When prata stall don't have any prata to sell

One of my favorite breakfast spot is the Banquet food court at Harbourfront centre. In order to fulfill my destiny of growing fat and die, I will often go for the roti prata stall to get my morning fix. It's not cheap, as the plain prata goes for $0.90 and egg prata for $1.80. Well I guess even at that kind of pricing, Banquet can't be bothered to make sure that they have prata to sell me.

Me : 1 egg 1 kor-song !
Indian guy : *Shaking head in response*
Me : Eh 1 egg 1 kor-song !
Indian guy : *Waves hand*
Me : Huh ? (looks around and found no prata dough around)
Indian guy : Teh Tarik ?
Me : *Walks off*

Well I guess the hike in food prices caused a massive increase in flour prices, resulting in the fact that $0.90 cannot buy me a plain prata anymore.

Their business course are quite solid from the feedback from my friends. The IT course is a case of rough love but manageable. I got no idea how well do they fair for hospitality courses though.

If it's not a new course, it will be good to talk to the existing students in the course.
