When I was young, my mother used to buy stacks of pratas on Sunday, and I would tear into them, still hot, with my hands. I could eat 4 or 5 at each time. For this entry, we ate at least 72 pratas, not counting our second and third visits to some stalls. A South Indian staple, dough is stretched, flipped, and panfried till it is crispy outside and fluffy inside. The curry must be loaded with spices.
There are too many flavors–durian, mushroom, cheese, etc–so we compared only the classic kosong (plain) and telor (egg), although we sometimes ordered additional flavors. While some stalls may give pratas already cooked for customers who tabao, we should get hot pratas made upon ordering since we were makan-ing there. The difference between pre-prepared and a la minute pratas is vast and palpable. In ascending order:

Ghim Moh egg prata is very good when eaten fresh off the stove (best time to order is when there is queue on weekend mornings since you are practically guaranteed to get the prata just made).
I think there is another prata stall at ayer rajah (west coast drive) that is good. It’s not the one mentioned in your post tho.

Thanks for your comprehensive review. Though food rating is subjective, I think leaving out Zam Zam kind of dilutes your TOP 10 at the very least. Every few years I drop by whenever the wife visits Raffles Hospital -and they never disappoint. Consistently good. And it’s no easy feat to be consistently good for over a century especially in the F&B industry. In fact, side tracking a bit, other than their pratas, I would rate most of their menu items as above average compared to other similar establishments too.

Just went to #2 curry cafe, indeed it’s crispy and freshly cooked BUT. Their “pratas” are Instant prata and it is no where near the taste of actual flipped and flopped authentic prata. It’s so buttery I can’t even finish the entire prata (might be a plus for people who are SUPER BUTTER LOVERS) but trust me, for a butter lover like myself (I can have a cube of butter to a bun like those on SIA planes or breakfast buffet) I cant even take the overload-Ness of butter.
I don’t think this should be part of this prata list, not to even mention being ranked #2 with a rating of 8.417/10.
Because anyone can get it off shelf from the supermarkets with spam with butter at home.
LikeLike
Hello Sron. When I ate there, I thought their prata was factory dough so i asked them and they said yes. But it’s not those instant prata. It comes in a dough form, like a small fist. I saw it myself. People selling wanton mee don’t make their own noodles, so i see no reason why they should make their own dough. In any case, I think many prata stalls don’t make their own dough; most get from factory. If I exclude Curry Cafe because they don’t make their own dough, then I’ll have to exclude many shops on this list.
As to the butteriness, I guess to each his own.
