Mr and Mrs Mohgan's Super Crispy Roti Prata - The Beautiful Prata

A prata is a prata is a prata. A simple dish, but really, very hard to master and get it perfectly done. I have had a few pratas in my lifetime, and even the best like Sin Ming Prata has dipped somewhat in standards in recent times.

Lin Si Tong 林思彤 - Singapore's New Generation of Singers/Songwriters

Looking sunny and chirpy, Lin Si Tong looks ready to dig into the food that is in front of her. She has been talking about her journey into the music industry and it has not been an altogether simple nor straightforward one.
