The Roti Prata House @ Upper Thomson Road

You can easily spot this place from its big yellow sign board stating that it is the best crispy prata recommended by The New Paper.

I ordered both the plain crispy prata and egg prata to try. Indeed the plain prata was crispy. However I did not enjoy it. If I am wrong it had a margarine taste which I do not like. The plain prata was also cold and hard. On the other hand, I enjoyed the egg prata as it was fresh, hot and fluffy.

Plain Crispy Prata and Egg Prata 3.8/5

To get here, take MRT to Marymount station and go to exit A. From exit A, walk about 100 metres to Upper Thomson Road. You will see a SPC petrol kiosk. Cross the road and take bus number 52, 132, 162, 163, 165, 166, 167, 855 or 980 from the bus stop. The Roti Prata House is one bus stop away.

Curry Favour @ Stamford House

I think Curry Favour has been around for more than 5 years even when the days MPH was still at Stamford House. It has brought two first in my food experience. My first for Japanese curry and mushroom fry. Whenever I craved for the these two dishes, I would think of Curry Favour. It has been ages since I lasted visited Curry Favour so I suggested Curry Favour for our monthly kaki gathering.

We decided to order some appetizers while waiting for the rest of group to turn up. The mushroom fry was still very excellent, big and juicy. The cheese chikuwa was very good too.

Age Cheese Chikuwa 4/5

Mushroom Fry 4/5

I have the Rosu Katsu (pork loin) and Hire Katsu (pork fillet) combo with spicy curry. Unlike Indian curry, Japanese curry are on the sweet side so it was very enjoyable to eat with the rice. The katsu was also very good. Crispy on the outside and moist in the inside.

Rosu Katsu and Hire Katsu Combo 4.2/5

My friends ordered Cheese Katsu, Beef Curry (tenderloin beef) and Rosu Katsu & Fish Fry Combo were very good too. However the Slow Stewed Beef Brisket curry was a disappointment. The curry sauce was good but the beef was tasteless. My advice is to go for katsu if you want to try the Japanese curry here.
