Soon the Chinese community in Singapore will be celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival. What is a festival without festive foods!! One thing that my friends look forward to on this joyous occasion is the mooncake. A round, flower-like pastry packed with either lotus seed paste or red bean paste with either single or double salted egg yolk. Mmmm...In the "Words of The Day" segment we will learn how to say "Nice to meet you" in Swedish. Oh, do take note of the celebrations in Sweden this week! 

This week Fikadrottning caught up with Farisah and Ashley, two ladies who love their prata. Prata is a South Indian pancake which can be eaten with curry or just sugar. Its origin is quite interesting as there are a few versions. No matter where prata originated from, it is a quick, delicious meal for any time of the day. It is interesting that the spelling of this dish is the same as the spelling of a word in Swedish, (att) prata which means "to speak". If you're thinking of getting some prata, here is a link to Sprigleaf Prata: https://spplace.com/

There is one common ingredient in these delicious snacks is the rice flour. They are prepared and cooked in almost similar method but they taste differently from each other. These are some of the dessert that Singaporean have when they fika. I think I need to lie down now from all the putu piring, putu bambu, putu mayam and kueh tutu that I had while making this episode.
