Roti Prata!!

!!Halal!!

Roti Prata

They range from $0.70-$2.50, they're mostly available at most malay hawkers. This is one type of food which is definitely affordable for students. Its fast and very filling. In addition, they come in a wide variety of combinations. Prata is normally served with curry, most stalls will by default give you either fish curry or chicken curry. I personally recommend, that you ask them for either mutton or Daal curry. These two curries give a nicer texture and are smoother in viscosity when compared with fish or chicken curry.

Its also not simply just prata, which you must have. To top off and complete that quick meal, you will need a beverage. That beverage is "Teh-Tarik", its basically milk tea which has been doused back and forth between 2 cups. The tea is cooled evenly and a nice milky froth floats on the top.
In my opinion, if you're gonna have prata... You can't miss out the Teh-Tarik.

So.. where is the value in Prata, you might probably be wondering...? Well, 2 plain Pratas will cost you about $1.40 and then you add in the Teh-Tarik which costs around $0.80. For $2.20, I can pretty much assure that anyone will pleasantly satisfied. $2.20 is easily afforable for both working class people and students. Its great if you're on a budget too!!

An outlet I can recommend would be "Prata Paradise" which is opposite Temasek Polytechnic. It is located near the KFC and is beside one of the carparks near the HDBs.. Good luck finding it!! Their Teh Tarik is SUPER!!! ^^v
