Best Places To Settle Your Prata Cravings In Singapore

Singapore’s version of a pancake breakfast is crispier, oilier, and best served hot and fresh. This dish can be served for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. There are various ways to enjoy this local favourite, whether with a side of curry or some sugar.

With so much local food available, it’s easy to overlook the humble roti prata. In this list we are going to share you the best places to get this crispy treat in Singapore.

Al Azhar

This coffee shop is always busy on any given night as it’s open 24 hours a day (before Covid-19), making it a popular stop for supper and post clubbing grub. Happy and hungry patrons dig into traditional local fare before washing all the spice down with a Milo Dinosaur ($3.30) or Teh Cino ($3.30). The plain prata ($1.10) here is a little more doughy then other which is great for soaking in the free curry. If you would like something fancier, we recommend going for their luscious butter chicken ($7) which is not too spicy as well.

Location: 11 Cheong Chin Nam Rd, Singapore 599736

Opening Hours: 8.00am – 1.00am (Mon – Fri)

Rahmath Cheese Prata

Long lines are to be expected here, but that’s not a problem for this store with the amount of patience and devotion customers give them while waiting for some great food. Since everything is prepared fresh when you purchase it, it may take a while.

Despite the store’s name, their egg prata ($1.50) is the true star here being made with house made dough, fresh eggs and a whole lot of love. If you just had eggs for breakfast, then go for the cheese prata ($2) made with thick slices of cheese guaranteeing the perfect cheese stretch for your Instagram stories.

Location: #01-08, 74 Lor 4 Toa Payoh, Singapore 310074

Opening Hours: 6.00am – 2.30pm (Tue – Sun)

This little shop, is only open 6 days a week and, despite this, tends to sell out quickly, so you may have to wait a few days before you have a chance to taste it. It explains it all in the name, and you can expect the crispiest of pratas here.

On the exterior, the plain pratas ($1) are very crispy, but on the inside, they’re considerably fluffy. The prata’s crispiness might not sound like a good reason to travel all the way there, but that’s one of the reasons why people keep coming back to this Joo Chiat treasure.

Location: 300 Joo Chiat Rd, Singapore 427551

Opening Hours: 6.30am – 1.00pm (Thu – Tue)

The Roti Prata House

Fill your tummies at The Roti Prata House, another iconic long-running business in Singapore, with some prata and teh tarik. There are more than 80 other types of prata to select from, including milo ($4.50), durian($6), and even a bomb cheese kaya prata ($6.50) but we recommend sticking to the coin prata set if it’s your first time ($7), because you can spend hours looking at the menu but still be at lost due to the overwhelming options.

Location: 246 Upper Thomson Rd, Singapore 574370

Opening Hours: 7.30am – 2.00am (Sun – Thu) | 7.30am – 4.00am (Fri – Sat)

Springleaf Prata Place

It is perhaps the finest spot on the list for the most unusual prata creations, but sometimes the bizarre concoctions are so good that they become staples people pick. With all the items on the menu, go for their giant Murtaburger ($7.90), which is a prata filled with a burger patty and plenty of cheese. The Prata Blaster ($5) is a crispy prata version of eggs benedict, and the Umami 50 ($8.90), an egg prata with luncheon meat, cheese, chicken floss, and mayo. But, make sure to bring a buddy with you because their pratas are sinfully good, huge and are sure to fill you up.

Opening Hours: 8.00am – 10.00pm/12.00am (Mon – Sun)

With a desire that can only be satisfied by crispy or doughy flour coated in curry, grab a friend or two and head down for a delicious meal any time of day or even late at night.
