Roti Prata cooked using Olive Oil

To cater for the health conscious, even the humble and traditionally oily roti prata has turned healthy, at least for the use of oil. Notice the large poster hung across the front section of the coffee shop and the large wordings at the bottom "1st Shop in Singapore using Olive Oil Roti Prata". There is an interesting indian chap there who speaks fluent mandarin called Simon who took our orders.
Where is this place? It is called the Thohirah Restaurant and situated along Jalan Kayu and just beside the public car park. Prices are not cheap and it is suggested that you go through the bill before you pay to make sure that you are not 'slaughtered'.

Here, we call it Roti Canai (same as how Malaysians call it). One roti canai dish consists of an thin layer of prata (imagine a slice of prata cut into many layers) folded loosely a few times to give the impression the serving is bigger than it actually is, plus a small dish of curry (just plain curry, diluted by sg standards and no meat or potato). Costs around USD 3-5, and is mainly served as an appetizer.
