George Town - Restoran Nasi Padang Minang

We'd had a lot of the "nasi" variations so far on this trip, but we'd yet to try nasi padang (named after Padang, in West Sumatra).

This place was serve yourself from a large buffet of dishes. They had lots of good looking fish, so we concentrated on that.

Including their speciality, which was this fried fish with a ton of shallot. The shallots were actally the highlight on this dish - smokey and a bit sweet, we used them as a nice condiment for the rest of our meal.

The smaller fish were, as you would expect, a bit of labor of love to separate flesh from bone, but worth the effort.

In addition to the fish, we got some veg and this big chunk of tofu, which had a really nice texture. The various sauces were all delicous.

Overally, a really tasty lunch in a friendly setting.
