Sin Ming Roti Prata Review: Still One Of The Best Prata Stalls In SG?

Sin Ming Roti Prata has famous coin prata at Upper Thomson

Few prata stalls in Singapore are as legendary as Sin Ming Roti Prata Faisal & Aziz Curry Muslim Food. Located along Sin Ming Road, the namesake of the stall, patrons flock here for the iconic coin prata, which you can see prepared in the shot above. They also have other prata varieties, as well as other Indian Muslim fare such as curry chicken and nasi goreng.

But even famous stalls have their peaks and troughs. Having been around since 1933, does the stall still serve up some of the best prata in the year 2026? We dropped by for breakfast to find out.

Food at Sin Ming Roti Prata

Sin Ming doesn’t display their prices on the menu, so it can be a little difficult to gauge how much you’re going to spend. We ordered a Coin Prata Set, an egg prata, and a plate of Mee Goreng, which cost us a total of $11.20. Some sources say that the Coin Prata Set costs $4.50, which is certainly on the pricier side as far as prata goes—but let’s see if it’s worth the investment.

The Coin Prata Set gets you six circular prata, served with a side of mutton curry for dipping. Before we get into the tastes and textures, we have to say—these coin prata were beautiful. If there’s one prata you could label “dainty”, it’s this one.

Almost like a complex pastry, tearing into the prata revealed dense layers. That served as a good indicator of its mouthfeel, which was crispy on the outside and incredibly fluffy on the inside. We think the benefit of coin prata is that, compared to the usual flatter prata, it offers a more substantial bite that contrasts beautifully with its crisp exterior.

The curry was also delicious. While it was a little more watery than we remembered, it nevertheless had a rich, meaty depth from the mutton. The interplay of spices gave it a fragrant aroma and a piquant flavour.  That said, some might find it a tad too salty, however, so you’ll have to try it yourself to see where you stand.

Needless to say, the coin prata was a hit. But what about the other, more standard prata options? To test how they’d fare, we ordered the classic Egg Prata.

While the egg prata was not nearly as spectacular as its coin counterpart, it was still a solid rendition. The generous use of egg meant almost the whole prata carried that savoury, somewhat custardy texture, while the exterior was tastefully crispy.

We really only had room for one more dish, and since we were getting a bit of prata fatigue, we decided to go for the good ol’ Mee Goreng.

All the traits of good mee goreng were here, with the most prominent being the sweet-spicy sauce and strong smoky flavour. That charred aroma was really quite addictive initially, but it did get quite jelak towards the end—perhaps some balance would’ve been ideal here.

Ambience at Sin Ming Roti Prata

The stall is tucked away in a rather modest coffee shop, though it has a good number of tables and a decent selection of stalls. Sin Ming, however, seems to draw the biggest crowd, especially earlier in the day, when people are stopping by for breakfast.

Sin Ming is a seven-minute walk from Upper Thomson MRT Station.

We can confirm that Sin Ming is not washed, as the kids would say. The stall still offers excellent prata, and their coin prata alone makes them one of the best prata institutions in the country.
