First established in 1948 at Kandahar Street by Haji Isrin from the West Sumatran city of Pariaman, Warong Nasi Pariaman has been a constant fixture of the Kampong Glam area.
Serving authentic Padang dishes such as beef rendang, sayur nangka (jackfruit in coconut milk) and sambal goreng, Warong Nasi Pariaman is reportedly Singapore's oldest nasi padang stall.
No reason has been given for its closure.
A recent report by CNA noted that rent prices have surged in the Kampong Glam area, with several tenants in Haji Lane reporting that their rents jumped from around S$3,000 to close to S$10,000 over the past few years.
CNA Lifestyle has contacted Warong Nasi Pariaman for comments.
