I have always walked past Waroeng 613 when I am going towards Plaza Singapura from Centrepoint, and am always intrigued by the food. It is a quite a hole in the wall type of eatery as it has no loud banners announcing its presence at the Concorde Shopping Centre (previously known as Le Meridien Shopping Centre). It is at the corner of the building right where the traffic junction is.Last week we decided to head there for a late lunch. We ordered the grilled squid set and Asem Sayur set with a side order of beef rendang. The grilled squid was very good. Tender and with a gentle bite to it, it was not rubbery at all. The set came with a small bowl of asem sayur, rice, veggies, tofu, crackers and sambal. The veggies reminded me so much of the typical Indonesian food which I used to eat when younger. Having Indonesian relatives means regular exposure to Indo food, especially those from Jakarta.
The asem sayur set came with rice, flattened fried beef (forgot the Indo name), crackers and the sambal. The soup was quite disappointing as I was expecting more of an assam (tamarind) taste. Instead it was a bit bland and mild with a slightly sweet aftertaste. I much prefer the version over at Ayam Penyet Ria which was more like home-cooking.
The side dish of beef rendang. It looked tiny but it was actually quite substantial for two persons to share. The rendang was fabulous and went very well over the rice and the beef was quite tender and soft. The prices were affordable with sets at below $10. We had freshly squeezed juices and they also offered many types of shakes, including avocado. Oh, the sets also came with desserts of a jelly and a piece of fruit. You could also order the grilled bananas too.
