Our take: Maisal Nasi Padang is a long-standing establishment, with some reviewers noting its presence for over 40 years.
It's praised for its 'kampung old school vibes' and a wide variety of home-cooked dishes, including beef rendang, mutton curry, and ayam masak merah.
The sambal goreng receives specific commendation.
Prices are frequently described as 'super low' or 'so 90s (cheap)', making it an inexpensive option.
However, multiple reviews highlight significant concerns regarding hygiene, with mentions of pests, pigeons, and an 'off' smell.
Seating is also limited.
We think it's a spot for those prioritising traditional flavours and low prices over a pristine dining environment.
If you're in the Serangoon area and willing to overlook the hygiene issues, it's worth a visit for a taste of nostalgic Nasi Padang, especially for the sambal goreng.
Best to go during off-peak hours, perhaps after the lunch rush, to avoid crowds and potentially secure a seat.
