Mr Prata @ Evans Road

Had lunch today at Mr Prata's at Evans Road today, just located at Evans Lodge right opposite the Co-Curricular Activities Center of the Ministry of Education.

This is one of the few 24/7 makan places offering a whole wide range of south indian cuisine such as Roti Prata, Murtabak and the like.

Prices are dirt cheap here, as you can find with most Prata Establishments, and there is a cashcard parking at Evans Lodge for those of you who drive ($1.07 per hour).


Teh Tarik! Perennial Favourite. =)


Beehoon Goreng. Our special guest Gerri ordered this and had these comments: "I liked the texture of the beehoon - not too dry, not too wet, but it could have been better if the egg yolk could have been kept intact..."


My 2 + 1! 2 Cheese Pratas + 1 Plain Prata... good stuff. But the standard of the cheese prata here seems to have dropped somehow. Didn't taste as good as I remembered it. But as with 24-hr prata cafes, 'probably a different cook' comes to mind.


Mushroom Murtabak!


This dish was introduced by Gerri. It's called Chicken 65, and it is actually chicken bits marinated in some indian spices and topped with some leaves and onion peels. Good Stuff! thehumblegourmet's MUST TRY!!! dish of the week.

I spent about $7 per person.

Buffet Greatness @ Kuishin-Bo!

Great food, fresh sashimi, great price, what else can I say? Haven't enjoyed myself so much in a long time.

Located in the heart of Great World City, I had been eyeing this restaurant even before it started opening its doors to do business sometime late last year.

A pic of the sweets and desserts section. Wide range of Chocolates and other sweet items such as mochi here.


For those who are not big fans of Japanese food, standard fare such as fried rice is also available here. =)


Cha Soba! I expected this to be bland and the usual "offered as a dish only because other buffets have it" kind of dish served in a single serving, I was pleasantly surprised that it was quite tasteful~! The noodles were just the right texture and the addition of seaweed, sesame seeds, a dash of chilli powder and some spring onions on top, provided a burst of flavour in my mouth. =) MUST TRY!


Seafood and Sashimi! They offered seafood such as Crawfish, Fresh Prawns, White Clams and Mussels. For Sashimi, they had 4 types: Sake (Salmon), Maguro (Tuna), Kajiki (Swordfish) and Tai (Sea Bream).


The Fried Items Section! Soft Shell Crab, Takoyaki, Tonkatsu on a stick, Scallop with cream topping, Ebi Tempura and Breaded Fish... Abit on the oily side but still yummy. =)


Sweet Treats!~ Konnyaku Jelly, Chocolates, Cake, Marshmellows dipped in Chocolate Fondue, Chocolate Mousse and Mango Pudding! What more can I say?


Sizzling Goodness! Hotplate Tofu~~

Overall, service was good, and the lunch was pretty filling. Lunch will set you back $28.90 per adult, but if you can finish your food within the hour, you only need to pay the promotional price of $20.90. A steal for those who can eat quickly, if you ask me.

Sizzler~~

Heya dear readers! I'm finally back after 2 weeks or so on my Reservist In Camp Training...

Don't ask me about camp food or even worse, Combat Rations, because.... the latter is just plain inedible. I will also decline to do a feature on it for obvious reasons...

Well, first thing out of camp is to treat myself to some good food, so went to Sizzlers' at Suntec City.

They are currently running a promotion for Free Salad Bar with every order of a main dish. The Salad Bar stocks a whole range of salad items consisting of the fresh veggies, chickpeas, ham, salami, and many others. There is also a wide range (I counted 8 types) of salad dressing - Thousand Island, Vinaigrette and Blue Cheese included. 3 type of soup provided too - Mushroom Soup, Clam Chowder and something else which I can't seem to recall now, but quite sure it is some clear soup.

Feeling a little more health conscious that usual, I passed on the sirloins and tenderloins and opted for the much healthier Dory Fish Fillet. They offer this dish in 2 different styles - Grilled or Batter Fried Tempura Style.

I though the Tempura style sounded quite interesting so I ordered it. It came with chilli and tartar sauce, and sided with spicy fries.

The Dory Fish Fillet didn't disappoint, and tasted very fresh and smooth. The tempura style batter was really done like it would be in Japanese cuisine - light and non-oily.

Overall, I'd give Sizzlers' 2 thumbs up for good and friendly service, good food and a good dining experience.

I spent about $32 per person.
