No list of supper spots is complete without mentioning a prata place, and for those who live in the North-East, Sri Sun Express might ring a bell.
The prata spot used to be located at Block 212 in Hougang, but they now operate out of Serangoon Gardens, with 3 other outlets islandwide. If you’re wondering what makes this prata special, it’s open 24 hours. Yes, you read that right. If you’re craving Indian food at 4AM, this is THE place to go.
Sri Sun Express has one of the most extensive menus we’ve come across, with everything ranging from the usual prata to North Indian cuisine to Western food and even an Impossible menu range that features the popular plant-based meat.
Another thing the prata joint is known for is its drink towers, which come with a staggering 3L of your drink of choice! Options range from Iced Teh to Sugarcane and even Iced Milo, though be warned that the latter might leave you feeling heaty.
For those who are a little too lazy to head out, Sri Sun Express also offers delivery from its 4 outlets.
