24hr Srisun Parata Paradise

Blk 822, Tampines St. 81

This round-the-clock prata stall is the place to satisfy all kinda hunger pangs. The drinks and prata are bound to leave u wanting for more, not forgetting the mee goreng, beehoon goreng, indian rojak, roti john, etc. The array of drinks are fantastic, ranging from the famous teh/kopi tarik, teh/kopi cino, milo dinosaur, milo godzilla, etc... As for the prata, try their egg and onion ($1.40) or masala prata ($2.50). The paper prata is a glorious sight. Build like a pyramid, you can choose to have urs drizzled with condensed milk ($2.50), chocolate ($3) or have it plain with sugar and curry ($2). The prata is so thin you have to use your hands. The fork and spoon method just doesnt cut it. Check out the coin prata and puri prata. This is the first place i've seen with these two newbies on the menu. The coin prata features six small round pratas. With sardine its $3, with mutton curry its $4. I was a little skeptical abt it, since the price is rather steep. After trying, all I can say is I'm going back for more. You have no idea how much mutton curry they give. The helping of meat is highly generous --> you cannot find this any place else. With the coin prata, its a perfect combination, only that there's quite a bit of curry left over after the prata is devoured. The range of cheese pratas and thosais are worth a try too, although the cheese pratas are quite ex as well. Be prepared to wait for your food if you go around 10-1130pm, when the crowd gathers. The vendors are a little 'blur' too, but all in all, its a good place to have your good ol' comfort food.
