When in Rome, do what the romans do, and if your in a new place, best to go on with it or in this case , eat like a local do. Nasi padang is basically rice with just loads and loads of dish, it's like a feast, alot of dishes to sample from. And damn it's good stuff, they sure know how to cook.
I was a bit lucky as this restaurant was located opposite the hotel I was staying in. A quick brunch before heading back to the jetty.
Top left is the fried chicken with spices, good stuff. Top right grilled crispy beef, crunchy and nice. Bottom left is the beef tendon in coconut gravy, i just love tendons. And the last dish was the beef rendang.
Some fish in sambal, i find it so so, on the left was chicken cooked in the coconut gravy again same goes with the squid, honestly i find the coconut gravy addictive as its thick and spicy.
Bottom left was the egg omelette, puffy and crispy. Top left is some vege, and the killer dish was the green color one, sambal hijau(green chilli), I just adore it to bits, mix it up with the warm rice, heaven on earth.

Xiang Xiang @ Batam, Indonesia.
Was a quick getaway one night in batam, just purely good company and food. This is a local seafood restaurant located in the suburbs.
Some otah for starters, not bad.
Gong gong(sea snails) this is good, haven't had this in a while
Oyster omelette (orh luak) quite good as well, order from another stall in front.
The killer dish was the crabs, somehow the coating of the gravy is just addictive.
Petai(smelly beans) with slices of fish grilled in their local sambal sauce. Excellent stuff.
I'm such a sucker for petais, another version with sambal ikan bilis(spicy anchovies). There was a few more dishes i didn't have time to take pics as everybody was devouring the food( or shall i say my hands were messy with all the food:/). The fried chicken onion was equally good, it seems to be their specialty.
Good stuff.
