Garuda Padang at Orchard Central

Orchard Central is one of those buildings in Singapore that though creative in its design, totally loses in terms of functionality. If you drive, be smart and get a free valet parking; otherwise you will be going around the car park which can be quite a merry go round.

It was a rainy afternoon when my colleagues decided to dine here after giving them several options to choose from. Garuda Padang has quite a lovely spacious setting set high on the 7th floor. You almost feel you are somewhere near the sky, specially with the tall windows.

As for the food, it's nothing to boast about, to me it's nothing more than regular Indonesian dishes to choose from. We had the beef redang, the ikan billis with peanuts (winner), sayuh londeh, omelette (winner), bagadel, curry chicken, and eggplant.

Simple basic Indonesian food without the wow factor. Yet I must say it's a great place for both colleagues and friends to hang out for a meal, away from the bustle of the rest of Orchard Road.

Garuda Padang has since closed it's outlet at Orchard Central, and have moved to East Coast Road.
