Sederhana announced it will open its first outlet in Singapore, located in Kampong Glam, through an Instagram post stating its expansion into the country (17/05).

The Indonesian nasi padang chain confirmed that the new outlet is scheduled for a soft opening on 29 May 2026, followed by an official launch in mid-June 2026.

Strategic Location at Former Warong Nasi Pariaman Site

The new restaurant will occupy the former premises of Warong Nasi Pariaman, which operated for 78 years before closing on 31 January 2026.

The location is described as iconic within Kampong Glam, where the historic eatery had been operating since 1948 before ceasing operations.

Sederhana stated that after a long search, it secured the site as part of its effort to bring Indonesian cuisine to the area.

Expansion Beyond Indonesia Into Regional and Global Markets

Founded in 1972, Sederhana currently operates more than 200 outlets across Indonesia.

The brand also has three outlets in Malaysia, located in Kampung Baru, Chow Kit, and Petaling Jaya.

In addition, the company has announced expansion plans to Melbourne, Australia, with a soft opening expected in mid-June 2026 at 207 Queen Street in Melbourne CBD.

Menu Offering and Service Model in Singapore Outlet

Sederhana will maintain its traditional Minangkabau menu, including dishes such as rendang, dendeng balado, and ayam pop.

The service style in the Singapore outlet will remain consistent with its Indonesian branches.

However, the restaurant will introduce a combination of self-service and traditional service methods to accommodate its new international setting.
