After 18 months of roving across Singapore, hunting down the best roti prata, we found the one—Sin Ming Roti Prata Faisal & Aziz Curry Muslim Food. From famed prata havens like Mr. and Mrs. Mogan’s to hidden gems tucked in Kampong Glam, we’ve tried them all. But none left us as thrilled as this family-run spot, a place that has earned its reputation over two decades.

Here’s a breakdown of why this unassuming eatery stands tall above the rest.

Ambiance: A Family Legacy Wrapped in Warmth

Sin Ming’s vibe carries a casual, old-school charm. Stepping in, we were welcomed by Faisal himself, the friendly boss man who gave us a glimpse into their story. The family’s journey spans three generations, starting in Tamil Nadu, South India. Faisal's father runs the kitchen with a no-compromise philosophy, sourcing only fresh ingredients and sticking to a recipe refined over decades.

It’s a space where tradition meets craftsmanship—without frills, but rich in authenticity.

Food: The Gold Standard of Prata

The Coin Prata: A Textural Revelation

This was, hands down, the highlight. The coin prata here is crisp on the outside, with layers that unfold into a chewy, flaky interior. It’s pure perfection—a masterclass in technique. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch, followed by buttery softness, creating a multi-textural experience we couldn't stop raving about.

Tissue Prata: Light as Air

The tissue prata is an edible feat. Paper-thin and folded into a towering cone, this delicate version melts in your mouth. It’s light yet indulgent—so thin they cut off any thicker edges to maintain its uniform crispness.

Murtabak: A Hearty Delight

We sampled the sardine murtabak, packed with sweet onions that balanced the delicate brininess of the fish. Unlike many others, Faisal's sardine murtabak skips unnecessary condiments—no tomato sauce here—letting the flavors shine.

Curries: Thick, Rich, and Unapologetically Bold

The curries elevate every bite of bread. The mutton curry, with chunks of tender meat and a touch of gaminess, was a knockout. It’s thick, punchy, and flavorful, with just the right hint of spice to offset the richness. Alongside it were equally fantastic chicken and fish curries—each with depth and complexity. What we loved most was that the seasoning on the bread itself was spot on, making every prata enjoyable on its own.

Service: Genuine Hospitality

Faisal and his team embody warmth and pride in their craft. It’s not just about selling food—it’s about sharing a piece of their family legacy. Our brief conversation with Faisal gave us insight into their relentless pursuit of quality, from ingredient selection to perfecting their dough.

Value for Money: Worth Every Cent

Sin Ming Roti Prata is exceptional not just for the taste but for the value. For a fraction of what you’d pay at more commercialized spots, you get food that’s leagues better. The curries come in generous portions, and the variety across the pratas means there’s something for everyone. If you’re only ordering one thing, make it the coin prata with mutton curry—you won’t regret it.

Final Verdict: Prata Perfection Achieved

Sin Ming Roti Prata Faisal & Aziz Curry sets a new standard for prata in Singapore. From the precision of their coin prata to the thoughtful, punchy curries, every element feels deliberate and deeply satisfying. After countless attempts across the island, we can confidently say: this is the best prata we’ve found.

If you’re a bread lover like us, this spot will spoil you. And if you still need convincing, know this—a photo we posted of their prata a year ago now has 1.2 million views on Google Reviews. That kind of love speaks volumes.

Until next time, Faisal—we’ll be back soon.
