And today is a very special day, its the 5th month anniv of me and steph. Oh man, its been pretty long, hahah..guess time really flies. And to 'commemorate' this special day, he gave me a surprise and was so secretive about it..hah..And the destination was- tree top walk at upper pierce,where we went on a nature trail, yet again. Second time for this week. And it was a 10km walk, uphill and downhill, through dirt trails and rocky grounds, mind you. Thus I am too tired to blog properly today. Shall just post lots of pictures..hahah.. But just to describe a little. The experience was surreal. Hey, I didnt even know Singapore has such a nice nature reserve, such nice greeneries, its way better than Bukit timah hill. And when we reached the top, we got to walk through on this suspension bridge,25m from the ground and the scenery was simply breadthtaking. I just love breathing in the fresh air..
After the 10km walk, we felt very justified in treating our tummies to a hearty meal and went to The Roti Prata house at upper thomson road, which is recommended by the New paper, and proclaimed to have the best crispy prata. I must admit, it was really really good. I ordered a paper prata and a cheese and mushroom prata(as usual). The paper prata came first and I forgot all about taking pictures..hahah..luckily I had a photographer with me =) It was one of the best prata I have ever eaten. Extremely thin and crispy, fried to a nice shade of golden brown and drizzled generously with honey. See the dent..hahah..I was already attacking it. And the puddle of honey..mmm...yummy

Next up was cheese prata.

The dough was thicker than what I was used to. And like the paper prata, it was fried to a golden crisp, something that I have yet to see in other pratas, even good ones that I have tried before.

The soft melted cheese and the generous serving of mushrooms made it even nicer. It was really bliss to eat it and not care about the amount of calories it contains,which we should because the reason why it is so crispy is because of the sheer amount of ghee(i think) that they use, certainly not recommended for people on diet. Steph orderd the chicken nasi briyani which I cant describe much cos I wasnt the one eating it. But the meat was pretty tough according to him, but the rice and curry was good though.
One thing that I didnt like was the teh tarik, which wasnt frothy to begin with and didnt have much of a kick. But on the hold, it was a very pleasant dining experience and we took a lot of pictures, even one of the person flipping the dough,which was a request by the owner of the shop,probably hoping to gain some publicity...hah

Yup, so I had the pleasure of seeing him make the prata, and also see how much oil it contains. Oh well, life is for enjoying and not worrying. Hahh, my motto, live to eat and not eat to live. =)
