This eponymously named place (246 M Upper Thomson Road, Singapore, 6459-5260) has endorsements plastered all over it: "Recommended by The New Paper," "The Best Crispy Prata," etc, but I was a bit let down. It wasn't all that crispy, and the cheese prata lacked cheese taste. The teh halia pulled ginger tea sucked too - it was weak in taste and had cooled off too much. Well, the prata wasn't bad, but it wasn't great - I still prefer the (admittedly-overhyped) Jalan Kayu establishments instead.
The one thing that did stand out for me was the mutton soup, which has an unattractive green-grey color, but tastes amazing with a spicy and robust taste and yet a very thin consistency. If I come back here (which is likely considering that it's 24 hours), then it will be primarily for the mutton soup. The roti prata will only be an afterthought.

I went there last week and asked one of uncle staff there for the prices of some pratas on the menu (prices not stated).. he quoted $3 and $4 !!!!!
But when i later placed my order with another staff and got the receipt, I realised that uncle staff was trying to cheat my money!!! How dishonest !!!!
Later when i finished my food and pay at the counter, i was served by the same uncle staff who seemed a bit embarassed as he realised I would know already he was trying to cheat my money….
I like the crispy pratas they made but I would be wary of the staff there in case they resort to cheating tactics again !!
FIRST TIME customers BEWARE!!!
P.S: Jus to let first timers there understand, the menu DOES NOT state prices. You simply order wif the waiter and he wud bring u the food and a receipt ONLY SHOWING THE TOTAL PRICE, NOT THE FOOD ITEMS U ORDERED. Hence, they can deny even if u claim the staff misquote prices in an attempt to cheat your money!!
