In the bustling food haven that is Singapore, finding an exceptional plate of roti prata isn’t hard — but finding one that’s truly unforgettable? That’s where Mr & Mrs Mohgan’s Super Crispy Roti Prata stands out.
🥇 A Local Legend
Tucked away in the unassuming Tin Yeang Restaurant coffee shop at the corner of Joo Chiat Road and Crane Road, this old-school prata stall has earned a cult following among East-siders and beyond. Run by Mr Mohgan and his wife, this humble joint is all about doing one thing — and doing it better than anyone else.
The name says it all: super crispy. That’s not just a marketing gimmick. Mohgan’s prata has a flaky, almost pastry-like crust with a golden crunch that shatters delicately with every bite, while still retaining a warm, fluffy interior. Each piece is handmade, rolled, and flipped to order — the kind of craftsmanship that’s increasingly rare in a fast-food age.
🌞 What to Order
- Plain Prata: Don’t underestimate the classic. It’s crisp, airy, and addictive on its own.
- Egg Prata: The richness of egg adds a soft contrast to the crispy edges — a fan favorite.
- Onion or Cheese Variants: If you’re feeling adventurous, go for the layered texture of onion or the gooey indulgence of cheese.
Pair it with their signature fish curry or dhal. Many regulars swear by the dhal for its thick, hearty flavor with just the right amount of spice.
⏰ Go Early or Go Home
They open as early as 6:30 AM, but you’ll want to get there before 10:30 AM if you don’t want to face a long queue — or worse, find them sold out. The stall closes by 1 PM or earlier when stocks run out, which they often do, especially on weekends.
💬 Why It’s Special
There’s a certain magic in watching Mr Mohgan work — every prata flipped with the rhythm of decades of experience, each one fried to golden perfection. There are no shortcuts here. It’s the kind of old-world dedication and consistency that turns breakfast into a ritual.
Even as the food scene modernizes, Mr & Mrs Mohgan’s remains defiantly traditional — and we’re all the better for it.
