Review
Our brains froze, literally. The ice- cream Prata… was just fine. It came rolled up with ice-cream in it and cream on top of it. It looked absolutely delicious and appetizing. The ice – cream tasted very good, along with the Prata that tasted better than any Prata we have ever tasted in our lives. The Prata was a bit thick and not oily. It went along very well with the ice- cream in it and it would be satisfactory to all who eat it. We enjoyed the ice –cream Prata the most. We recommend this to food lovers and even those who ‘claim’ that they hate food. I assure you anyone and everyone would love this dish. It is amazing to that extent and I do not lie.
