Master Prata at Alexandra Central Mall

Heritage crispy prata made with homemade dough, continuing a Jalan Kayu family tradition.

Master Prata is a prata specialist run by Asraf, who inherited his crispy prata recipe from his father — a former Jalan Kayu prata maker. The stall is one of the rare few in Singapore that still makes its own dough from scratch, refusing to rely on factory-supplied versions. The result is prata that is shatteringly crisp on the outside and fluffy within, evoking the golden era of Jalan Kayu-style prata from the 1990s.

The menu offers an eye-popping 108 prata flavours, but purists will want the plain prata — crispy and golden, best dunked into their fish, mutton, or chicken curry. Prices start from under a dollar for plain prata, and the stall at Alexandra Central is open from 10am to midnight, making it a solid option for late-night supper cravings.

MakanSouth recommends going back to basics — order the plain prata and savour the crunch that only handmade dough can deliver. Drop by Master Prata and taste a piece of Singapore's prata heritage for yourself.
