Nasi Padang

            Late lunch in the Batam View Beach Resort on Pulau Batam.

Nasi Padang is an Indonesian dish comprising of steamed white rice with various meat and vegetable dishes. There are too many dishes to count as the dishes offered are heavily dependent on the chef.

Padang food is the cuisine of the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra, named after the city of Padang, the capital city of West Sumatra. The cuisine is popular across Indonesia as well as the nearby Malayan Peninsula. 

Padang food is famous for its rich taste of succulent coconut milk and spicy chilli and many dishes are cooked in curry sauce with coconut milk, with heavy use of spices mixture.

I wouldn't say Nasi Padang is a dish. I would say it is a way of serving several dishes in one go. It provides a good way to have a taste of Indonesia in one single go I reckon. Take my order for example - I get curry chicken, sambal squid, sambal prawns, mixed vegetables, fried chicken and prawn crackers in one serving. It's like a fiesta of amuse-bouches on one plate...but with rice, so quintessential (if not the backbone) of Indonesian cuisine.
