Prata Cafe
26 Evans Road,(next to Evans Lodge)
Tel: 6333 6979
Opening hours: 6.30am till midnight everyday.

Last friday, went to Prata Cafe for dinner. Actually, was planning to go Al Ameen for pratas and briyani. But after watching Where The Queue Starts 2 on wednesday about prata, we finally decided to go to Prata Cafe to take a look.

A lil information about Prata Cafe

Prata Cafe operates early in the morning till midnight. If you want to go there, it’s wise that you have cars to drive you there. It’s kinda deep down from the main road. Finding the parking lots there wasnt difficult. Cause next to it, there’s a carpark.

Prata Cafe has a varieties of 34 pratas. The prices vary from 80 cents to $6. Their signature prata is Italian Prata(which i didnt have chance to try). It is made up of generous amount of mutton, cheese, mushroom, onions and capsicum.

Ok. We reached there around 8pm, and it was FULL HOUSE!.both indoors and outdoors. So, practically waited for seats and eyeing for people who were almost done eating. The assistant told us to order first as we will have to wait for one hour for the prata.

So, we ordered food like:

1. Tissue Prata
2. Seafood Prata
3. Thosai
4. Mutton Chip Chop
5. Ice Cream Prata
6. Cheese and Mushroom Prata

Tissue Prata
S$1.50
Rating:
Food for thought: It was crispy, but i preferred Al Ameen’s. There,the tissue prata is BIG and crispy. With a bite, you can also feel the sugar bits on the prata.

Seafood Prata
S$***
Rating:
Food for thought: A must try dish! Eat it with the curry sauce given. Generous amount of ingredient.. You wont be bored after eating one piece.

Thosai
S$***
Rating:
Food for thought: Hmmx.. still acceptable. I think i cant get used to the taste.

Icecream Prata
S$***
Rating:
Food for thought: this is fantastic! you can bring along the kids to try it. With the great use of colors, it can really make one happy. The icecream comes with different flavors like strawberry and chocolate. I had strawberry one. The prata is some kind of tissue prata, but it wasnt that crispy.

At first, i thought it was just a campus romance story. But it was more than what i expected. In this 90 minutes movie, Jay, known as Ye Xiang Lun(葉湘倫) was transferred to a new school, and was a music student there. The idea of this movie came from Jay’s childhood experience:

“It happened when I was about 14,” he said. “She broke up with me saying that the exams were near.”

Ye Xiang Lun(葉湘倫) came from a single-parent family, and his father is a teacher in the college 葉湘倫 is studying. One day, he met a girl 小雨 who also like music. Both of them grew affectionately towards each other. But one day, because of a misunderstanding, 小雨 went missing. But the movie slowly revealed the secret of 小雨’s.

为什么要对你掉眼泪
你难道不明白为了爱
只有那有情人眼泪最珍贵
一颗颗眼泪都是爱都是爱
—–
为什么要对你掉眼泪
你难道不明白为了爱
要不是有情人跟我要分开
我眼泪不会掉下来掉下来
—
好春常在
春花正开
你怎舍得说再会
我在深闺望穿秋水
你不要忘了我情深深如海

The movie was kinda sad and my tears just couldnt stop flowing.

For those who haven’t watch the movie, you should really go and watch. Dont miss it. Jay played the piano real good. For those who watched already, i dont think you would mind watching it again. After discussing with my friends after the movie, i realised that Jay included alot of 小细节.

By now, you should already familiar about who managed to get into semi finals. In my opinion, i felt that this year’s campus superstar 2 was disappointing. The good ones were being booted out from the competition and the not-so-good ones can just go on to the next round just because many people were voting for them.

Let us think:

SINGING POTENTIAL OR POPULARITY?

Sometimes, it was so disappointing that the good ones were not allowed to go in to the next round, despite the fact that they received the highest score from the judges. But, what can we do right?

The reason why zi jie(梓杰) was booted out.

Last week, Zi Jie(梓杰) was eliminated out from the competition. Zi Jie(梓杰) has always got two major pillars supporting him- Diya and Carrie. Fans of both will also help to vote for zi jie. I’m not saying that zi jie got no potential and only depend on these two pillars. Zi Jie is good at singing, but the only problem is he chose the wrong song. Like the song “My Way”, he didnt really fulfil the elements needed for that song.

But, i was thinking is it because of that reason that caused him to be eliminated out. That night was the Dancing Theme. He chose 流行主教. One dreadful afternoon(31 July), someone saw him at the St James Powerstation attending Jay Chou’s Tea Dance Party. Jay Chou is one of his favourite singer. [Zi Jie(梓杰)] being a famous person due to campus superstar, everyone around him will look at him closer and observe what he is doing. Suay suay, someone saw him cutting queue while waiting for Jay Chou to come.

“C’mon la Zi Jie, you are 179cm taller and you cant pretend that no one will see you right? Somemore, you are a somehow public character. Everyone will remember what you have done. ” (this information is from one of my friends who attended the tea dance and saw the situation)

Thanks for the support for polling your all-time favourite NDP song. Keep on polling. As you can see the majority (44%) voted for Home(not Daughtry’s Home but Kit Chan’s Home), which was the NDP Song for 1998. Home was written and composed by Dick Lee. Like other bloggers mentioned in their blog, this year’s NDP song- There’s No Place I’d Rather Be is like a continuation of Home as the lyrics described again about our home-Singapore.. how Singaporeans who are out of country miss their homeland and there is no other place we call a home but Singapore.

Careful analysis by Jeremy Yew, he mentioned that the first three notes of the chorus, “There’s No Place” have the same tune as “This is home”.

From Jeremy’s blog

It’s the first 3 notes of the chorus!

Just compare the tune of ”This is home…” with “There’s no place…”. They’re essentially the same notes! (i.e. 3-4-5), so you couldn’t fault someone for mistaking one song for the other.

20th century NDP Songs VS 21st century NDP Songs

Can you really remember the lyrics of the NDP songs after 2000? If you ask me, i will shake my head. Actually, i cant remember what’s last year’s NDP song =X. I agree with some of you that the arrangement of the 21st Century NDP songs are getting better than the 1990s. But were the lyrics memorable that you can confidently pick someone on the streets and ask them to sing for you? I have no problem recalling the whole lyrics for Home.”this is home truly.. where i know i must be..”

So, i was wondering what’s your favorite NDP song.. Vote now.
