Warong Nasi Pariaman

Warong Nasi Pariaman is an eatery along North Bridge Road and Kandahar Street in Singapore. The restaurant is believed to be the oldest surviving stall selling nasi padang in Singapore. The business announced on 22 January 2026 that it would close down at the end of that month.

1. History

The eatery was founded in 1948 by Haji Isrin from Pariaman at the corner of North Bridge Road and Kandahar Street. After Haji retired, the business went to his wife, Hajah Rosnah. In 1988, the business went to their sons Sudirman, Jumrin and Abdul, and their wives. However, Sudirman, who had been heading the team, later left. In 2021, the National Heritage Board designated the eatery as a "mini-museum". This was done in an effort to raise awareness to smaller business with a long history and were often overlooked.
