Local Food

Can you believe that I've have finally tried the pratas from Springleaf only many many months after their opening (when I live just a 5-min walk away)? But the pratas were really yummy, perfectly crisp and non-oily! How did they ever get that perfect texture that I like? But that cup of teh halia (I asked for more ginger) was way too sweet and lacked the gingery kick! Service (on a weekday dinner) was brisk, the service staff were generally helpful but the lady manning the cashier could have more polite and patient while taking the orders. Still, good place for pratas (and I will definitely be back for more)!

Honestly, I haven't had a prata in ages (maybe 2 years or so). So long as the prata is crisp and less oily, it's always a good prata (to me). So thankfully, the mushroom prata I had at this neighbourhood Indian muslim place near home was both (crisp and less oily).

Finally gotten down to trying the popular tow kwar pop (aka the Singapore-style salad) for lunch. This was such a delight to eat with those crispy hand-grilled stuffed tau pok, crispy warm fish crackers and a mix of fresh fruits (apples, shredded papaya and thinly sliced turnip)! I will definitely be back for more.

Well, this is definitely not something on my radar when I do (rarely) dine out (these days). But this nasi ambeng set for four (that fed 7 adults) for dinner last evening was so delish and yummy that I wouldn't mind returning for seconds. A lovely communal-style dining that is perfect for dining with family :) #dinnerwithfamily
