Al Falah Barakah Restaurant Pte Ltd (Joo Chiat)

Sitting quietly at the corner of Joo Chiat Road and Duku Road is an unassuming coffeeshop devoted to South Indian fare such as prata and nasi biryani. I tried the latter today and found it to be quite a lot better than most. The rice was light and very aromatic (it had plenty of fried shallots) while the chicken masala I chose tasted superb. My pick of the thigh meat portion was practically fall-off-the-bones tender and it had the spices deeply infused into it. I enjoyed the masala gravy for its thickness, fragrance and well-seasoned flavour.

The plaster was crispy on the outside and the egg was cooked to perfection with runny yolk and soft white.Teh ‘gau’ was served piping hot and not overly sweet the way i like it.All for $2.80

First day of Chinese New Year and this was one of the few places open in the Joo Chiat area. Upon ordering a plain prata and an egg onion prata, I was informed that no plain pratas were available. Baffling, since other types of more expensive prata were still for sale. I don't appreciate this compulsory upselling forced upon me on account of a lack of other dining options in the vicinity during the festive period, especially so if the food is of such poor quality -- doughy prata with no crisp edges and a barely passable curry. pfft.

Taste: 1/5

Perhaps we over ordered.

Deep breath. Ok.... on the table of plenty. Pratas, 2 plain and 1 egg with onions, 1 plain tosai. Indian rojak... potato, battered potato and fish cake. Does it sound alot? My first time trying this place #inmyhood because of its location. Prata not too bad but prefer it slightly more crispy at the edges. I liked the tosai. Very light, crisp all round and had a subtle hint of tangyness. Indian rojak quite ordinary. My choice would be tosai over prata and finish off with teh halia (ginger tea).

So tranquil and felt like we went back to yesteryear. This is our breakfast, lunch and teabreak all in one. No more eating till dinner which by the way, it is going to be homecooked from Kris' Kitchen. Please come back okay?

No geo tag. This kopitiam is located at 365 Joo Chiat Road and is opened 24 hours. I will never go hungry again late at nite because it is a hop skip and jump away.!! #brunch #jiaklocal #kopitiam #oldschool #hungrygowhere #burpple #8dayseat #instafoodsg #instagood #bloggers #photographers #photooftheday #igers #sgig #foodcoma #foodphotography #exploresingapore #singaporeinsiders #eatoutsg #eatmoresg #tagsforlikes #joochiat #tripadvisor
