The Prata man can.

So, my prata empire adventures have been solidly worked on with tonnes of actual legwork/research. By scouring the lands for the cheapest and best pratas, I have found the best prata available in the Clayton precinct (I loathe to use this term, my colleagues from Sonic Arts in RP can testify to this), and it's darn cheap, and pretty decent.




Only $1.50 for a plain and $2.00 for an egg prata. Add a $2.00 chicken curry with drumstick, I had a pretty good deal. By far the cheapest, on average, pratas in this precinct (ahem) hover around $4. In the city, they go up to $8. And best of all, there was an actual authentic prata flipper, behind a glass shield. And there is option for murtabak. Run by a Singaporean family that migrated to Australia 9 years ago, I was glad to make my first prata flipper aquaintance - Uncle Latiff and family.

Japanese dinner

Thing about Melbourne is, most Japanese diners are inconceivably run by Chinese. So I was skeptical when I walked past this joint (in Clayton town) on a number of occassions. "Jyu Jyu" it's called, and the signboard says they're famed for their sushi rolls. With my new found buddy from Sichuan, Ryan in tow, we bravely ventured in. But that's only because the nearby Malaysia Garden restuarant was closed (they close Mondays). And lo and behold - Authentic Japanese matronly chef and wait staff. And, with a kitchen that took up more than half of the floorspace, they had to be serious about the food.






I evidentally enjoyed my dinner very much - they took 20minutes to prepare my bento set consisting gyoza and teriyaki chicken which was massively tender. And it cost all of $7 flat. Not too shabby. Will definitely return. After all, it's "my favourite Japanese restaurant" as their banner suggests.
