Rumah Makan Sederhana

I've been eating at Padang Restaurants for the last 2 days in the row.

Yesterday, I had nasi padang at restaurant Garuda and today, I had it at Rumah Makan Sederhana.

At Garuda, there are more assortment but it's more expensive than Rumah Makan Sederhana.

As usual, I really enjoy the performance how the waiter is carrying the food to the table :) Sorry, the pictures kinda blur, the waiters weren't really cooperative since they must move and serve the food fast.

    Oh yes.. definitely must have the skill, they can put almost 20 plates in one hand!!! Not sure how long they need to do the training.

    I thought they can do it with beer mugs during the Oktober feast but it looks these men have no problem with the big plates too...

    I just love lots of small assorted dishes, which is probably why I get so happy over dim sum, since I can't get my hands on Padang cuisine over here.

    golfer: hi golfer! long time no see! how are you? :)
    Me a food expert? Hahaha.. No lah, no yet ;)

    Yes, I love cooking but I'm not really good in posting my cooking recipes, hehehe

    olivia: Ah.. too bad that Padang food hasn't gone out internationally yet. It's always fun to choose what food to eat since they put all their dishes on the table :D

    13th panda: hi 13th panda, so nice to see you in here :D

    I think the top requirement to work as a waiter in a Padang restaurant is the skill to carry all the dishes :)

    Padang food is so good for its variety. If I am staying a few days over one place I will definitely want to eat Padang. Stomach can't take too much spicy stuff. Once I have to skipped having it in Jambi while while friends had a gala good meal!

    worldwindows: Padang food contains a lot of coconut milk and chili thus for someone people who got sensitive stomach, they need to be careful :)
    Ah.. you have been to Jambi? Was it nice?

    sc: Hehehe.. It's an interesting entertainment to see how those waiters are carrying those plates :D
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too :)

    The waiters are so well-trained! Can they balance the cups as well?

    food for tots: the cups? uhmmm... not really sure about it. Maybe, I should ask them when I eat again in a padang restaurant :)
