Warong Nasi Pariaman is an eatery along North Bridge Road and Kandahar Street in Singapore. The restaurant is believed to be the oldest surviving stall selling Nasi Padang in Singapore.[1]

History

[edit]

The eatery was founded in 1948 by Haji Isrin from Pariaman at the corner of North Bridge Road and Kandahar Street.[2][3] After Haji retired, the business went to his wife, Hajah Rosnah.[4][1] In 1988, the business went to their sons Sudirman, Jumrin and Abdul, and their wives.[5][2] However, Sudirman, who had been heading the team, later left.[2]

In 2021, the National Heritage Board designated the eatery as a "mini-museum". This was done in an effort to raise awareness to smaller business with a long history and were often overlooked.[6]

Reception

[edit]

Anette Tan of the Condé Nast Traveler included the restaurant in her list of the 28 Best Restaurants in Singapore in 2019.[7] In 2016, it was awarded the Heritage Heroes Award for preserving local culinary traditions.[8]
