Al-Hussain Restaurant (Tampines)

BILL: $5.80

Bomb prata $3.00 - crispy edges, pretty large, very buttery, but not sweet enough

Egg prata $1.50 - not crispy, not something we would order again

Teh o bing $1.30

WILL WE RETURN? Yes, gonna try the $4 maggi goreng and $3.50 coin prata next!

The mee goreng, great for after midnight party, they open 24/7. Average all the food here is quite good, I tried prata, thosai and Indian rojak as well.

Dude they were not joking when I requested for "extra spicy"......... like legit, every mouthful I had, had at least two piece of chopped kampung chili padi in it.

Anyway I opted for the plain version, without any meat (chicken/beef) as I wanted to have a taste of the original version beforehand and I must say, I'm pretty impressed. Served with chopped cabbage, peas, green chilies and a piece of cucumber with tomato sauce on top. Definitely one of the better maggi goreng that I've had thus far 👍🏻

Price: $4 (plain) / $6 (with chicken or beef)

Definitely one of my fav place in Tampines (other than Rajarani Thosai at Tampines Round Market) to get my masala thosai fix! This Indian shop has been around for ages, previously they were known as "Prate Paradise" but they recently revamped and expanded their menu to Thai and Malay food but I'm glad their Indian food still taste like how I remembered it.

Portion is pretty huge, it's slightly crispier at the edges and they were generous with their masala potatoes fillings too. Neither too spicy nor too starchy. And I love their chutneys especially the cream-white coconut one! I even shamelessly asked for a refill cos it was too good. You can taste the freshness of the coconut pulp ground and the tamarind in every mouthful. And if you're not a fan of masala, don't worry cos they have a pretty wide variety of thosai like plan, paper, onion, butter, egg and etc.

Price: $3

Haven't been back for awhile and the Prata shop has changed hands, and menu has expanded to include thai food, glad the prata is still pretty good to satisfy late night cravings. Business is good enough for the pratas to be freshly made, at least while we were there. Coin prata was so buttery and crisp, makes for a great sinful supper. I'm used to having coin pratas that are sweet but this wasn't, so a dash of sugar helps. ($3 by itself, $6 with a side of mutton/ chicken curry).
