Midas (Hong Lim Market)

Tearing into the crispy exterior of the OVEN-BAKED PRATAS with our forks revealed fluffy layers that tasted savoury and buttery - kinda like puff pastry. Between the plain & spring onion flavour, we preferred the latter as a standalone (as it reminded us of scallion pancake/葱油饼) but loved dipping the former into the meaty curry to soak the hearty flavours!   
   
The Midas Touch Chicken Curry lives up to its namesake, with a robust & flavorful rempah and umami chicken broth making up the golden yellow concoction. The consistency of the Indian-Thai curry slightly leans towards the thicker side, which is good because watery curry is a no-go for me! Found it interesting that the curry also came with a hard-boiled egg, which was equally well integrated into the curry like the meat & potatoes. Our only gripe was the potatoes could be cooked longer for a softer texture, but that's just us nitpicking! 🍲   

The set is not any cheaper than ala carte(6nett for curry, 1.2nett each for "prata")

The spring onion prata and the "butter ckn" were both not available when I went at 12pm, very annoying there's something about one of them being only avail on wed and Thurs

The curry was different from normal for sure, but it's not special. It's creamier and less heavy on spices. Ckn was ckn cutlet cut into chunks and warmed in the sauce which was nice because it's boneless, but the curry doesn't penetrate as deeply as something which has been stewing in the curry for hours

The "prata" was basically pastry skin, except only the centre of the top is crispy and the rest of the "prata" is pretty flabby

Somewhat special but no need to visit, portion is hearty but price is high as well

Curry Chicken was thick and flavourful. Generous amount of chicken & Potatoes. Chicken was tender.

Their Oven-Baked Prata was crispy and comes in plain and spring onion flavour.

Overall quite filling.

7.5/10 for me. Will return to try their other dishes

😋🔥 Baked Roti Prata with Chicken Curry (S$7.40) in Chinatown.

First time trying oven-baked pratas. Crispy, flaky in texture, and not that oily. It reminded me of puff pastry. Both the spring onion and plain ones tasted great.

Curry was mildly spicy, neither too thick nor diluted with pieces of chicken thigh, potatoes and an egg inside. Tastes good when eaten with the crispy prata.

Overall a really filling meal for me since there was quite a bit of chicken meat. Would definitely return to eat here again 👍.

It specialised in curry and prata puff. And the curry was as hot as its bright red colour suggested, delivering some kick-ass spiciness. In the pot enough to feed 2, there were thoroughly cooked potatoes and a large portion of chicken.
Besides the usual rice, their freshly baked prata puff was a satisfying pairing with the curry. Think roti prata but this was like a puffed up pastry, crispy and non-oily, great to soak up the thick and tasty curry.
From the curry, prata puff, presentation and stall name; Midas was a non-conventional stall amidst the other offering traditional local dishes, worth checking out.

You will be greet by a very friendly uncle recommending what to eat. Famous for his crispy roti prata and curry, I enjoy their curry a lot. It was so tasty and creamy, with delicious chicken patties and potatoes. $5.50
