Prata Lahhh! (Changi Village)

All the talk about Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema recently from An-Nur Shenton Way Famous had sort of reminded us of yet another stall in Singapore that is known to serve up dishes of such a nature. It is pretty much by coincidence that we recalled the fact just when Prata Lahhh! had opened their second outlet — this time within a newly-renovated food court named SG FOODCOURT located at Blk 5 Changi Village Road. Unlike their Kovan outlet, SG FOODCOURT is an food court that seems to be catered to the Muslim community — the stalls in the food court, which comprises of stalls serving up Prata, Rice, Barbecue, Chicken Rice, Western fare, Nasi Lemak and Kampung (seemingly a zichar stall), all do not serve up dishes with pork or lard here based on our observations. Much like what Prata Lahhh! at Kovan was eventually made into after their initial days of opening, Prata Lahhh! is all about serving their Prata with a twist; they have pretty much allowed patrons to DIY their own Prata where one can pick and choose from a fixed list of ingredients to add to their Prata to their own desires. Aside from DIY Prata, there are also a list of “Chef’s Innovations” — their very own interpretations of modernised Prata much in the way that Springleaf Prata Place and Casuarina Curry do carry on their menu. That aside, Prata Lahhh! Seems to serve up a wider variety of dishes at SG FOODCOURT at Changi Village, with the menu also consisting of categories such as Thosai, Appam (minimum order 2 pieces), Curry Fish Head, Briyani, Sides, Goreng, North Indian, White Rice Set and Dessert.

We had mentioned wanting to give the Bull’s Eye a try some other time after making our very first visit to Prata Lahhh! at Kovan previously — our order back then was the Egg’s Benedict which is being listed in the Chef’s Innovation section of the menu; itself being their very own iteration of a fusion of the Western Eggs Benedict with Roti Prata. It is noted that the Bull’s Eye (which also can be found in the Chef’s Innovation section of the menu) is pretty much their rendition of the Roti Sarang Burung — we actually quite liked the fact that the Mutton Keema is an optional add-on which is listed in the DIY Prata section. Price-wise, the Bull’s Eye with Mutton Keema would have cost the same as the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema that we have had at An-Nur Shenton Way Famous — the Bull’s Eye being priced at $4.50 and the Mutton Keema being priced at $2.

One significant different between the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema from An-Nur Shenton Way Famous and the Bull’s Eye at Prata Lahhh! is how thick the Roti Prata is by itself — we actually preferred the thinness of the Prata that came with the Bull’s Eye at Prata Lahhh!; made for a more crisp texture whilst also being pretty manageable to eat (the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema from An-Nur Shenton Way Famous verges on being quite filling). Prata Lahhh! does also seem to crack fresh black pepper atop their Bull’s Eye for a flavour contrast; the egg yolk was done on-point being all runny and molten as we poked it with our fork. The egg white itself was also part jiggly within, while the edges are crisp without being greasy — the sunny side-up also was void from any undesirable notes over-used oil. Since the Bull’s Eye does not come with any form of meat on its own by default, the curry which accompanied our order was a fish curry — really liked how flavoursome and tangy their curry was with a good hint of curry spices without being watered down; went with the Bull’s Eye pretty well. The Bull’s Eye is also available at their Kovan location as well — just a head’s up for those who find Changi Village a little too far to give something like that a go!
