangoon Garden Market, 49A Serangoon Garden Way, #01-29, S(555945)
Opening Hours:
Wed – Thurs, Sat – Sun: 11am – 3.30pm, 5.30pm – 8pm
