The Rice Table Indonesian Restaurant – Good Things Come in Small Portions

Rating:

By Veron Ang

We were at The Rice Table Indonesian Restaurant recently and really loved the food! I like their unique concept where they serve all twenty different dishes in small portions once we are seated. This way, we get to sample each and every single dish at the beginning, before ordering the ones that suit our taste buds more.

Lunch buffet: S$17.88
Dinner buffet: S$28.49
Buffet rating:

Most of the dishes were spicy. Other than the kangkong belachan, the other vegetable dishes like the eggplant and vegetable stew did not appeal to me. All chicken dishes were great though. I especially liked the chicken satay (sate ayam).

Sweet and sour fried fish (ikan goreng).

Grilled chicken (ayam panggang)! Yum yum.

The next time I return to the Rice Table, I would probably go for the lunch buffet instead. It is much cheaper than the dinner buffet. The only difference is that it has six dishes less, and I wouldn’t mind missing those.

Hi Veron since i saw quite a few entry on Indonesian food… I was surprised you didn’t have an entry on Tambuah Mas at Paragon.
Their Tahu telur is the best, you can actually eat the tahu filling in it and with the all times favorite sweet sauce.
Their curry fish head, oxtail soup, satay and avocado juice are also well recommended.
If you have any chance and feel like eating something home cooked and delicious… maybe you should go try tambuah mas with their newly renovated outlet at paragon.
cheers! :)

  Thanks for the tip! I have in fact heard a lot about Tambuah Mas but am hesitant to try it because it seems very commercialised (especially when it’s in an upmarket place like Paragon). With your recommendation I am more assured that the food is actually good! Will try it out soon. As you have rightly observed, I love Indonesian cuisine!

  Hi Lina,
  You raised an interesting question. This was one of the few places that my Muslim ex-colleagues and I would have dinner in the past (as late as 2008) so I always assumed that the restaurant is Halal certified. But on checking the website today, they state that they aren’t Halal certified, although they use only Halal certified products. I’m removing the Halal tag for now. Thanks.

  I haven’t seen anything on their website that indicates otherwise. But just to safe, it would be a good idea to call them up and verify.
