its past one and darr has just driven home.
darr picked me up from school over to upper thomson for supper and tonight really sums up your typical singaporean supper of minced meat noodles (bak chor mee), prata and tau huay.
darr took on the real deal featured here- minced pork mee pok while i opted for a mee sua soup version- comfort on a chilly evening.
after that, we hopped two doors down towards for the famous crispy prata house (still along upper thomson road).. funny how this is the first time i am having prata in months even though the prata house is like a stone's away from my place. i think having prata in singapore is a social event and be it breakfast, lunch or dinner cum supper, roti prata fills in just nicely...
best crispy prata in town!
google 'roti prata' and "indian pizza", "singapore's version of the french croissant", "a lighter denser version of the crepe" appears. though amusing, believe me you guys, got it all wrong. haha! prata da bomb- which darr has been craving for all week!
just dip me in curry and call me pleasure!
at the prata house, we were charmed by the savoury and the sweet- cheese and mushroom prata and prata bomb (prata filled with butter and some sweetener). tonight though the cheese and mushroom prata just did not float my boat.. for some very obscure reason.. perhaps because i was craving for something sweet after the noodles.
but my first encounter with a prata bomb was amazing! the spicy curry complimented the sweet slightly crisp flatbread. YUMYUMooo, and it goes without saying that i had my drug- teh halia (ginger milk tea) while darr had her ice teh tarik to soothe the curry-oomph.
oh i think the thomson beancurd is pretty good too.. they use brown sugar syrup instead of the usual damnsweet sugar syrup which would have overkilled. smooth and subtly sweet, we took some back to my place where darr hung out while waiting for the thunderlightening storm to subside.
my face aspires to be as smooth as the tau huay and not as round as the tang yuan.
see you in a week, darr! gives me just about enough time to detox.
