My experience with Masakan Padang is definitely not one where you go to the front and pick the pieces you want. My experience has always been that you are given a bit of rice and then the owner brings heaps of dishes to your table from which you can then eat what you want. They simply then count the empty plates for cost.
The problem can be that you are allowed to taste the sauces and still not purchase the plate. The way that some people might do this is questionable!
