My cravings...
I was craving for roti prata & you tiao (click on links for explanation) recently. For the latter, I cant get any stall selling it near to my house. So happened that I saw a stall at Vivo City Republic Foodcourt with just that & serving with soya bean curd & soya bean milk drink..jpg)
This is the fried you tiao from Vivo. Sorry for the poor quality cos I took the pic discreetly using my HP. Some foodcourt doesn't allow photos to be taken. keke ;p
For the price of 80 cents, consider on the expensive side when we could get it at around 40-60 cents at hawker centers. However, I think its value for money... it was a mighty one, much bigger than those I had eaten before. Fried on the spot to a golden brown & extremely crispy.... aww... I'm missing the crunch now even when I write this. Yum yum ;)~~~~
I actually prefer to eat you tiao with my favourite coffee instead of soya bean milk :)
Above is a typical breakfast I had at home on weekends. Home made roti prata served with chicken curry & coffee.
The roti prata you see are of different size bcos they were from 2 brands of prata. The bigger piece below was onion flavour from Spring Home. The small one on top was plain prata from Chinatown brand. Personally, I think I prefer the Chinatown brand bcos of the right size, looks more palatable, its crispy too !! :)
For the chicken curry sauce, we have tried a lot of brands too. The one that I like "Rasaku" seems not easily avaiable nowdays. They only have the mixture for Chicken Rendang & not chicken curry. I had a hard time looking for it. The curry you see in the pic is from "Orient Of the Spice".... super oily & diluted (NOT nice!!), as though drinking oil glands.... LOL :)
Ended up, I just had prata on its on with the chicken & potato. It tasted just as fabulous that way.

Ed : What???????? Go eat prata not make me into prata !! Luckily you din say chop n make curry... LOL ;)
hi jan, umade me miss my usual chinese breakfast when on the run -- the you tiao and bing or zhang bing (rotti) years ago in china. At times i buy bing or rotti in kilos and save it in the ref.
hmmm yummy breakfast u have here on week-ends!
Went with my sister to eat prata on Dec 30. Don't remember which place already. (BTW, I live in Malaysia but my sister lives in Singapore.) Waited for more than 30 minutes. Getting impatient...
Actually people went there for otak-otak, not prata...
Wow, the chic curry does look very oily. I myself can't seem to make good chic curry. Roti prata looks yummy and crispy, I like! :):):)
Janice! Vivo City...is that at harbourfront...because if it is I was there at the same soya bean stall one day when I went to Singapore last year! Small world LOL I agree that you tiao should be taken with black coffee!! :)
The roti prata looks yummy...too bad that you can't get the same brand of curry...probably because it so good it's always sold out! :):)
Cheers! :)
Wow... you are making me crave for prata liao!!!

Thanks for the prata recommendation! I shall buy some and make whenever I have craving at home!
Hi Janice. That roti prata looks yummy.
BTW, I tried several times but your blog keeps refreshing and directing to another page ~ Advertlets.com. Don't know why but it just stays on for a few seconds and directs there. Thought you might want to know.
Blur Ting : That's rite, save the trouble of driving all the way to Jalan Kayu for you... LOL :D
Rachel : Thanks for pointing out to me. Apparently those with advertlets ads are affected. I have removed the ads for the time being. :)
janice that looks very yummy. any recipes?

Francine : We bought the prata from supermarket to be frozen & fry at our convenience. For the curry, it is also those add water & boil type. No recipe.... *blush*
Cakue is Indonesian snack, but it can also be eaten with rice porridge he he he he...
Amel : ic, I should check with my helper. She is from Indonesia too, perhaps she know how to make too...yum yum ;)
Ohhhh...your helper's from Indonesia? Well, here's the recipe for it:
CAKUE
