Nasi Padang Attack!!! Nasi means rice and Padang is a place in Indonesia. So literally it's Padang-nese style of rice. Since there are a lot of varieties of nasi padang, the postings of nasi padang will be numbered as "Nasi Padang Attack (number)" and will be tagged with "nasi padang" on every post.
Now the first and probably the most famous nasi padang around Indonesia is Nasi Padang "Garuda". That's not a type of nasi padang, instead, it's just a brand of something like fast food chain. But Garuda is by far, the most famous brand in Indonesia. You can find its franchise at level B1 vivo city which cost like 10 times more.
The most common thing about Nasi Padang is that it's a dish of rice, with some curry gravy on top and some meat and veggie to accompany the rice.
For this Garuda, we can either choose a range of meat: curry chicken, fried chicken, grilled chicken, grilled fish, sambal fish, etc. etc. And somehow, this garuda always have the sweet potato leaves with a bit of "belacan" chili sauce". Picture below:
Appearance ♥♥♥◦◦ Simple traditional look with banana leaves as wrapping, after that another wrap with low quality paper. This is the dabao-ed (packed) appearance.
Tastiness ♥♥♥◦◦ Probably they should have given chicken in big sizes. This one is definitely too small to go with the rice.
Sinfulness ♥♥◦◦◦ well for this one, the rice is kinda filling and that's it. Not so much of gluttony left after that. The situation will be different if you'd asked for more gravy.

Yep! Agree with the price mentioned. So, if you wanna try Padang rice, just ordered it from Indonesia. It is much much much cheaper. ;P
