[Halal] As part of the annual Ultimate Hawkerfest, Springleaf Prata Place introduces a new dish to its menu. Notable predecessors include Salted Egg Prawn prata and Plaster Blaster and Murtaburger. In the case of 2017, they've concocted the Prata Alfredo ($10.90, set). As enticing (or weird if you will) as it sounds, how does it fare?

Pretty alright, but with one major flaw - the sauce was way too oniony. Even if it eventually settled in on my palette, the unpleasant taste lingered. Ah well. I do love the incorporation of the chunky diced rosemary chicken though and maybe low-key liked the chili sauce in there, even though it sounds offbeat in principle.

This comes in a set actually, accompanied with a tall cup of lime juice. You may find that it helps to cut the flavours that rub you off the wrong way, although it'll make you squirm from its immense sourness.

I don't hate it, but I do think it deserves props for the innovative fusion of alfredo and roti prata. Whether you see it as merely a hype machine or as the epitome of creative food crafting, you can't deny that Springleaf has been at the forefront when it comes to introducing unorthodox, yet decent pratas to the local pro-prata crowd.
