This Simpang supper hotspot is gaining a steady reputation for this one thing — Prata Coin ($7). Unlike regular flattened pratas, these come coiled up to look like coins, and every bite presents an unbeatable mix of crisp golden exteriors, soft and fluffy insides and the unmistakeable fragrance of butter. The icing on the cake however is the accompanying mutton curry, which is more than just an afterthought like in so many prata shops. The curry here is extremely flavourful and generous with chunks of meat, and it pairs fantastically with the prata. After his first bite, Burppler Dixon Chan actually excitedly shared the news among five Whatsapp chat groups — it is THAT good.

Saw Burpple Tastemaker Dixon's review on the Prata coin here and I just knew I had to specially make a trip down for myself. I came with high expectations and this Prata coin proved itself worthy of his extremely positive review. Soft, fluffy yet still very crispy, the Prata coin kind of melts in your mouth. The Prata coin smells invitingly of butter, which nicely complements the fragrance of the chicken curry served. I initially thought the portion was too much for me, but the whole plate disappeared without me noticing. Definitely coming back for more!
Oh gawd, this is good. Probably the most memorable prata experience I had in the last 10 years. Every bite is filled with sweetness, flavor and fragrance of oil. Couple it with the mutton curry, it's batman and robin in the making. I probably shared this to 5 Whatsapp group chats after the first bite. You got to try it for yourself!
