Through the Viewfinder: The Prata Man

Yesterday, Tom and I went to check out Little India. Our first stop was at Tekka Center to wander around the market and possibly find something to eat. The market side is a fresh food market where you can get all kinds of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood and all kinds of great spices. Before wandering around there, we checked out the Hawker Stand side. In the US we call this a food court, but there isn't a food court anywhere in the states where you can find food as good and as cheap as you can at the Hawker Stands in Singapore. We came across a man and his wife selling Prata. It is basically a crepe filled with egg, cheese onion served with a wonderful curry sauce.

A perfect breakfast! We liked it so much, that today we went back to have breakfast there again. As we were eating, I noticed a framed newspaper article next to the stall about the owner traveling to Taiwan and the US to showcase Singaporean food at different festivals, mainly his Prata. I found another article on him here. On this mornings' trip, we had to wait in a line of about 8 people to get our prata, but it was worth the wait... the entire time we were there, he had a huge line... most people buying stacks of 5 or 6 prata at a time. So if you are ever in Singapore, take the trip to Tekka Center and visit The Prata Man!
