Decided to check out this place for lunch out of curiosity since I have passed by the place several times noticing the banners advertising its recent opening.
Ordered an egg thosay ($1.50), a tissue prata ($1.50), soup kambing ($3.50), mutton curry ($3), fish curry ($3) and a Milo-O ($1.20).
To my suprise and delight, the soup kambing was FANTASTIC and is the answer to my long search for a good soup kambing ever since my favourite one in Toa Payoh Lorong 4 closed down. The soup is wonderfully flavoured and robust with just the right amount of spiciness and ample tender chunks of mutton. The only small grouse I had was the layer of oil on top which took some time to skim off. Definitely a Die-Die-Must-Try!
The mutton curry again was one of the best I've had for a while and the the fish curry was well above average too.
The thosay came with a yummy and fresh (unlike those you get at most thosay places) spicy grated coconut and a delicious sambar (vegetable curry).
Did not like the tissue prata despite its crispiness because it was coated with sugar but that's my idiosyncrasy as others may like it.
The Milo-O was really rich and great value at that price. Must try their Milo-Cino ($2) next time.
They serve a wide range of food including nasi lemak, set breakfast- egg, hot dog, 2 slices of buttered or kaya toast and tea/coffee ($3.50), mee goreng, mee soto, bryani, a wide range of thosays and pratas (durina, icecream etc), soup tulang etc.
This is a place where I shall be returning to sample their food again and again and again..
Hmmm...must do an impromptu session soon....
Happy Prata Cafe-ing!!!
