Sin Ming Prata

my mum wanted to go sin ming to check out her van in the garage, and we were deciding where to go for lunch. my aunt suggested this prata place in sin ming. so we went. it's at sin ming drive, a very nondescript coffeeshop. to be honest, it looked so old and dirty tt i half wanted to suggest going somewhere else to eat. but we perservered.

the 4 of us ordered 2 plains, 2 paper prata, 1 cheese and 1 egg prata, plus 1 side order of fried chicken and 1 marsala chicken. all for only 13.50!
look at all the food we ordered! the marsala chicken (in the foreground) was very good.

my all-time fave: tissue/paper prata!

ok i love tissue prata, when done right, it's thin, crispy, and coated with a thin layer of sugar. a pity lots of places don't do it right, i even had one version where the whole prata tasted like it was deep fried in oil! yucks. i rate prata stalls by their tissue prata. cos it takes alot of skill to make it right. you must make the dough super thin, fry it on the skillet, pour sugar, then make it into the cone shape in super quick time.

i used to think tt the best tissue prata in s'pore was in simpang bedok. it's good, but the standards vary sometimes. so well. when i tasted sin ming's tissue prata... i was in heaven. it really was paper thin, super crispy, coated with the right amount of sugar, and totally didn't taste oily. my mum, aunt and sis loved it too! and i hereby declare the best tissue prata (tt i've tasted) to be sin ming's version. yumyum!

the rest of their prata are good too. the plain is nice and crispy, the cheese has just the right amount of cheese and dough and the egg is nice and chewy. best of all, all their prata doesn't taste like they're doused with oil. love love love the prata here! pity it closes at 8pm most nites, so i can't have it as midnite snack. darn. prata tastes damn good at nite.
