Roti Pratas

Address: Off telok blangah road right before Seah im food centre
Opening hours: 3-6pm for pratas

Price:  Avg $3 pax (for one plain, one egg and a cup of tea)

Cuisine: Indian








Some said this place serves authentic and good pratas. This place usually do not have many people when they serve pratas due to its timing where people usually have their tea time. But sometimes the timing seems to fit our lunch time when we were out so we had pratas for lunch.

The pratas are hand made and crispy. There are also different types of sauces available besides curry which all of them in the buckets instead plates where it is seen at other prata shops or stalls. These buckets of sauces and curries are also shared around the tables.

The pratas which are served on paper sheet are not bad except that some may find the buckets of curry not that hygienic as sometimes no one may know that the bucket of curry could already be contaminated. Still it is a different style of how the pratas and the curry are served.

Aoba Hokkaido Ramen

Address: 1 HarbourFront Walk #01-104/105 VivoCity
Price: About $12 pax

Cuisine: Japanese









It is time for some Japanese Cuisine and Ramen. This Ramen restaurant serves relatively alright Japanese food. It's rice bowl has that slight salty taste and it is pretty small in portion. But with the side dishes, it should be adequate. The ramen is alright at least it serves to satisfy someone craving for ramen but may not be the fantastic kind. Sometimes it can be rather oily also. The place is most of the time filled up so if you like an atmosphere with a crowd, this is one place you can go.

Sambal beef rice@food republic

Address: Food Republic outlet on level 3 of VivoCity
Price: $6

Cuisine: Chinese




This is a delicious thought come true cooked in a satisfying tasty result. The tenderness of the meat in the rich sambal gravy with overwhelming onions is unforgettable. I can only say that it is simply delicious and I would like to have it daily for lunch. The egg topping on the rice really adds a nice tone and balanced visual together with the reddish brown sambal and white rice.

The feeling of dining spicy stuff in the heavily cooled Vivo City is especially warming and comfortable; an ambience just cool enough to keep you dry from the spiciness and warm enough to keep you going in the cool surroundings. The chunky
meat mix is filling for the stomach and certainly leaves a bullish score on revisits.

My Toast

Address: No 1 Bukit Batok Central Link, #02-10A West Mall Singapore 658713
Price: $5 per person









Ever been caught in a heavily rainy day with an empty stomach where all you can do is to roam around the stalls in the mall? And you know at that time, the one thing you can do is to feast on a row of food outlets you are presented with. I go for Mee Siam and Mee Rebus at Toast box and unlike usually on many rainy days, I feel thankful this time round.

The Mee Siam though packed in plastic emits its fresh fragrance and sweet taste very much. The hot box of goodness was what one yearn for and it turn out so well. The dish is so warm that I felt so relieved after consuming and asked for another special: a bowl of Mee Rebus.

I am dumbfounded cos' after having a full stomach, I finished the new dish too,and feeling wanting for more. The coconut aroma just filled my mind and I can certainly take more the next time. Good work Toast box, will try your toast and nasi lemak next time.

Wang Cafe

Address: 10 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4 #01-24/25 (S) 689810
Price: $5.50 per set

Cuisine: Chinese






So reminiscent of the Singapore traditional food favorites that have been propagated from the 70's till present is the constant influx of common yet popular treats like Mee Siam, Laksa,Toast and Hot Milk Tea. This particular set piece is a personal combination for a duo that can be found in Ah Wang's Coffee Shop Restaurant, one of the offerings for re-branded mornings treats as mentioned above that attempts to cultivate traditional morning breakfast for youngsters and urbanists in modern air-conditioned modern ambience.

The mee siam among many other offerings outshine in its right mix of sweet gravy and sour lime freshly hand squeezed that does not burden the stomach with heavy spiciness like others. The table is effervescent with its assam sweet fragrance and warm vapor in the midst of the cool surrounding garnished with chopped spring onion, bean sprout and sliced boiled egg.

The laksa is not the spicy type as compared to some fiery ones, however caution must be exercised for non- chili takers and if you enjoy laksa of heavy gravy base, this is a highly suitable one for you.

As for the toast, it is simply enjoyable as the kaya and butter mix spread melt nicely with every munch of the crispy toasted sandwich.

And the milk tea is just smoothly marvelous with a pleasantly added portion when you choose to up-size it for a few cents more. An overall thumbs up for this well balanced eatery.
