We start this podcast on Inside Singapore with a 2.30am supper at Jalan Kayu’s Thasevi Prata place. Other commendable Roti Prata places mentioned in the show are: Abang’s Cheese Prata (at Clementi Road, outside NUS), and Casuarina Road (can’t remember the name of the place). Ken and Helen give a sound-seeing tour along Jalan Kayu before reaching the car and introducing the Singapore Zoological Gardens found at Mandai. Take a train to deserted Kranji Station and try to flag a taxi to the zoo. It's the most hassle-free way to getting there. The word "Jalan" means "street" in Malay. Other stuff you heard on the show... Deepavali: "Festival of Lights" celebrated by the Hindus in Singapore Hari Raya Puasa: "Muslim New Year" celebrated by the Muslims which marks the end of their 1-month fast period Kosong Prata: Baked dough (an Indian cuisine taken with sugar or curry) ... DELICIOUS!!! Cheese Prata: Same as above, but with mozarella cheese in it. It's a Singaporean concoction. Teh-Tarik: Milk tea that's stirred and shaken - Indian-style. It's done with 2 cups, and the tea is transferred from cup to cup in mid-air. In itself, a great display of skill. Teh-Peng: Same as above, but with ice.
