Malaysian Boy’s Prata-Spinning Performance Ends Up With Dough Landing On Toddler’s Head
Those who have been to Haidilao will no doubt be familiar with its noodle dance, which has occasionally ended in disaster.
In Malaysia, some eateries have put their own spin on it — no pun intended — by performing with roti prata instead.
For one young performer-in-training, his show went viral unexpectedly when the prata landed on a toddler’s head.

This led the startled baby burst into tears, following which the boy sheepishly apologised and comforted him.
Boy unable to catch prata in time before it landed on toddler’s head
The humorous incident was shared earlier this month on TikTok by the eatery the boy works at.
@abgmadroticanai Kan dah kena..di tiup angin,balingan tidak menentu hala tuju..berdebar hati adik terbang bila buat show roti canai terbang di pukul angin boleh tersasar arah.. #Bolehtaqatu #ADIKTERBANG #fypã‚·ã‚šviral ♬ bunyi asal – Adik terbang
At the beginning, the boy appeared to demonstrate impressive control of the dough as he spun it around in the air.
However, at one point, the prata spun out of control — pun fully intended — and landed on the head of a toddler sitting nearby.
The boy was apparently stunned for a few seconds as he tried to process what had happened.
He then turned around and smiled sheepishly at someone off-camera before it panned to the baby’s family laughing raucously.

Subsequently, the boy gently lifted the dough off the toddler, who had burst into tears.

The boy also bowed his head at his customers in apology, displaying grace beyond his years.
Finally, he rubbed the toddler’s back soothingly and showed him the scrunched-up dough to prove it was not scary.

A son that his parents can be ‘prata’ of
Between his flair for performance and mature character, it’s safe to say that the boy’s parents must be ‘prata’ him.
As for the baby, we’re glad he is okay and that his family was able to take it in stride.
Perhaps one day, it will be a funny story for him to look back on when he is older.
