The popular Indonesian restaurant, Chopstix & Rice, has relocated from Orchard Towers to the bustling Suntec City, making its hearty nasi padang dishes even more accessible.

Chopstix & Rice had humble beginnings, starting out as a modest stall within Orchard Towers in 2002, before being acquired by local caterer Neo Group in 2022 and moving to Tower 4 of Suntec City in 2023. Helmed by Madam Loij, who has over 2 decades of culinary expertise, this restaurant presents dishes rich in colour and flavour, with each creation being carefully curated by Madam Loij and her son, Wilson Tan.
