If you can resist the seductive scents of the Indian spice shops and Lebanese sweet shops, the perfume of jasmine rice will lure you to the far south end of Haldon Street’s retail strip. Inside Warung Ita, customers are greeted by friendly hijab-wearing women presiding over a corner bain-marie and a gigantic rice cooker. Choose two or three dishes from the small selection. Eggplant with garlickly sambal and rich beef rendang are the pick of the mains. Time under the lights can turn the chicken pieces as dry as a budget paper, and the samosas can lack spice, so go for the delightful golden-fried vegetable pakoras.
