gina's vadai

i chanced upon gina's vadai when she had a stall at a coffee shop in geylang east, near victoria school before it moved to its present site. then it had the name born again gina's vadai. she sold mainly prawn vadais. there were none of the new additions like vegetable vadai, cheese vadai and ikan bilis vadai.

i used to buy back for my former colleagues at monk's hill secondary school. they rated the vadai as very good, especially when the vadais are still hot. better, if they are piping hot.

when she shifted to simpang bedok i really missed her vadai but i did not try to locate the stall/shop as it was way out in the east. then i came upon her webpage. so, one day i set out looking for the stall in bedok. i called the number. luckily, i called. that's when i found out that she had relocated to east coast road.

her present location is 218 east coast road, near the holy family church on chapel road. the price for 3 pieces of prawn vadai is $2 and the cheese vadai costs $1.50 a piece.

ate two prawn vadais. seem to have suffered some drop in quality, not as tasty as they used to be. but, still better than others. i was told that gordon's at siglap market is better but i have not tried the vadai at gordon's.

(have tried gordon's. i still prefer gina's. gordon prices his prawn vadais at 70 cents a piece or $2 for 3 pieces.)
