Prata Wala, Tiong Bahru Plaza

Prata Wala, Tiong Bahru Plaza
Woah, this was pretty good stuff at Prata Wala (302 Tiong Bahru Road, #01-12 Tiong Bahru Plaza). I remembered their greasy prata and not so spectacular teh halia from the outlet at Nex, but this was really quite a different experience. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

I could start with the vegetable briyani which featured moist and aromatic grains of basmati rice that was good enough to eat on its own. Portions were generous. The sambar was delicious in its own bean-y way and I guess that they only thing that wasn't up to scratch was the limp papadum which I was quite willing to overlook.

Here's another rendition of butter chicken which I would definitely come back for. This one by far, comes the closest resembling Jaggi's. There was a little more tomato flavour and the spice packed just a little more heat. But those were still nicely paired with the characteristic smoky flavour and creamy textures of the gravy smothered over bits of tandoori chicken.

And those delicious squids they had with sauce tasted a little of sardines and sambal. Another great option that we picked up by chance.

Prata Wala, plaster prata
Here's their plaster prata that featured slightly molten yolk. The fish curry on the side was actually spicy.

And the milky sweet beverages to sooth out the spices at the afterward.
