Breakfast: Singapore style

This blog opens its post by declaring that "Breakfast in Singapore is something of a fluid concept: if a hawker or eating house is serving it in the morning, there's no reason it can't be breakfast". So we ended up back where we had dinner last night, but at the partner stand serving Indian-derived dough-with-stuff cooked into it while you watch.
Ky's banana prata with strawberry
Ky chose a banana strawberry prata. Prata is the soft dough, a bit like roti or paratha; there was a sliced banana baked into it, and strawberry topping squirted over it. Jos chose a cheese and onion prata - same dough, but this time with chopped onion and cheese inside into it. It came with a yummy curry sauce, which Jos managed to spill over the table and himself. (Ooops)

JD had a beef murtabak, which was a bit like keema naan, but beef instead of mutton. The curry sauce with his was a bit darker and spicier. The stuffing also had potato and other yumminess.

And I had a special thosai, which seemed to be a local variant of a masala dosa with egg. The dosa was thicker and doughier than the crisp, thin dosa we had in India, but it was still very yummy, and the curry sauce was excellent.

I think we'll try the kaya toast and variants tomorrow.
