PRATA.

Roti prata, the Singaporean counterpart to Malaysia's roti canai, is a pancake made of dough composed of fat, egg, flour and water and prepared specially similarly to roti canai. It is served with curry or, more rarely, with sugar or condensed milk. In addition, although consumed at any time of the day by some locals, the vast majority tend to consume it as a late night or early morning dish, particularly at 24-hour outlets.

The dish has evolved somewhat differently in Singapore and in Malaysia. In Singapore, economic affluence and cultural influences have created variations reflective of the cosmopolitan character of the city. For instance, it is common to find outlets serving roti with flavourings as varied as garlic, banana, chocolate, durian and cheese, the latter of which is common in Singapore, but less so in Malaysia. Also, roti prata variations are more likely to be known by names such as cheese prata or onion prata rather than with a roti prefix, and mostly in the English language.

Some of the most famous outlets in Singapore include those located at Jalan Kayu, Upper Thomson Road and Clementi Road near the National University of Singapore. The roti prata chain "The Best Prata Shop" has outlets all over Singapore.
