The Flying Pancake

Tag:, , , ,

Roti Prata is something that I have to introduce to my friends in the Bay Area.

I find the process of the prata man flipping the prata quite intriguing (Notice there are no holes in his dough). The end product looks like a thinly crusted pancake, and it is usually served with curry.

I went back to Prima Taste Restaurant for the second time this week to savour the taste of Singapore cuisine. The prata was excellent.

I also had ice-kachang.

Ice-Kachang

Syrup and evaporated milk is poured onto shaved ice. Below the ice you can find hidden delights like corn, red bean, grass jelly and attap chee (palm seed).

In Singapore, a plain prata costs S$1, and you can get ice-kachang for about S$1.50. But here in the Bay Area, when I need to pay US$2.95 for each serving of prata and ice-kachang, you bet I finished up every bit of prata, curry, ice and red bean.
