If you want crispy and THE roti prata, this is the place to go to. It’s the original Jalan Kayu roti prata since the 1960s and the one and only in Singapore, it insists. The crispy and cheese prata are good even when eaten on their own. Ask for the more delicious mutton or chicken curry rather than the one that normally comes with the prata. The stall also has tissue prata, which is extremely crispy, and prata with ice-cream and garlic. Expect to pay S$0.60 for a plain prata and S$1.20 for one with egg.

For the benefit of those who don’t know what roti prata is, it is composed of dough containing copious amounts of fat, egg, flour and water. The form of fat used is usually ghee (clarified butter). The entire mixture is kneaded thoroughly, flattened, oiled and folded repeatedly. It is then allowed to proof and rise, and the process is repeated. The final round of preparation consists of flattening the dough ball, coating it with oil and then cooking on a flat iron skillet with a lot of oil. The ideal roti is flat, fluffy on the inside but crispy and flaky on the outside.

I’ve tried their Adriano pizza (smoked salmon with onion rings and capers) and hmmm….. hmmm…. hmm….. I’m a convert now and I will only fall back on Pizza Hut only in case of emergency.
