MY Warong M2M

Throughout Indonesia and Malaysia, a warung or warong is a small kiosk selling snacks, cigarettes, and daily essentials, but warong sometimes also hawk humble street food too. MY Warong M2M started out this way before growing into a thriving chain of cafés serving delicious Singaporean, Malaysian, and Thai cuisine with brisk service and affordable prices. The spirit of warong food survives at this halal restaurant down Singapore’s Changi Village Road.

Inspired by the humble warong of Indonesia and Malaysia, diminutive community food stalls that vend classics of village cuisine, MY Warong M2M’s Changi Village Road serves the same affordable, traditional dishes that every native Singaporean loves and gets homesick for when they’re overseas. The My Warong M2M special menu is probably your best bet, bursting with simmering goodies like Ayam Penet, Nasi Lemak Rendang Ayam, Soto Jalarta, and the extra-special Mee Rebus Gearbox. All that gets prepared in MY Warong M2M’s Singapore kitchen is honest and homely.

MY Warong M2M’s Changi Village Road premises exudes the rustic charm of the classic warong nasi, with long bench-like wooden tables and chairs arranged out the front of the restaurant itself, which is hardly larger than the buffets laden with classic Indonesian and Malaysian dishes allow. And that is what MY Warong M2M is all about, getting intimate with friends, family, and even strangers over delicious home-made meals. Singapore could do with more of these warung-style halal restaurants. In a city gleaming with glass and silver and rushing headlong into the future, it’s refreshing to find a restaurant that takes it back to the roots from time to time.
