The name's been around in Tras Street for a long long time. I was introduced to Mustajab in my second job, when I worked in Tanjong Pagar. It's simply a place for good Malay food. Many people flock there for the morning coffee and curry puff or mee rebus. Lunch time means Nasi Padang, the best in the area. With something like 20 vegetables, curries and meats, the eyes go mad at the selection, the tongue goes wild in anticipation, and tummies rumble for the gastronomic quench.Whenever I have Nasi Padang, I go for the simple stuff - no big meats and curries. I do sambal goreng, the fried ikan bilis, omelette, nenas achar, tofu taugeh chive mix, topped with a generous dash of lemak or assam pedas gravy and a daub of sambal tumis. Sedap. Perhaps a begedel too. Now that the saliva is running, here's the bad news. They are closing. Rent's too high. What a shame man.
But I suspect they'll be back somewhere else. Such good food cannot be denied consumption. It's one of Newton's laws.

Menurut saya nasi di dalam nasi itu sangat penting. Saya suka makan nasi dengan tingkat kelembutan dan kekencangan yang tepat, dan hidangan dengan sedikit lebih banyak variasi. Saya suka masakan padang terdekat
baca tulisan nasi padang, jadi mau makan masakan padang terdekat dari rumah!
