Restoran Simpang Tiga (M) Sdn Bhd

Restaurant Simpang Tiga (M) Sdn.Bhd was registration on February 2009 and stated on July 2009. The idea came from Honourable Ipoh Mayor Yg Bhg.Dato’ Hj Roshidi Bin Hj Hashim, he desire to create hormony and economic support between Malaysia and Indonesia with the expectation that the cooperation between those country will become more closer.

This restaurant was launched with much hype and fanfare, with the utmost homour of being officiated by the Sultan of Perak, back in August 2009. This restaurant may seem like a promising chain, with high possibility of branching out to other towns or even states in the near future.

Restaurant Simpang Tiga is famous chain of nasi padang restaurant originating from Indonesia, with five branches operating over in our neighboring country. Nasi Padang resembles our very own Malay rice with dishes or Nasi Berlauk, albeit with a little tweaks here and there. The Nasi Padang moniker actually pays tribute to the origin of food, whereby padang is in fact a city in West Sumatra of Indonesia.

Nasi Padang is the epitome of Minangkabau cuisine, but most of the dishes have already been incorporated into the array of Malay dishes commonly found in rice stalls all over Malaysia. The spread of dishes at Simpang Tiga was mind-boggling to an extent, with not less than 20 dishes being offered on the afternoon we patronized the outlet.

The huge space occupied by the restaurant (at least 4 shoplots in Greentown Square of Ipoh – a new business centre in the heart of the city) allows a large seating capacity, perfect for functions, or dinners to be held at the premise. The design of the restaurant exudes a traditional, rustic charm, with two main seating areas being Indoor (with air-conditioning) and Outdoor (al fresco style).

The restaurant is opened from 11am until 11pm daily, and you can either order from the menu, or choose to have your plate of rice with dishes served together, ala typical Nasi Berlauk style.
