Now that I've ditched the Bak guk mee, think will try out prata for now..
Though the coffeeshop where the Bak guk mee is has a popular prata stall and there's also a 24 hour prata shop nearby, thier prata is unremarkable , though the curry is good, it's not good enuff to make me want to have it regularly.
The first time I've had roti prata was in primary 4 or perhaps 5. A treat from classmate at the coffee shop near my school. The shop is still there, perhaps the owner has changed , or I just dun know better then, it doesn't taste as good as I remember leh.
Dun realize at that time it's the "印度煎饼" I've read about in my chinese text book, older pple might remember the story : One morning, before going to work, father bring the son to market to tapao roti prata to bring to school.. or something like dat.
Later when I make the connection, thinking of the part of the story when they describe how the stall owner make his hot, freshly made prata always makes me crave for it.Recently , get to try at a 24 hours shop not quite near my house, but just a relatively short trip by bus, their prata is freshly made! and crispy just the way I like it..
I think I found my prata, though probably no going every Sunday. Thanks anyway, Lord Yoda, Yoda man!
