My husband and I decided to drive up to Jalan Kayu to have some roti prata (a.k.a Indian pancakes) for lunch. Jalan Kayu has always been well-known for its roti prata. We saw the Thasevi Food once we hit the food street of Jalan Kayu. Apparently Thasevi has been around since 1960, it has been selling roti prata for more than 50 years! And yes, it’s on a 24-hour operation.
We shared one plain prata (S$1), one egg prate (S$1.80), and one chicken murtabak (S$6). The plain prata was outstanding, crusty on the outside and yet soft (‘springy’) as you chewed on it. The curry dip was not too diluted, I think it was fish curry. We have not eaten such good plain prata for a long time. Even though the chicken murtabak was also very good, we knew we will just go for the plain prata on our next visit.
