"I have been patronising this eatery for its prata since I was a kid with my family as we used to stay around the Upper Thomson area.

Its prata is consistently crispy and does not come across as too dry on the surface. My favourite is the plaster prata—it has a nice buttery fragrance, and a consistent runny yolk when you slice it in half. The curry served with the prata is also thick and flavourful, unlike other places where its curries might be watered down."

"I don’t eat prata often in Singapore, but one day, my friend had sudden cravings for prata and we ended up trying a few places. 

Prata here is very creative, using ingredients that are neither typical nor traditional—maybe that’s why it’s called fusion prata, combining western and Indian breakfast together."

"I like the texture of its prata at Sin Ming Roti Prata Place—super crispy yet not oily. I also really enjoy their curry, especialy its tangy fish curry (it tastes like assam fish head curry)."

"I go to a local place down the road from my house on Rangoon Road, the centre is called Hoe Lye F&B but the stall is simply called Indian Muslim Food.  I found it while walking home from the train station when I first arrived in Singapore in January 2020. 

The dough is almost creamy in texture and they make it right in front of you. I like to watch this—they make it look so easy but it definitely isn’t. There is also a wide array of curries to choose from, but I usually like to have the dry lamb curry. Unlike most people, I don’t like my prata too wet, I like to feel the texture of the different layers of bread. You see a lot of people getting egg prata, but for me, it's plain prata all day, every day!"

“My go-to place for roti prata is Saffrons Restaurant at 201D Tampines Street 21. They make so many different pratas which are always really soft inside but my favourite is their Ghee prata, which is super flavourful and sinful at the same time. Eating prata there is always a unique experience because they serve their curry with a nice dollop of sambal, which gives an extra kick of spice and also adds a different flavour profile.”

Martin Satow, executive chef, Andaz Singapore

“As the executive chef of Andaz Singapore, I'm a fan of innovative and memorable culinary experiences. Casuarina Curry on Casuarina Road, while unassuming in appearance, offers a unique experience with 11 roti prata options with a modern twist. These include a savoury Eggs Benedict version and a dessert named Milky Prata. My personal favourite is the Chicken Floss rendition for its perfect balance of light and fluffy floss with crispy roti texture. I like to dunk mine into the curry and savour it in one mouthful – a truly satisfying treat after a long day at work.”

“I really like the roti prata at a stall named Sabeen Sara Prata and Briyani Stall in Telok Blangah Food Centre. It’s super flakey and crispy, and comes with two different types of curry, which is enough to satisfy my roti canai craving. It reminds me of the roti that I used to eat growing up in Malaysia. I would also order the teh tarik—the taste is a good balance between sweet, milky and tannic which makes a really good contrast to the curries.”

“I would recommend the roti prata at Niqqi’s The Cheese Prata Shop! It’s open 24 hours at 16 Clementi Road.

The roti prata is not greasy and is very crisp on the outside while being soft on the inside. I always order the plain roti prata with onions and pair it with their chicken gravy. The gravy is homemade and very flavourful. Their cheese prata and sweet tissue prata with condensed milk are also must-tries!”
