Egg prata has been elevated with just a few words by one Twitter user, who gave his plate a cafe-worthy upgrade with keywords like ‘handcrafted’ and ‘artisanal’. Sure makes it sound expensive — with that description, you could probably sell this in a swanky cafe for, what, $15?

And that, in turn, inspired other Twitter users to describe their ‘atas’ meals.
@frhn Just had handcrafted coconut milk-infused rice w crispy marinated chicken wing, pan-fried farm egg, gourmet potato cake & anchovies.

Ahem, that’s nasi lemak for those of you who didn’t get it.
@frhn organic onions grown in remote valleys, harvested at the crack of dawn by those pure of heart and mind

Funny stuff.
For more tongue-in-cheek reviews of ‘artisanal’ places, check out our Le Cheap Gourmand series on Ananas Cafe, McDonald’s and Geylang Serai’s Ramadan Bazaar. We promise you won’t be able to get through them without laughing.
