where's the best prata in town?

Have you ever wondered where's the best prata in town? You prata guide brings you a review of the best prata places available.

1. Jalan Kayu Roti Prata.

The first thing that you will notice when you step into Jalan Kayu will be the numerous shops all claiming to be the authentic Jalan Kayu Roti Prata shop. Even two different shops lined up side by side can claim that they are the authentic prata shop. Well fear not!

The real one, i think, is called Thasevi Jalan Kayu Roti Prata. The one besides it also claims to be the authentic roti prata shop but i dont think it is. The point is, it doesnt matter cause the pratas from both shops taste the same.

Down the road there are alot more of prata shops that are worth the money. Of course the Milo Godzilla at the very first shop is a must try.

Just think of how mega big your milo dinosaur can possibly and times the size by MANY MANY times and lots of milo on top and you will get MILO GODZILLA! ROAR!!!

Okay to the stupid prata. The point is, Jalan Kayu roti prata does not taste as nice as you think they do. They come in small sizes and portions. The curry there is just so-so. Furthermore, it is located like in the middle of nowhere. In the middle of SLE to be exact. So unless you have no where else to go i suggest you dont go there.

But one plus point, Jalan Kayu Roti Prata opens 24 hours a day. That is if you can find a decent spot to park there without getting a traffic ticket.

2. Thomson Prata House

Eh this prata house is not bad shial. Located along thomson road, the prata is definitely better than the one at Jalan Kayu. Plus i like the shop keeper there. His memory is like da bomb.

" Uncle, we want...
9 Milo Dinosaurs
10 kosong prata
3 cheese prata
4 egg prata
2 mushroom prata
1 mutton murtabak
1 fried chicken
1 mushroom cheese prata"

Uncles nods his head repeatedly

"Eh uncle you no need to take down ah?"

Uncles waves his hands and points to his head. Presumbly to tell us that he has got good memory.

10 mins later

" Uncle where's my egg prata?"
" Uncle where's my cheese prata?"
" Uncle you forgot my fried chicken!"

30 mins later
" Uncle, bill please"

"Okay tell me what you ate."

"Erh. we ate...
8 kosong prata
1 cheese prata
2 mushroom prata
9 milo dinosaurs

that's all."

"OKAY! THAT WILL BE $15.00!"

No lah we didnt cheat that poor uncle. But it happened you know.

3. Casurina Curry

Casurina Curry is located further down Thomson Road. They are the the only shop that has aircon but the food there is like mother expensive. But they are the only shop around that has aircon and a better ambience.

But Casurina Curry has like one of the weirdest menus and shop keepers around.

Here's what happened when ck, sherwin, jem, ren and i went there. Might have been more people arnd but cant remember exactly who went.

Uncle: "Eh what drinks do you all want?"
Yh: " Tea with ice"
Uncle: " Taaacce?"
Yh: " Huh? Tea with ice!"
Uncle: "Taaace?"
Yh: " Tea with ice! aiyah yah lah taaace!"

As we looked at the menu, we saw this:
Sardine Murtabak $5.00
Sardine Murtabak MR $6.00

First question asked: " Uncle what is murtabak?"
Response: " eh murtabak..big."
Second question asked: "Oh okay so what is MR?"
Response: " eh MR...big?"
Third question asked: " Oh so murtabak big, MR also big. Which one bigger?"
Response: "Both big."

We got the idea and we stopped asking. But if you have the money do try it out and see how big it gets.

After a while we ordered our food. We ordered the weird stuff like mushroom with cheese, mushroom with egg, egg with cheese, cheese only etc

So after the food was delivered, we specialy ask the uncle to identify the different pratas so that we will get what we ordered.

1 min after eating
"Eh where did my mushroom go?"
"Eh how come my one no egg!?"
"Oi wrong lah u ate mine! My one has egg but no cheese."
"No cant be! I didnt order mushroom with cheese! How come there's mushroom with cheese?"
" Are you sure this yellow stuff is cheese? Not egg?"
" Where's my egg!? OH OH OH I FOUND MY MUSHROOM! But still wrong prata!"
" So who's prata did i eat? No one's?"

Okay they are QUITE organized lah. Other than that the food is not bad though.





Okay so that's all for today and stay happy everyone!
