Good prata

On the topic of prata, was with my wife at Jalan Kayu the other night for a late dinner. Yes, this would be the stretch with the shop that I felt used to serve good prata, but the standards have dropped.

We came by this new shop, Chan Mali Chan, and I thought it deserves some mention. We were served by Chef Ishak, who studied in Switzerland and learnt his trade from a Swiss who spent a lot of time in Malaysia. Talk about roundabout international cuisine...


But what struck us most was he service and the REALLY CRISPY PRATA! Chef Ishak took the time to introduce himself and make recomendations to his menu. The tissue prata and prata bomb we ordered was, of course, lip smacking. It might have to do with the thin crowd at that late an hour, or that his shop is new with few customers, but I felt it was a good night of food for us. Definitely worth the recommend! N
