You know, whenever people talk about roti prata, there's bound to be someone that will say "Roti prata in Jalan Kayu." They're as closely related as vampires are to twilight. Of course, many swears about how good it is. Therefore, me and my makan kakis went to try it out to see how good this practically legendary pratas are.
(That's some daring statement.)
Before I start talking about how their pratas were, please look at the photo above this paragraph: They actually dare hang a banner that says that they are the "Awarded Best Roti Prata In Singapore". Well Since they have to guts to put that up, their pratas better be good man... (Also, one thing's for sure: The restaurant's name is as long as heck: Thasevi Food Famous Jalan Kayu Prata Restaurant.)
Just so you guys know, their menus are mounted on the wall. And I recommend everyone to take a good look at it before offering. Trust me. (Have a sneak peak of what I mean by looking below this texts)
(Prata= $0.90. Prata + Ice Cream= $6.)
(Plain Prata- $0.90)
So yeah, about the pratas. When I saw them, my first impression was "Damn, that's some small prata." However, I must add that they prata are crispier than most prata I had. However, I have one very simple complain: The pratas are way too thick. For the curry, it was quite nice in fact! It had just the right amount of spiciness and tartness, without being too watery. One thing's for sure: This don't deserve the title of "Best Awarded Roti Prata In Singapore". 'Cause if it does, I'd have to travel overseas to try some roti pratas that actually deserve such honorable title. (4/5)
(Not exactly what you'll call happy.)
As you can tell from the photo above, most of us were rather disappointed at the prata, since it is the most famous roti prata in Singapore, you would expect something better than this, right?
Conclusion
Big time, majorly overated. Do not bother going there if you're expecting the best roti pratas you'd ever tasted. (Unless you have never eaten pratas before or have a problem with your taste buds.)
(Just so you guys have an idea how we felt when waiting for the pratas to be ready, here's an illustration.)
(He looks so happy... If he only knows what's coming up next.)

P.S. If anyone sees a similarity between himself and the picture of the roti prata, it is merely coincidental. However, we do find the similarity hilarious.
