24-hour spot serving roti tsunami, maggi mee goreng & chocolate prata with curry

With 2 hawker centres, loads of cafes, pubs and eating places, there by no means appears to be a boring second for foodies at Serangoon Gardens. R.Okay. Eating House is certainly one of my common haunts within the space. Whether I’m trying to find a supper spot or craving roti prata, this place will all the time be on the high of my record.

As a lot as I can recall patronising this place for the previous 2 many years, I used to be dumbfounded that there’s not a lot media protection on-line. Is it as a result of this place has already turn into so mainstream that no introduction is required?

Oh properly, I made a decision to move down there and do a evaluation anyway.

What I attempted at R.Okay. Eating House

I made a decision to go for one thing I’ve by no means ordered earlier than, the R.Okay Prata Special (S$12.33). I used to be requested by the workers if I wished the tsunami possibility, to which I agreed.

“Woah!” My colleague, Rachel and I exclaimed because the dish landed on our desk.

“What a loaded prata this is,” she mentioned. And certainly it was. 2 items of roti prata have been drenched in hen curry, mutton curry, dalcha, mutton cubes, a couple of chunks of hen tikka, sambal chilli, and a couple of completely spherical soft-boiled eggs.

Just like a tsunami which inflicts its wrath and floods complete cities, my items of prata have been additionally fully suffocated by the quartet of sauces.

At sethlui.com, we love all issues that jiggle. Of course, we needed to religiously comply with our custom and have the luscious yellow yolk bursting from the paper-thin membrane of egg white.

We shined the highlight on the prata by rescuing them from the pool of sauces, and tried our greatest to pack each single ingredient into one large messy spoonful of components. Just take a look at it!

Om nom nom nom… there was a second of silence as I attempted to course of all of the completely different flavours and textures— it was a multi-dimensional expertise!

I may style the completely different nuances of curry coming from the completely different spices utilized in every variation. This was adopted by a robust ikan bilis flavour coming from the sambal, coupled with the creaminess of the egg. Surprisingly, sure elements of the roti prata have been nonetheless good and crispy.

The hen tikka was flavourful whereas the mutton cubes have been good and tender with out the disagreeable gamey style.

We then moved on to certainly one of my favourites, the Fried Maggi with Fried Chicken (S$8.69). It had a pile of stir-fried orangey-red Maggi mee with slices of cabbage, an exquisite sunny side-up resting on high, a dollop of chilli sauce by the facet, and a big piece of fried hen leg.

The hen was well-marinated and I may style the fragrant spices particularly on the pores and skin, which was additionally extraordinarily crispy.

I destroyed the fragile fried egg and ate it along with the noodles. The creamy yolk that flowed down coated every particular person strand, making it further wealthy and scrumptious.

For the ultimate dish, we ordered the Chocolate Prata (S$3.27). This was an impromptu resolution as the whole lot Rachel and I wished for dessert wasn’t obtainable that day— what a bummer!

As I pried open the prata, the gooey chocolate sauce oozed out. The outer dough was good and crispy, which went hand-in-hand with the candy runny chocolate filling.

We have been served a small dish of curry along with the Chocolate Prata, and that obtained us placing on our pondering cap.

“Would dessert taste weird with curry?”

“Would we regret trying it?”

All these questions began operating via our minds.

I mustered up the braveness and simply went for it, breaking the sacred rule that solely savoury prata goes along with curry. And I’m glad I did… the mix was slay!

The sweetness of the chocolate oddly matched properly with the spiced curry. Who would have identified?

Final ideas

Dining at R.Okay. Eating House was a rewarding expertise. I managed to relive the satisfaction of getting my normal favorite dish, tried a mind-blowing new dish, and found a brand new love of pairing chocolate and curry collectively.

Moving ahead, I’ll be introducing this new-found mixture to my household and pals. Exciting!
