Nasi Kapau at Los Lambuang
Los Lambuang
A traditional food stall district below Pasar Atas, where vendors sit on raised platforms and ladle out a variety of curries and rendang with long-handled spoons, serving authentic Nasi Kapau.
Nasi Kapau originates in Kapau village near Bukittinggi and is a branch of Padang cuisine. Its specialties include beef tripe curry, jackfruit curry, beef rendang and assorted chili sauces. Vendors use long ladles to scoop dishes from bowls set up high. The row of stalls at Los Lambuang is especially famous. Dishes are priced by portion, so ask the price before ordering. Lunchtime is the busiest, and the food is spicy, so you can ask the vendor to go easy on the chili sauce.
