I'm originally from Singapore and I've always though of roti canai and roti prata to be equivalent. They taste similar enough to me that I can't tell the difference (if there was one anyway).

Just as a FYI they have now moved to their much larger premises at 850 Renfrew St. It's easy to miss, try to look out for a hydroponics supply store.

T&T has the brick type too for under $2.

Orchid Delight should opening somewhere else, I'll post back when I hear more. I'd agree that Kedah House is not representative of all the food Singapore has to offer. As kontemporary mentioned, it is halal and there is no Chinese influence. However, I'd say that food across both borders are largely similar, even the Chinese food. Obviously each region has it's own peculiarities, but if you put me through a blind taste test I would be hard pressed to tell the difference (the Malaysian one would probably be better to be honest ) Make sure you try good Hainanese chicken rice!

I've been to Kedah House once over a year ago and I thought it was pretty decent. Overall I'd have to say it is around 60-70% of what the real thing is. It's good for Vancouver standards, but nowhere close to the real thing. I grew up and spent 21 years in Singapore before coming here so I'll try to compare whatever I can. The chicken satay was big, tender and very tasty. I thought it was very similar to the real thing. I'd definitely order that again. The mee rebus was quite good too, too spicy for my gf but it's probably comparable to the spice you will get in SE Asia (if not worse). I also had some briyani (I forget what meat came with it). The rice was pretty authentic, but a bit on the dry side. BTW Penang laksa (also known as assam laksa) is not coconut based. It's actually tamarind based thus being sour and not milky in consistency at all, almost like a variation of tom yam soup. Be sure to ask around for Katong laksa when you are in Singapore. Although the noodles are served in a bowl, they don't provide chopsticks so you are forced to slurp up all the gravy, quite delicious! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

There is a Jang Mo Jib on Alexandra Rd in Richmond too. It's right across from McKim's if you know where that is. There might be one more opening in Aberdeen Center. The sign has been up in the food court for months now but the wheels don't seem to be turning.

I'm not too sure as I don't really like kueh... but I do remember seeing a wide selection when i last went there (over a year ago). The food court is utterly hopeless though, you'll understand when you get there. It's on the second floor BTW.

It's a little store in the food court of Pacific Plaza mall. It's right at Cambie and Garden City, you enter from along Cambie. The owners are from Indonesia and they do have a fair selection of kuehs. HTH!
