In the past week, Nasi Padang has gained quite a bad reputation due to its unanticipated and exorbitant prices, especially when they are sold in town or air-conditioned food courts.

Nasi Ambeng stall in Yishun goes viral

But one Nasi Ambeng stall in Yishun has been getting the spotlight for better reasons.

A picture of Auntie Kalsom, a cook for De' Hassan Ambeng Hassan Cuisine, holding a huge tray of Nasi Ambeng was featured on Yishun Park Hawker Centre's Facebook page.

Garnered attention

After garnering more than 700 reactions and 2,000 shares, people were amazed by the generous serving of the Nasi Ambeng.

"You probably won't be able to finish a quarter of it."

"Look at the serving!!! So bigggg!!!"

And of course, many people wanted to try the dishes themselves.

"Wantttttt"

"We definitely need to give this a try when we're in SG."

Similar to Nasi Padang

Nasi Ambeng is similar to Nasi Padang, except that the dishes are usually already picked out for you and is meant to be shared between two or more people.

The cost of the Nasi Ambeng here depends on the serving size.

This is what a huge serving that is ideally shared between four to five people (S$48) looks like.
