The Roti Prata I grew up eating — memory as a review

I grew up eating Roti Prata and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the richly coconut-sweet was right, pandan leaves was handled the way it should be.

Singapore's hawker culture was inscribed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020. Growing up it was always a kopitiam coffee shop, which shaped my reference point entirely. fresh coconut water alongside it is the only way it makes sense to me. It's hard to be objective about food you have emotional history with, but objectively: this is very good.
