At the basement of Takashimaya, there is this korean stall selling kimchi and ready-made dishes. However, it also has a frying stand. Some of it includes pancakes that are green, and white, and fishcakes that are purple, and yellow.
The label reads Hot tok, probably hotteok for korean rice pancake. It brackets with Korean Prata (with brown sugar filling.) Looking extraordinary in white or (lime) green colour, they appear genial and gentle enough, in flaccid, flattish cake mounds. However upon order they are tossed and grilled, over the hot stove for minutes till they are tight and browned. So this is how the Prata (of it) comes about?
Hot tok (Korean Prata) (Green Tea) (SGD 1.50)
The one in white glutinous rice (flavour) and this one green tea. Rice; glutinous, making more sense to cuisine of korean backgrounds. Green tea alluding a more enigmatic shade to the already korean, rice, sweet prata.
P.S. The hotteok is sweet, pliable and chewy with a separate maple-brown filling inside. It tastes like a honey maple pancake of rice nature, lodged with pine nuts, one of the more surprising things one has eaten; never to expect it to turn out this way. Besides being green one of its factor.
