Crispy Roti Prata

From Crispy Roti Prata
Egg prata x onion prata
Both pratas were served hot and fresh, and the portion sizes were generous.
The prices were also very reasonable.

This place is famous for its cheap and good crispy prata draped in croissant-like flakiness. The prata is buttery, not too oily, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. You know their prata is crispy when it’s crackling while using utensils to tear it apart. Each order is accompanied by tangy fish curry and sugar sprinkles if you request them. This has got to be one of the better prata stalls out there so be prepared to wait as the queue can get quite long on weekends.

Onion Prata 》$1.20

Recently, my parents and I have been exploring the Ubi/Eunos area during lunch time and we came across this prata place called Crispy Roti Prata at Avenue 1. We got a plain prata, egg prata, and a mutton murtabak. It’s not bad but it’s not really the type of prata I was looking for.

Beneath the flaky crispy outer layer is a soft, almost doughy layer. (Although it was less doughy after cooling down and much more palatable.) I personally did not enjoy the texture because I love chewy pratas, and this was anything but it. However, it’s quite similar to the texture of Springleaf prata, so other people could possibly like it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Between the dishes, I preferred plain prata over their egg prata. You could taste the contrasting textures better with the plain one compared to the egg one, which tasted almost like a pancake because of the thick layer of egg inside. Their murtabak is full of ingredients, but unfortunately also has that spongy steamed egg texture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Overall, the prata was okay and also cheap for what you get (80c for a plain prata), but it’s just not my preferred type of prata. If you like that type of prata, it’s worth checking out. However, do note that the curry was slightly watery and not very spicy or flavourful.

Visited on Monday (closed), tried visiting on Thursday (unexpectedly closed), visited on Friday and finally open! It's not oily and really crispy. Curry was good too. Recommended!

I totally agree with their name, it was so crispy and good. Mix well with their curry gravy.

Living up to their name, it’s crispy and I love onion prata! Let me just say, they are not stingy with the onion ☺️ The curry sauce is sooo good.

Hidden gem! But sometimes the wait could be up to an hour, though I feel it’s totally worth it. 😌
