About Sedap Rasa

Sedap Rasa serves no-frills Indonesian Padang cooking over rice straight from a bustling bain-marie counter. Kingsford regulars point through the glass to build plates piled with fork-tender beef rendang, jackfruit curry, and daun singkong. It is quick canteen sustenance with serious heat, running deep with rich coconut gravies and sharp sambal. For larger gatherings, the kitchen coordinates full prasmanan banquets loaded with yellow rice and stir-fried kangkong.

  • Bain-Marie Hot Bar: Point and pick from roughly 20 ready-to-serve Padang curries and braises over rice at the counter.
  • Prasmanan Banquets: Large group celebrations can book ahead for traditional multi-dish Indonesian feast spreads.

  • Uncompromising Authentic Spice

    Dishes stay faithful to traditional Indonesian heat and robust spice profiles without compromise.

    Everything was yummy but too spicy even for me who has high tolerance for chillies 😆 But the curry taste is so authentic.
