The Roti Prata House
highly-greasy crispy pratas
-246K/M Upper Thomson Road
They claim to be the "best crispy prata" recommended by the New Paper. Brightly lit, clean, and with sufficient seats to hold its crowd. You get sort of bugged to take your orders once you settle down, but i could take it as an attempt for efficient service. The food was served quite quickly as well. No Thosais here though, just pratas and murtabaks.
Plain Prata ($0.50)
I always think that the only way to compare different prata stalls, is to see the difference between their good old plain pratas. This is how you can taste the original prata dough and how well-cooked it is. Here, theirs is a small round prata that breaks apart like a biscuit. The prata was more compact, and crispy throughout the entire piece. Might disappoint those who go for soft airy interiors.
Mushroom Egg Cheese Prata
I have no idea how my order of Mushroom Prata got changed into this, but i guess it was an intentional switch. i was initially unhappy about it, but eventually started to feel it was a good change.
Sliced Mushrooms with slightly melted cheese in an eggbased crispy prata. The combination turned out really not bad, and it suited my tastebuds. But, it was very very oily.
Egg Prata
A softer version of prata here, less crispy than the rest. But this was one of the most oily one.
Chicken Murtabak
A savoury prata, with a crispy and drier surface ; filled with marinated chicken meat and cabbage shreds.
The marinade, red in colour, was between sweet and spicy.
Ice Cream Prata
It came as a thin crispy prata wrapped around 3 blocks of icecream then topped with whipped cream. This thinner prata was drier than the others but still, abit of oil oozed as you bite in.
The icecreams, in strawberry vanilla chocolate flavours, were lousy and had a weird tinge of durian taste in all of them. i felt that icecream and prata was not that compatible afterall.
Overall: This place is able to maintain a considerable crowd despite the heavy rain. The thing about them is the crispy surfaces of all their pratas, in which not many can achieve. However for me, i still preferred pratas with the fluffier & airier interiors. No receipt was issued to indicate the prices, but the bill (with 2 teh-o) came out to be around $13+.
