Review Pu3 Restaurant - Singapore

Over in the Jalan Sultan area and just a short distance from the Sultan Mosque is the well-known Nasi Padang Restaurant, Hjh Maimunah Restaurant and Catering. This restaurant is also a multi year winner of the Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore Award. Having heard great things from a friend about this restaurant, a decision was made to visit on a Saturday morning to sample the food offerings. On arrival, one should first find a seat at the ground floor or second floor. After that one joins the queue and it took a while before one finally entered the restaurant to order one's dishes. Both Dine In and Takeaway uses the same queue, so please don't think of jumping ahead if getting takeaway only. The food are all displayed on shelves behind a hygiene partition. The prices for the food options are on the display panel on the wall behind the food shelves. One first informs the staff if they are dining in (eating here) or taking away (Dabao/Bungkus/Packet). Then one points to the items one wants and the staff will place the food onto the plate or into the takeaway box. The staff will then hand over one's order where one then proceeded to make payment. If one is in need of assistance, a staff will help to carry the food to one's table. Found the food mostly acceptable, not fantastic but not bad either. The rice was a little too dry and didn't absorb the sauces or gravy from the food well as most of the food had little to no gravy. The best food option is the Tahu Telor with its nicely Fried egg with Tofu and the sauce was really yummy with a good mix of savoury and sweet. This paired really well with the rice as the rice helped to balance out the sauce flavour. Ordered some desserts but the Rainbow Kueh Lapis had layers that crumbled instead of being stretchy and not easily peeled, while the Pandan Kueh Salat had a really yummy pandan custard but the glutinous rice still had some uncooked grains within. The meal was overall acceptable and it is great to see a Nasi Padang stall get on the Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore Award. However, it is good for a visit to try but unlikely for a return visit General Verdict: A good Nasi Padang restaurant with yummy ingredients that is a little pricier than most but avoid the dessert items Opening Hours: Daily 7:30am-7:30pm (Closed on Sundays) Queue Situation: About 15 mins to 30 mins Price: SG$6 upwards Payment Mode: Cash and Visa/Mastercard/AMEX Credit Cards (Physical and Paywave) Is this worth a try? Probably Is it worth making a trip just to try it? Only if you are in the vicinity Is this worthy of the Michelin Bib Gourmand Singapore Award? Unsure Items Ordered: 1) Item: Nasi Padang (Mixed Rice) - Rice with Mixed Vegetables and Ingredients Description: The different ingredients were acceptable without being too savoury. The rice was a little dry as the ingredients didn't have much sauce. The chilli was spicy and yummy at the same time Verdict: Good, Can Order Price: SG$6.80 (Varies according to food selection) 2) Item: Tahu Telor Jakarta - Fried tofu with egg, Jakarta style Description: Great tasting tofu and Egg dish that had a savoury and yummy sauce, which may need some rice to balance the flavour as some may find the sauce a little string Verdict: Very Good, Must Order Price: SG$7 3) Item: Rainbow Kueh Lapis - Rainbow coloured layered cake Description: The Rainbow Kueh Lapis didn't have much flavour and the layers were too stiff, crumbling while being separated Verdict: Rainbow Kueh Lapis - Fail, Don't Waste Time Price: SG$0.90 4) Item: Pandan Kueh Salat - Pandan Custard on Glutinous Rice Cake Description: The Pandan Kueh Salat had a really yummy custard top but the Glutinous Rice was not cooked thoroughly resulting in some hard grains in the rice layer Verdict: Pandan Kueh Salat - Acceptable, Order only if you want to try Price: SG$0.90

My first visit @ this Michelin star Hjn Maimunah Restaurant. Queue was quite long, waiting in the queue to make your order was about an hour. Was it worth the long queue? Well, some of the dishes was pretty good, some was just so so. The fish was not fresh with fishy smell. I like the Beef Randang the most. They have a big dinning area on second floor so it doesn't feel cramp, Overall experience was good but didn't really feel the Michelin love.

Had good delivery a few days ago and it was good and fresh. The chicken although a whole leg did not have a much meat as I expected. The bakso beef broth was rich and tasty. The spinach was cooked just right, not soggy or slimy. The eggplant's sambal was delicious and not too spicy. Ondeh was so so only, the gula melaka filling could have been more generous. Overall, a decent and satisfying meal.

Fail safe place to get your nasi padang fix. Huge variety of dishes, all well made yums, no crazy / exhorbitant prices - I think that’s the recipe for their ever-long queues!

I can't say much for the price because my friends treated me to this, but when I tasted the dishes, I was transported back in time to the kinds of food I had growing up. It's legit grandma's cooking. I think if my nenek was still alive, she would love this place. That's very high praise, considering she was and amazing cook and picky eater. Thoroughly satisfied and happy with my lunch here, so thank you very much. I'm gonna be dreaming of your food a lot now that I'm back in the US. T_T

Ordered via Oddle. Easy to navigate, good and easy way to order Nasi Ambeng and Nasi Padang to enjoy in comfort of home. Everything was well packed. Food tasted very good and professionally done. Will definitely order again. The paru was very tender and so was the beef rendang (dry style). Ayam lemak was packed separately.

Always a great experience dining at Hjh Maimunah Restaurant! The food is very flavourful. Great price too :)

Simple the best Nasi Padang in Singapore and some say Batam. My favorite Malay restaurant in town and a must visit when I am back. Must tried the tahu telur, sambal fish and rendang

Good food, everyone is happy.... got it delivered and the ambeng still warm.... huge portion.... overall.... awesome...

Lemak ayam was superb...Others Not too bad but I agree your serving staff needs to be friendlier but overall Alhamdulilah....InnSyaaAllah will visit again....All the best!

I had my Ambeng Solo yesterday & it doesn’t disappoint me. The spread was superb & the taste extremely scrumptious. I loved the tender of the beef rendang & the urap was freshly served. Just to comment downside on the serunding was a bit too little compared to previous visit. Overall, it makes my lunch feel great 👍 Thanks Pu3 restaurant. Keep it up your gd work !!! U deserved a 5 star rating from me !!

Went with friends of 25pax. The serving of food was just right for 4pax and all dishes was super good. Cozy place. Great service. We were noisy but the server was all smile serving us. We all left the restaurant with smile on our face and full stomach. Will definitely come back for more. Thanku so much for the service.

Absolutely love their nasi ambeng! Authentic & the proportion is huge for 2. The serunding is top notch, paru goreng was just right & tender & the urap was fresh & crunchy. Totally yummy...we were so full yet we can't stop. Highly recommended & will come back for more �����

Food was delicious.. portion was small though.. toilet was horrible.. wash basin no soap. Will come back for the food next time. Insyaallah.

The dishes were authentically prepared and rich in flavour. Portions were big. Ambiance is a little humble, as intended, to be relax and casual. Our must-go Restaurant when ever we are in Spore. Two thumbs up.

We were served with huge portions of excellent Malay food. The rendang was especially delicious with tender and large parts of beef cuts.

Not to my expectation. Rendang hard taste less. I have tried better than this. Your service staff also not so friendly. Be better next time. Thanks.

Food wasnt as gd as before.. Customer service horrible.. Had to keep repeating my orders.. Like serious..? Im the only one in the queue.. Can you pay attention for tat 5min? And please stop clearing my plates one by one while im still eating.. Are you trying to chase me out asap??

Always a pleasure to dine there. Food are always good and service friendly always. Respect needs to be earned so it work both ways.

The Nasi ambeng was superb and I had a fulfilling lunch,the ingredient for the food is fresh and the rendang as well as the Ayam lemak use fresh coconut milk.The restaurant is really clean and in tip TOP condition.

The nasi ambeng is delicious. The food portion is quite big. Staff are friendly.👍😊
