Roti Prata, Blk 828 Tampines St. 81

There's a newly renovated coffeeshop at Blk 828, Tampines St. 81, which serves various foods, some which are above average. I wanted to try the godzilla bao from the dim sum stall. Went the day b4, and the auntie told me to come the next day, when the baos would be ready by 7am. So i went, and i was disappointed. had to wait until 11am. So instead, i tried the roti prata from the stall next door.

The pictures make the prata look so visually appealing, and the real deal did turn out looking fluffy and attractive. Taste-wise, it did not match up. Sometimes beauty and brains really dont go together. The chicken curry ($4 for a set with 2 plain pratas) was spicy enough, and the chicken thigh was tender and generous. One piece of potato and tomato are added. I liked that the curry was very characteristic of Indian curry (the spices used), and yet had the thickness of Chinese chicken curry. The prata (60cents for plain, $1.20 for egg) was disappointing, however, mainly due to the fact that it was not hot enough even though it was freshly made (can't understand why). The set, for me, is too heavy for breakfast, but if you just order the prata, the curry that comes along with it is just a waste of time.

Conclusion: There are better prata stalls around.
