@salt.oldairport has only gone and done it again. The first time around, they opened up a herbal soup stall that was a sleeper hit, and this time, they’ve gone with everyone’s favourite fried Indian carbohydrate: roti prata. Yup, not sure why they called their stall dedicated to deep fried dough Light, but it is what it is.⠀
⠀
Besides plain ol’ prata, they’ve got a little fusion shenanigan going on in the form of their Signature Wrap-tas. As one may have already anticipated, they treat a piece of prata as a pita and load it with toppings. At a respectable five dollars flat, I bagged myself their chicken cutlet Wrap-ta. The prata is probably frozen packaged stuff, so not much to comment on there besides Light deftly managing to mercifully moderate the grease levels.⠀

The chicken cutlet is the undisputed leading lady here, and those who’ve had the pleasure of eating Salt’s acclaimed chicken cutlets will know why. An ethereally light yet considerably crunchy batter is levitating around the juicy, splendidly salty chicken fillet. Each bite earns you a compelling crunch that elicits a scandalous serving of pleasure, just before the soft, savoury moistness of the chicken satiates your carnivorous inclinations. And of course, artificial nacho cheese sauce is there to seal the delicious deal with it’s salty, processed goodness.⠀

Light’s chicken curry is satisfactorily serviceable, but it only comes with every order of regular prata. So, what do we do? Well it’s simple, we order a piece of regular prata and a wrap-ta. Then, we head over to Ren Min for a pint of beer or five. The wrap-ta is perfect drunk food, and I’ll be damned if I don’t have a beer on hand while scarfing down this greasy, fried fabulousness. And that, ladies & gents, is a wrap.
