Food occupies a special place in the lives of Singaporeans, but nothing really tugs at our heartstrings more than the humble roti prata. There's just something about cracking into that fresh piece of crispy prata and its sweet bread-like aroma that evokes sentimentality that no other local dish can?

If you’re truly a prata lover, there's a high chance you’ve already heard of this place and for good reason.

While you’re there, you should also give their Murtaburger a shot. True to its name, the Murtaburger is a fusion of east (murtabak) and west (burger). Fear not, the harmonious blend of minced chicken, cheese, runny egg, BBQ sauce and mayonnaise makes perfect sense when sandwiched between fried prata dough! You just have to try it for yourself?
