Nasi bungkus is in the name, but there’s so much more to this canteen slipped into the Wesley Mission arcade. Still, an order that doesn’t include a parcel of banana leaf-wrapped rice loaded with picks from the bain maries is an opportunity missed.

Rendang, saucy and fragrant, is a staple but Padang-style gulai ayam, featuring bone-in curry chicken, is an aromatic call, too. Add the likes of cassava leaves and crisped boiled eggs doused in chilli and it’s a meal for one or two, wrapped up in a neat package.

The menu is deep, covering all corners of the Indonesian archipelago. Smashed fried chicken (and its sambal) packs a punch, and the lamination on the pastel goreng, the fried hand pies stuffed with chicken and glass noodles, is mighty impressive. It may be a generalist, but there’s enough here to keep Pandawa pumping, and to keep you coming back.

Best for: A taste of home, or of something new.
