Good traditional Patong Curry Dishes. We had the rendang chicken thigh, fish curry, beef soup, sayur lodeh, begadel and tauhu mixed vegetables. Comforting mid day lunch. Above average but not at a great level. I remember they have a lot more options during those days along Selegie/Bras Basah Rendezvous Hotel. Standard dropped a notch.
chicken were juicy and tender, sotong was well cooked as well, however the beef was overcooked and tough. curry were flavourful and thick.
as many have mentioned, food might not be served piping hot as ingredients were cooked and chopped up separately before the hot curry was added.
This Indonesian inspired style food restaurant is very spacious and is an extremely popular place esp on the weekend. You order and pay at the counter. The dishes are served in small bowls and the food is brought to your table. Casual dining. Well air conditioned. 6 of us ordered 8 dishes and that was more than sufficient.
Love organising dinners for big groups (10) here at Rendezvous, where they appear to produce authentic Peranakan cuisine so effortlessly. It’s also easily accessible by MRT & car with plenty of parking.
Haven’t been here for long while. Am surprised they have assam pedas fish head for just $23! It was good for 4 pax. We had to wait for 15 to 20 minutes cos they had to cook it there and then. It was fresh and really delicious. We also had the chicken rendang thigh, cabbage salad and pickled salad. Chicken thigh was tender and both salads were yummy too. Am going back soon for the yummy delicious assam pedas fish head.
Nasi padang in restaurant setting.
Food is very good and tender. Chicken begedil is fantastic.
Love the curry and the sambal chilli.
Price is on the high side. $43 for all these in 📸 for 2 pax.
Chanced upon this place when I wanted to eat Ramen but realized that Santouka Ramen is permanently closed. A little pricey but each curry has it's unique taste! My favorite is the mutton curry and curry vegetables! After trying out their curry, I think I will revisit at least once a month!
My partner and I just had lunch at Rendezvous Restaurant Hock Lock Kee, and it was honestly one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. We’re both extremely disappointed and angry that we spent good money on what turned out to be an absolute scam.
• The food was cold – not even lukewarm. It’s shocking that they would serve pre-cooked food that’s been sitting around for who knows how long.
• Completely bland. There was zero flavour, no spice, no aroma – just sad, soggy dishes that tasted like they’d been made with no care whatsoever.
• Ridiculously overpriced. For what we got (cold rice, tasteless sides, and watery curry), we might as well have thrown money in the bin. You’re paying for nostalgia or reputation, not quality.
• Lack of variety and freshness. Even the basics like sambal and rendang were underwhelming and felt mass-produced, not like authentic, lovingly-prepared nasi padang at all.
• Service was cold too – no greeting, no smile, just rushed and indifferent.
We should’ve just taken a Grab to Hjh Maimunah or Rumah Makan Minang instead – both places actually serve fresh, flavorful, and authentic nasi padang instead of trying this. Lesson learned the hard way.
Honestly, this place is trading on its name and old-school reputation, but the food and experience are completely undeserving of it. We left still hungry, still angry, and feeling completely cheated.
Avoid at all costs. There are way better and more authentic nasi padang places in Singapore. This one’s just coasting on its past and fooling people who don’t know better.
We stopped by Rendezvous Restaurant Hock Lock Kee for a quick lunch and were immediately intrigued by their unique offering of Chinese-style nasi padang.
Took a leap of faith and ordered a few dishes to share—and we weren’t disappointed. While the spice level was milder than we’d hoped for, the food was still delicious and satisfying.
I’m giving it 4 stars mainly because the dishes could’ve been served a bit warmer.
That said, the friendly service and overall experience made up for it.
We’ll definitely be back to try more!
First time trying out this restaurant nasi padang. The dishes are really yummy and authentic. There are different chilli/gravy for different dish. We have ordered begedil, squid, fried chicken, rendang chicken, egg plant, sayor lodeh and egg. Each dish had it own taste, especially the chicken rendang. The gravy is superb. The price is slightly on the high side compare to the size of the dish but it is ok to eat here occasionally.
