Uni Undergrad, 21, Serves Sedap Indonesian Oxtail Dishes At Toa Payoh Café With Sisters

Unlike some young folks who hang out with their pals or dabble with TikTok in their free time, Indonesia-born sisters Rachel , 21, and Mikaela Maswi , 19, run their own café when they're not at school.

They decided to specialise in oxtail as the sisters grew up loving their mum’s oxtail dishes. “We like it and can cook it well. Also, not many places in Singapore offer it,” shares Gabrielle.The past couple of weeks have been hectic to say the least, especially for Rachel, the eatery’s resident cook and mastermind of this biz venture.

skills when she was studying an international foundation course in Scotland in 2020. She was so passionate about starting her own F&B biz that she convinced her sisters to join her and took a $150K loan from their parents to open shop.“I want to create the foundation, so when I graduate next year, I can focus on expanding the business,” she explains.

“By title, I am in charge of finance and operations, Rachel is the chef, and Mika is in charge of marketing. Mum is the CEO, chief emotional officer.”“At the end of the day, this is our family business so if Rachel really cannot cope, we can just do one [meal] sKeeping in theme with the brandpeople can gather over homely food”. It might not be obvious but the furnishings were carefully picked to reflect the oxtail theme and café name.

Dessert of the day, which is either banana fritters, fruit pudding or kolak pisang, a bubur cha cha-like dessert with banana, costs $3.50.This clear oxtail soup, also known as sop buntut in Indonesia, is the bestseller. It’s based on mumrecipe, with some tweaks. Instead of simmering it over the stove, Rachel cooks her soup in the oven.

The savoury soup, which comes with at least two chunks of meaty oxtail, carrots and potatoes, is fragrant and more robust compared to other sop buntuts we’ve tried. We like that it isn’t too oily and the flavourful fall-off-the-bone oxtail is a win. Add $1.50 for rice.However, we prefer the rawon oxtail soup, which has a darker broth. Similarly, oxtail is seared then braised in the oven.
