This is prata. All the good stuff is inside!
I haven't talked much about the food here. So W, and all the other foodies too, here we go. The above prata could cost me anywhere between SG$2-5. The Italian one I had the other night cost $5 but was so ridiculously big and filled with goodness that I basked in my own glow of fullness for about an hour afterwards.
Near my current workplace (I change branches in 4 weeks) there are hawker centres next to hawker centres and small restaurants in between. The food, because this is out in the suburbs, is much cheaper than around the area where I live. I can get some really good chicken and rice for SG$2.50. I've taken to the Muslim hawker centre around the corner from my work where they just have everything (except pork, ba-dum-ca!). I can get prata, roti, kway teow, chicken and rice, nasi ayam goreng and the list goes on. All for about $2-3.
Despite the proliferation of cheap seafood I still remain reluctant. Am just not such a huge fan of the crustaceans. They're all tentacles and arms and legs and just not my idea of a good time. So many friends watch on with green faces as I live in these countries where seafood is cheap, delicious and plentiful and yet I don't touch much of it. So sorry guys, there'll be no seafood ideas for you on this page.

YUMMO! I can imagine my one being filled with ricotta cheese. What flavour is the sauce? Sweet or savoury or a combination of both? I'm dying for Indian food right now but my sister says it's expensive in Madrid and really bad. Making gingerbread people for the folks here this weekend.
Baked oysters/mussels is tops!
And then there is pipis in XO sauce.
Asians usually don't like to overcook their seafood and tend to go with the natural flavours so if you are adverse to seafood you might want to buy some and do the cooking yourself. Eat more fish, it's very healthy. The grill is my friend.
Yum! That all sounds really good to me! I'd be in heaven with all that cheap seafood, too!
