Guru’s Banana Leaf Cuisine

Here’s another quickshot for you kiddies.
Something that simple but I’m sure a lot of you really enjoy…

So my darling wife and I were in Changi Village to run an errand and decided we’d have some breakfast.
Nasi Lemak? Lontong? Mee Siam? Hmmmm…. so many choices….
But we eventually decided to settle on a place that my Dad, my brother and myself had chanced upon when we had gone fishing a few months back…

Roti Prata Kosong ($0.80) and Roti Prata Telur ($1.50)

Now doesn’t that just look like the type of breakfast you’d really enjoy?
Simple and comfortable!! It’s universal!

Now I know there are many many many many places where you can get prata and I’m pretty sure most of you have your own opinion on where has the best prata am I right? Well, I’m pretty particular too but I am willing to admit that there are quite a large number of places where you can get decent prata.

In Changi Village, this is our venue of choice (until something better comes along?)
The prata is crisp and fresh looks damn inviting. And I have to say that even though there are plenty of prata stalls around Singapore, it’s getting increasingly difficult to find one that still sells at the relatively low prices offered at Guru’s Banana Leaf.

Even better still – the prata comes with friends!
A nice big serving of dalcha and sambal to go along with your roti prata is always a winner.
The dalcha has all the trimmings and the sambal was actually pretty nice and that always goes well with prata am I right?

If you’re looking for more than just plain or egg prata, they pretty much have the works in case you were wondering… Cheese, Tissue, Masala, Egg Cheese, Mushroom, Hotdog, Masala, Bom. The list goes on!

Masala Paper Thosai ($3.00)

The last time I stopped by with my Dad and brother, I had the Masala Paper Thosai and I could safely say that it was “Boleh tahan” standard so I decided to have it again.

As usual, it was huge and made for a filling meal. Comes with coconut chutney (mint and spicy) and some dalcha too. But for some reason, today there was a slight issue…

Now, I don’t mean to be a complain king or anything but to me that’s like really really bad.
It’s like really a little bit of masala only! It definitely wasn’t like this the last time…

And further to this, the masala was unfortunately salty AND it was dry too.
Thankfully I enjoyed the crispy flour.

Oh well. Maybe better luck next time?

Or maybe next time I might go back to this place for my thosai…

Adam’s Verdict:
Paper Masala Thosai 1.5/5

Maryah’s Verdict:
Roti Prata 4/5

Maybe I should start a hunt for the best prata?
But I think that hunt might never end actually… So in the mean time let’s stick to the ones we know are good.
