tatler TIPS
Marco Padang is not your run-off-the-mill Padang restaurant. It’s a Padang-peranakan restaurant in which Chef Marco recreates his grandmother’s treasured recipes. Good things come out of this: the food is not as spicy as other Padang restaurants, the flavours are ingeniously delicious, and the resulting fusion dishes are excitingly new.
• Rendang hitam kayu bakar: Though not as spicy as dictated by traditional recipes, this rendang wins with its smoky flavours and thick, delicious sauce
• The barramundi panggang pacak is sweet, flavourful and
juicy—the perfect dish for seafood lovers!
• Try the es jeruk limo puruk: a refreshing drink that is slightly
sour to set off the sweet oranges.
