October 14, 2008 - Culture foods

Different culture food are brought in by early settlers.

Here comes the little quiz of the month about Singapore
Question: Which is the culture food in this photo?

Pick a, b or c and submit in the comments box. The right answer will be shown tomorrow on 15 October:
(a) Paratha
A paratha is a flatbread that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is made with whole-wheat flour, pan fried in ghee or cooking oil, and sometimes stuffed with vegetables, such as boiled potatoes, radishes or cauliflower and/or paneer (Indian cheese).

(b) Roti Canai
Roti canai is a type of flatbread found in Malaysia, often sold in Mamak stalls. It is identical to the Singaporean roti prata and a close descendant of Kerala porotta.

(c) Roti Prata
Roti prata is the Singaporean evolution of the Indian paratha, a pancake made of dough composed of fat, egg, flour and water. Roti means bread in Hindi, Urdu, most other North Indian languages and Malay, while Prata means flat. It is traditionally served with curry or, more rarely, with sugar or condensed milk. In addition, although consumed at any time of the day by some locals, the vast majority tend to consume it as a late night or early morning dish, particularly at 24-hour outlets.
