The backstory
The lady owner is Sara, who set up Istimewa Kitchen with her fiancé, Kenneth.
As both of them wanted to venture into the F&B industry, they started up the nasi padang stall three years ago in their current location, Bedok Industrial Park E.
Since then, they've gone on to enjoy a small but loyal following, despite being out of the way from regular Bedok food haunts.
Many have raved about the authentic, humble taste, and affordable price.
