Sin Ming Roti Prata

it was a choice between the prata @ defu lane and sin ming. we chose to go sin ming instead.

finding a parking lot was not easy. took us about 15mins circling around just to get a lot up on the second level of the carpark next to the coffeeshop.

according to FC, the chicken rice sold at the coffeeshop is also good. we did not try it though. another time maybe.

we ordered 3 eggonions ($1.60 each), 3kosong ($0.80 each).
each piece of prata is reasonably big. first impressions certainly made us happy.

the prata is light and crispy, yet not too oily. PLUS point!
ha.. but the gravy was a little too spicy for me. geez. my nose started 'leaking' whilst taking the gravy.
despite the spiciness, i quite like the unique taste of it. it is very much thicker than most other gravy you get elsewhere. AT suspects there tomato puree or sauce was added as part of the gravy's ingredients.

the crowd started coming slightly after 12nn.
other than prata, you can also choose to have vegetarian, mixed rice, chicken rice, wanton mee....

a hidden food gem in sin ming.
good food @ good prices.

NOTE!! this stall will be CLOSED from 17 June 09 to 7 July 09.

I live in bishan and have tried almost all the prata shops around the area - this is still my favourite. The pratas are hot and fluffy, the gravy is thick and flavourful, the mutton curry is SHIOK and the price is good.

2 egg + 1 plain = $3
1 egg + 1 bomb = $2.70

Where to find such prices??? The only problem is the queue on weekends.

I find that there's always a lull in "sweet spot" at around 9.15 - 9.30 am on sunday mornings when there will be hardly anyone. That's the best time to get your prata! :)

Service is quick and pretty good - don't have to collect your order, will deliver to the table.

The coffeeshop is at the END of the block, next to the playground/covered carpark.

Having heard so much about this stall, how can I not give it a try since I had the opportunity to lunch here. Was undecided at the choices of pratas and ended up having the mutton murtabak ($4.50). My colleague had a banana prata ($1.50) instead which she loved it.

The mutton murtabak was huge, somewhat like A4 size. Dough was real thin and pan-fried to slight crisp. The surface and edges had that nice brown crisp. Filling was generous with LOADS of minced mutton and chopped onions. It was really yummy! The curry provided was a bit little though.

I noted other options like almond prata, kishmis prata, honey prata, strawberry prata and garlic prata. I would love to try the garlic and honey pratas next time. :P

They too sell briyani and curries options for people who don't want to eat pratas or murtabaks.
