West Coast Mee Goreng & Rojak

It was one of those pre-​9am weekend mornings — abnormally early to be out of bed due to circumstances and as such, I was looking out for breakfast food. Decided to go suss out some prata. Crispy, fluffy, artery clogging goodness on a plate; heck, it’d be just the antidote for an early weekend morn. Enter West Coast, a nondescript stall a couple of units down from the famous Inspirasi. It looked like they only dished up prata, with a burly dude manning the griddle, diligently building up stacks of plain and egg prata. We had two plain, one egg and one onion. Tip: ask for onion or any other alternative to ensure that you’ll have at least one prata made to order — the plain and egg versions have usually been pre made and get cold and soggy with time.
Taste test: surprisingly, the prepared plain and onions were warm and still retained a bit of crisp. The onion prata was hot and crispy, of the chewy, rather than the fluffy variety. Usually pratas come with thin, tasteless vegetable or fish curry sans ingredients, but these babies were served up with spicy dhal. The viscous, lumpy consistency went very well with the prata and was quickly slurped up — so much so that we had to request for a second bowl.
Verdict wise, it’s much better than I’d expected. My only complain is that the items came in styrofoam plates and bowls, and plastic cutlery. Needless to say, the utensils broke and the receptacles threatened to become airborne once we were done with our meal. The onion prata, having been served straight off the griddle, deflated the styrofoam plate a little as well. Proper eating utensils would be appreciated here.
