Super Size Me.... Not!

After a hard day's work, nothing beats having an awesome dinner at The Prata Place along Upper Thomson Road. Not the healthiest of options I admit, but hey... we were starving our guts out and who cares right? Among the 3 of us, we each had a cheese and mushroom prata and shared a kickass artery clogging rich bowl of kambeng soup, masala thosai and to top it all off, nothing better than a nice cold cup of ice milk tea!

My colleague actually wanted to top it up with one more banana prata for dessert... but we just had to stop as it was becoming too sinful for the body! That's it, tomorrow is burn the fats and calories day! The Prata Place I reckon serves up quite a mean menu of prata along with all other kinds of indian snacks. Their curries that accompany the dishes are really yummy too... the kind I love - hot and thick with a dash of spiciness to it. Service is pretty efficient considering the number of customers patronising the eatery. Of coz, prices are fairly reasonable considering the portions they serve up.

Speaking of which, you know the movie that came up a few years back called 'Super Size Me'? The one where they decided to make a documetry film on the consequences and effects of this guy eating McDonalds for all his meals for an entire month! Ya...crazy right! Like, duh, I don't think anyone needs to tourture themselves doing that when you jolly well know what the outcome of it will be!

Anyway, my collegues and I were just thinking.... imagine someone making a similar documetry film, just that this time it'll be called - Super Size Me - The Prata Edition! The person would have to follow the same concepts applied in the original film:

Revamped rules for 'Super Size me - The Prata Edition' :
  1. Person must fully eat three Prata Place meals per day (this means he must force himself to eat even when he starts getting full)
  2. He must sample every item on the Prata Place menu at least once over the course of the 30 days
  3. He must only ingest items on the menu. This includes bottled water. Any and all outside consumption of food is prohibited.
  4. He must ''Super Size" his meal whenever, and only when, the option is offered to him. (In this case, so long as the prata man ask if he wants to add an egg or whatever else to the prata or to order a larger portion or recommend a new item on the menu, he needs to say yes! )

Imagine this scenario:

Guy: Can I have 2 cheese prata and one ice milo.

Prata man: Sir, you want to add egg to your prata? Drink make to Milo Dinosaur? Yes? Good! Want to try of new chocolate prata, it's very nice!

Guy: Errrr, ok (no choice right?)

Prata man: Oh very good Sir!

Can you imagine having this for one entire month! All the ghee, curry and oil and cholesterol rich kambeng (mutton) soup! AHhhhh, I think the guy will die of a heart attack god knows how soon! ( i don't even want to know man!). Haha, imagine someone having to eat a Mega-Murtabak! The thought of it is just hilarious!
