Which Indonesian restaurants in Singapore are halal?
Pagi Sore, Tambuah Mas, Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut (Lucky Plaza) and Pondok Nasi Padang at Marina Bay Sands are MUIS-certified, and Putra Minang's official site states it is halal-certified. Rumah Makan Minang and KULON are Muslim-owned, and Rumah Makan Minang's Tampines and Jurong West outlets are MUIS-listed.

How much does an Indonesian meal in Singapore cost?
Casual spots are cheap. Riverside Indonesian BBQ sets start from around $7.50, KULON's mie bakso from around $6.20, and nasi padang plates usually cost $5-$12 depending on what you pick. Sit-down restaurants such as Pagi Sore, Bumbu and Tambuah Mas cost around $10-$25 per dish, and the Kintamani buffet is from around $48++ at lunch and $52++ at dinner.
Where is the best area for Indonesian food in Singapore?
