Bringing the warmth of Indonesian home cooking to Orchard Towers, Ibu Sarah Kitchen is a cosy spot where rich spices and heartfelt hospitality take centre stage. Opened by founder Sarah Jacob, the restaurant offers an inviting space reminiscent of a homely living room — complete with mismatched furniture, lush greenery, and mellow golden lighting that sets the tone for a laid-back meal.
The menu celebrates Minang and Southeast Asian flavours, with signatures such as tender Beef Rendang, fiery Dendeng Batokok, and Gulai Kakap Merah — a fragrant red snapper curry simmered in coconut and spice. Every dish is crafted with care by an Indonesian chef, accompanied by nostalgic Golden Oldies that add to the charm.
With 80 seats and a small stage for live performances, Ibu Sarah Kitchen draws in both regulars and curious newcomers for its authentic flavours and relaxed atmosphere. The team’s passion for creating a warm, communal space is evident, and as more restaurants open nearby, the revived energy of Orchard Towers continues to grow — one comforting meal at a time.
