Rumah Makan Simpang Ampek consists of a shop house located next to Sate Apa Ron. There are various types of seating available, including tables with four chairs, tables with ten chairs, and long tables. Visitors can choose the seating that best suits the number of people in their party. The interior of the shop house is neat and clean, ensuring that visitors will feel comfortable eating here.

Food Rack

Menu

The food rack at Rumah Makan Simpang Ampek is large and placed at the front of the shop. Passersby can clearly see the name of the restaurant. The large food rack can hold many types of food. The food menu at this restaurant is all Padang-style. Some of the available dishes include fried fish, grilled fish, omelet, rolled omelet, fried chicken, rendang chicken, and rendang beef. All the dishes and side dishes here are very tasty and delicious.

Order Shelf

Visitors who want to take rice home can also order it without having to eat on site. There are two waiters on duty, one to serve those eating on site and another to serve those taking food home. The order tables are also separated so that there are no long queues for those taking rice home. This means that visitors don't get bored waiting and will feel happy.

Dining Table

The dining table is made of brown wood. The table is set with water, glasses, and tissues. After finishing their rice, visitors can drink as much water as they like and wipe their mouths and hands with the tissues provided.

Drinks Rack

Simpang Ampek Restaurant not only provides a place to eat, but also offers drinking water for those who want something other than plain water. The drinking water available is only in general form, namely in sachets and ready to serve. However, the taste of the drink is also delicious and refreshing.

Cashier

The cashier desk is located in the right corner of the entrance. This cashier desk is for visitors to pay after they have finished eating. This is a characteristic of Padang restaurants, where the cashier desk and menu rack are never combined. This also maintains hygiene by preventing germs from sticking to the money given.

Lunch

I stopped by this restaurant because I saw a large sign on the food rack by the roadside. I wanted to try Padang cuisine because I have often eaten Acehnese cuisine. I ate egg rolls and pergedel. I was curious about the egg rolls, and when I tried them, they did not disappoint. The price for rice with rolled eggs is Rp. 13,000 (9.93 Steem) and pergedel is Rp. 3,000 (2.29 Steem).
