My Mostly Bad Experiences at RK Prata & I Don’t Get Why People Rave About this Place

Posted on March 4, 2022 by bookjunkie

Usually come if there’s a parking lot right in front of the stall. Just seems convenient. However, service is very inconsistent. Mostly rude, often ignored and you are made to feel invisible, even when the place is relatively empty. There … Continue reading →

Posted on March 2, 2022 by bookjunkie

In my subjective opinion the best teh halia (ginger milk tea) in Singapore. I like my tea, sweet, milky, smooth, not tannic and the ginger doesn’t need to be overpowering .

Thosai at Komala Vilas

Posted on May 30, 2015 by bookjunkie

Always tasty and generous portions at the original Komala Vilas at Serangoon Road. Only thing is after the meal you tend to feel quite bloated. I still love the taste here and it’s been in operation since 1947. I guess … Continue reading →

Posted on March 7, 2015 by bookjunkie

This is definitely my favourite kosong prata (plain prata) – fluffy on the outside and with a dense chewiness on the inside. Tried it twice now, but the first time I was so greedy, I forgot to take photos. I … Continue reading →
