#myfoodies #goodfood #omnomnom #makanmakan #klfood #wheretoeat I love Nasi Padang as it has bold and spicy flavors, prepared with a blend of spices, such as turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, and galangal, giving the food a distinct aroma and flavor. Nasi Padang restaurants usually display all the dishes on a table, and customers only pay for what they eat, allowing customers to choose from a wide variety of dishes, including spicy curries, fried fish, grilled chicken, and beef rendang but to some people it could be a little unhygienic… I recently found the new PadangsOnWheels KL restaurant which looks like a cosy hipster kind of cafe serving Padang food with an impressive array of more than 60 dishes in a very hygienic way… just choose your favourite dishes and get it served in single portion for you to indulge… and believe me it was hard to decide!!!!! So many delicious and tempting dishes!!! PadangsOnWheels is famous for their daging dendeng, gulai tunjang. ayam kalio and so much. And you have to try their sambal ijo & sambal merah!!! PadangsOnWheels KL 2, Jalan Kamunting ChowKit, Kuala Lumpur Operating Hours: Tuesday - Sunday (7:30am-7pm) #padangsonwheels #padangsonwheelskl #padangsonwheelsdamansarauptown
