Springleaf Prata Place (Potong Pasir)

As for the classics, you can’t go wrong with an onion prata ($2.30 per piece). Although I wish it was stuffed with more onions, I still enjoy Springleaf’s version. The edges are charmingly crispy, while the inner parts are satisfyingly doughy. The diced onions provide a mild sweetness that gets accentuated when you dip it into the curry, and speaking of curry, Springleaf’s curry chicken ($5.80) is quite delicious. It’s pretty heavy on the spices and light on the coconut milk, so it does feel a little scratchy on the throat. The chicken is moist and cooked well, and is the perfect platform to soak up the curry.⠀
⠀
The odd thing here is the orange object, which is Springleaf’s unique Hi-Fibre Plain Prata ($1.70 per). It’s not that much different than a standard prata other than being denser & stodgier, and I’m not too sure how effective it actually is at keeping your pipes flowing free, but it doesn’t hurt to try.⠀

Every year, @springleafprataplace invents a new crazy prata combo. From the famous Murtaburger, to the Plaster Blaster, the Prata Alfredo and now the Praclette ($10.20 nett) from 2021, there’s always a wacky mashup that’s going to raise an eyebrow. The Praclette is a plain prata that has sriracha smeared on it as the sauce base, and a slice of turkey ham alongside sautéed black olives, onions, mushrooms are placed over it. ⠀
⠀
For the finishing touch, a thick layer of molten Swiss raclette cheese buries everything under it, hence the portmanteau Praclette, from the root words ‘prata’ & ‘raclette’. It’s a piece of fried dough with turkey ham, olives, onions and mushrooms under an avalanche of melted cheese, it was always going to be absolutely addictive. It really does taste like a pizza, and you could argue that it fulfils all the criteria to be classed as a pizza.⠀

Thanks for the invite, @springleafprataplace & @thestephaniebenedetti!

There are many prata shops in Singapore but Springleaf holds a special place in our hearts as our go-to for a prata fix after school. When we heard that they had come up with an 𝗢𝗸𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗶 dish, we had to give it a try.
.
In celebration of National Day, Springleaf Prata Place has come up with an 𝗢𝗸𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗶-𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗶 ($𝟳.𝟵𝟬), featuring your classic cabbage, egg, ham, and bonito flakes on a soft and springy Thosai base. While the texture was slightly different, the flavours reminded us of the Okonomiyakis we would get at Japanese restaurants. In addition to thisi, we got a chance to try their signatures such as the 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 ($𝟲.𝟵𝟬) and 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 ($𝟵.𝟱𝟬) which really tickled our minds as we never thought that a fusion of eggs benedict or cheese burger could work so well with prata.

We also ordered their:
𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗮 ($𝟰.𝟱𝟬) (our first time getting this - but we 100% recommend!)
𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝗴𝗴 𝗢𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗮 ($𝟰.𝟲𝟬)
𝗕𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 ($𝟳.𝟳𝟬)
𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗿 ($𝟯.𝟴𝟬)
𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗲 ($𝟯.𝟲𝟬)
.
If you've been curious about what an Okonomiyaki Thosai is like, why not head down to Springleaf and try it for yourself!
Thank you @steph for the warm invite and @springleafprataplace for the amazing and nostalgic food!

It was my first dining experience at Springleaf Prata Place and my first visit to their newly opened outlet at The Venue. I am a dosai lover so I was hoping to enjoy a good quality dosai from Springleaf.

Upon entering the restaurant, the decor and setting was a let down… it doesn’t look inviting and the staff don’t greet me and my friend when we entered the restaurant. The table we chose to sit wasn’t even properly clean.

We ordered 2 dosai with egg and onion, and 2 glasses of teh halia. The Halia in the teh wasn’t strong enough and out of the 2 dosai ordered, only 1 came with egg and onion, the other just egg. My friend was kind enough to accept the wrong order and make do with the dosai without onion.

The ultimate let-down was that the dosai doesn’t come with the basic coconut chutney. When I feedback to the staff, I was told that they may have run out of the chutney. Com’on, you are a Prata and dosai specialty restaurant, how can you run out of the basic coconut chutney at 5pm.

Apart from the many disappointing experience, the one saving grace is the crispness of the dosas. It is cooked to perfection. It could be more perfect if more onions can be given for the additional $1.40 I am paying.

Overall, I am happy with my dosai but can be improved in many ways such as the service, cleanliness, and the basic gravy for dosai to be available throughout business hours.
