Casuarina Curry at Macpherson Road is having a S$7.90 roti prata buffet with over 25 types of roti prata from 27 Sep to 1 Oct 2021.

This humble establishment is hugely popular for several good reasons. For one, they manage to nail the basics every time, whipping up crispy roti prata accompanied with a hearty fish or mutton curry that never fails to satisfy customers.

The roti prata themselves are perennially crispy without being overly oily, making the experience, unlike any other prata establishment. Their ability to keep their prices relatively low – considering how large their portion sizes are – is a reason why Casuarina Curry has managed to retain a loyal customer base.

For 90 minutes between 3 – 6pm, you can stuff your face with more than 25 types of roti prata including paper prata, cheese prata, onion garlic prata, egg cheese sausage prata, plaster prata, garlic cheese, egg cheese sausage and more.

We can all relate to the pain of organising a catch-up session with your buddies that you haven’t met in years—busy with school, work and having to do OT makes it nearly impossible to find a common date and time for a meetup.

The only time that all of your friends are free is probably, well, in the middle of the night. And for some odd reason, our stomachs go empty when the sun goes down as do the shutters of most stalls.

Singapore is undoubtedly a food haven but what happens when hunger pangs strike you in the middle of the night? Fret not for we have sussed out 10 Muslim-Friendly Supper Spots That Open Till Late Night To Makan With Your Supper Squad. Apologies in advance for the weight gain.

THREE CHEERS FOR LIVERPOOL F.C.!

No, let’s make that four. Their victorious win over F.C. Barcelona at Anfield last night brought them to the Champion’s League finals. It was a pretty unexpected results, especially when MoSalah and Firmino didn’t even play.

As Real Madrid fans ourselves, we couldn’t be more pleased with this results. But it seems the owner of Springleaf Prata Place—who’s an Everton supporter—takes this victory even more seriously!

For today, Springleaf Prata Place will be giving away 4 free kosong prata to Liverpool fans!

Springleaf Prata Place has 5 outlets in Singapore. As long as you turn up at any one of the 5 outlets in a Liverpool jersey today, be treated to 4 pieces of prata kosong!

This is, however, only applicable to the first 10 people per outlet.

The miraculous comeback by Liverpool F.C. is certainly one that calls for celebration, and unless you are a F.C. Barcelona fan (sucks to be you), the English team’s splendid performance well deserves recognition from all over the world.

Good one, Springleaf Prata Place. Well played.

Our love for liu sha will never die. The delectable rich ingredient is more than just a passing trend. It has stolen the hearts of generations across Singapore and is present in practically every menu everywhere.

We have seen it buns, crabs, croissants, doughnuts, fries, pizzas, waffles and whatnot. But have you ever had the brined creamy golden lava in a roti prata?

Yes, your eyes are not tricking you. If you have yet to hear, our beloved glorious roti prata has taken on new form at Big Street Singapore and has successfully evolved into an addictive Prata Bomb stuffed with molten salted egg custard.

Big Street Singapore – a two-storey casual establishment – opens till 3am from Tuesdays to Sundays and is a new favourite supper destination among Singaporeans. The bar-cum-cafe serves a variety of Singaporean hawker dishes such as roti prata and chicken rice, but the most popular item is evidently the Liu Sha Prata Bomb (S$6++).

The Liu Sha Prata Bomb (S$6++) is stuffed with generous amounts of salted egg yolk lava that literally oozes out rapidly upon knifing through it. Each Liu Sha Prata Bomb is placed on a black stone plate and complemented with a fresh pineapple slice and cherry – though we don’t see the point in that.

We are totally digging this ingenious creation. Don’t underestimate the size of this palm-size prata – it is actually filled with heaps of liu sha and might be a tad too sweet for some people.

Nevertheless, we wiped it clean in an instant because we are that obsessed with liu sha.

About the writer:
Hui Jun Ng is a staff writer for ladyironchef. She previously worked in the food and marketing industry. She loves traveling and enjoys exploring underrated destinations. In her free time, you will find her indulging in coffee and her all time favourite local dish – bak chor mee.

Breakfast is always a motivation to get out of bed, especially for weekends. While brunch is arguably Singaporean’s favourite meal of the day, and while I like my eggs, French toast and pancakes, I also love going to the hawker centres in the suburbs and neighbourhood for my local breakfast fix. In Singapore, we are really spoiled for choices when it comes to cheap and good hawker food.

Here are 7 of the cheapest Singapore’s local hawker breakfast options.

Kaya Toast

Old-schol bread toasted over traditional charcoal grill, with a generous spread of kaya (with soft-boiled eggs and a cup of kopi (coffee) is the quintessential Singaporean breakfast. This is probably the simplest, yet most satisfying and local breakfast cannot get any better than this. Most coffee shops serve a set for under S$2.50.

Carrot Cake

One of my favourite hawker food is Carrot Cake, also known as Chai Tow Kway. Not to be mistaken with the Western dessert, Singapore’s rendition is stir-fried radish cake with eggs, and it comes in either white or black (sweet soy sauce).

Chee Cheong Fun

Chee Cheong Fun is a Chinese dish of thin rice noodle roll which comes with a variety of fillings – like shrimp, char siew and beef. Or you can opt for the plain ones, which is doused in either sweet or chilli sauce, and topped with sesame seeds.

Chwee Kueh

Chwee Kueh, a type of steamed rice cake topped with diced preserved radish, is another popular local breakfast in Singapore. You can get a packet of four Chwee Kueh for S$1.20.

Economic Bee Hoon

This is one of the cheapest hawker breakfast. You can usually get a plate of economic bee hoon with one topping like fried egg or luncheon meat for S$2. It is affordable and very satisfying.

Nasi Lemak

There is the kind where you get to choose from an array of dishes and they charge accordingly, and there is the simplified breakfast version that is pre-packed in banana leaf with an assortment of ingredients, usually a generous serving of the fragrant rice that is cooked in coconut milk, together with roasted peanuts, deep-fried anchovies, fish and egg – all for under S$2.

Roti Prata

Another iconic Singapore breakfast staple is Roti Prata – an Indian flour-based pancake which comes with different fillings like cheese, onion, mushroom or egg. An Roti Prata ‘Kosong’ (no fillings) is less than S$1. Most people eat the prata by dipping it with curry, but we prefer to have it with sugar.
