Grocery Ninja: Crisp, Golden, Buttery Roti Prata—the Asian Croissant

I am living in Singapore right now and all I can say is, when I move away (someday) I don't know what I am going to do without my weekly fix of Roti Prata.

It's nice to see the frozen prata are making their way into North America but really, they are a pale comparison to my locally made prata and curry gravy.

A Visit to London's Borough Market

Every time I visit London, I visit Borough Market!

The last time I was in town I stayed at a friend's apartment a few blocks away... I was there everyday to shop for food. I especially loved Neil's Yard Dairy... an exceptionally good cheese shop.

Photo of the Day: A True Ice Cream Sandwich

These are quite common in Singapore. Most street vendors selling ice cream offer either bread or a wafer with a slab of ice cream. I don't think I've seen an ice cream cone from a street vendor.

As for the colours... they were odd to me at first as well but what they are is colour. It make it look sweet even if it isn't.

The key though, is that it actually tastes great. The bread just merges nicely with the sweetness of the ice cream.

It should also be noted that besides the traditional chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavours there is also durian, taro, corn and red bean.
