Salero Kito Padang - Kurunjang

Salero Kito Padang has been dishing out cheap and cheerful meals without fail all these years. Popular with the lunch time crowd for the quick and easy bain marie offerings, you’ll see a mix of students and office workers here. A concise a la carte menu is also available, and if ordering from this menu, you get a complimentary Teh Kotak with your meal.<br/ <br/ The Padang cuisine is famous for its use of coconut milk, chillies and spices. Bold and piquant, you’ll enjoy the amazing depth of flavours here. The beef rendang and chicken curry are my go-to order from the bain marie. The beef rendang here is the dry version, and it may not suit those who prefer to drown their beef in sauce. Beautifully spiced and rich in flavours, this aromatic dish goes down well with rice. The same can be said for the curry chicken, and the curry sauce that comes with this is to die for.<br/ <br/ Some days the flavours, and the serving size, can be better than on other days, but nevertheless you’ll always be assured of a tasty and affordable meal here.

Went here for the first time today and already a guaranteed repeat customer. Everything felt very genuine- even the cheap furniture and Styrofoam cups. The food was greasy, salty, and delicious. Definitely closer to comfort food than ' 'clean ' ' eating. They clearly value flavour and authenticity over being sellable to a larger audience and I appreciate that, it 's mean they sell things harder to find in other Indo restaurants around Melbourne. It 's real Padang food for Indonesian tastebuds. I 'm not sure what other reviews are saying about them skimping on the curries because my plate was overflowing and I actually ran out of rice. This may have been because I came quite early (like 11:30) so I probably recommend that if you want a big serving. I had the lamb brain, eggplant, and jackfruit/cabbage curries. Lamb brain and eggplant highly recommended. The jackfruit/cabbage is mostly cabbage (but still quite tasty).

Love the food. I tried spicy chisken, and jackfruit cury best sambal ijo

Love the authenticity of the food at this placeMy go too is the three with rice combo. Lambs brain, tendon, the black beef rendang, and jackfruit

Selero kito is a definite must-try for those that want to get to know Indonesian food more since it's a very authentic Padang food with great beef rendang and tasty daun singkong replacement (idk what it was but it tasted just like daun singkong)<br/ <br/ They are spicy too which is fantastic! Would love it if the rice is also as authentic as how Padang people do it, not as mushy as this, but not a problem for a homesick Indonesian like me.
