Location: MacKenzie Rex restaurant, Prinsep Street, off Selegie Road, Singapore.
After my experience with MacKenzie Rex restaurant during Indo-Sing mailing list moderators' dinner event last October, I took my family there for a dinner on Friday night.
Both Inka and Irza are already fans of shark fin soup since our dinner at Mak's Place last month, so they were very delighted when they found out that it's also part of the menu that night. They really like it very much.
Some of the other dishes we ordered include chicken with dried chilli, hotplate beancurd and baby squid.

| | Garuda Restaurant is an Indonesian restaurants chain serving authentic Padang / Minangkabau food. They have a branch in Orchard Road, Singapore (behind The Heeren Shops), and just opened another branch at VivoCity's basement floor.
I haven't visited both outlets, instead, I managed to visit one of the restaurants in Jakarta during my mudik trip to Jakarta last month. The one I visited is the branch located along Arteri Pondok Indah highway. If you're taking the highway from Pejompongan towards Pondok Indah, the restaurant is located on the left side of the road, before the Kostrad junction.
How about the food? Well, we might appreciate its Minang-authenticity in Singapore, but in Jakarta? Not too much different from other Padang restaurants such as Sederhana or Simpang Raya. Furthermore, each dish is priced a bit more expensive compared to its competitors, so I don't see any added value to it. But still, the food can satisfy our Singapore-fed stomach craving for authentic Minang food. :)
