Why Roti Prata deserves more attention

Roti Prata rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The richly coconut-sweet complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using lemongrass correctly takes real skill.

Singapore's hawker culture was inscribed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020. I encountered it first in a laksa restaurant and that context helped me understand it properly. Tiger beer is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Roti Prata is the dish to start with.
