Historic Nasi Padang restaurant at Clarke Quay, serving Sumatran-style dishes since the 1950s
Rendezvous Restaurant Hock Lock Kee is a storied Nasi Padang establishment at Clarke Quay Central, tracing its roots back to the 1950s when it first opened along Race Course Road. The restaurant is one of Singapore's oldest surviving Nasi Padang eateries, serving a spread of Sumatran-style dishes that include rendang, sambal goreng, ayam bakar and sayur lodeh. Diners choose from a counter display of freshly prepared dishes ladled over steamed rice, a service style that has remained unchanged for decades. Rendezvous is particularly renowned for its beef rendang, slow-cooked until tender in a rich coconut spice paste. Despite its relocation to The Central at Clarke Quay, the restaurant retains its old-school charm and continues to attract loyal regulars and new generations of Nasi Padang lovers.Based on 631 Google reviews
