Al Falah Restaurant

The 24/7 joint is the best-known supper gem in the Hougang vicinity. The no-frills coffee shop sells a medley of Indian rojak, biryani, murtabak and other goreng-style dishes. But it is the freshly made (or rather, fried) pratas that draw the crowds. Expect a shatteringly crispy outside while the inside remains soft, warm and fluffy. We reckon it eats well on its own but if you're picking a curry to pair, go with the tangy fish curry to help cull the fat. It also comes with a sweet and savoury sambal for an extra kick. For the adventurous, consider ordering the tower-like tissue prata that spans almost up to a metre tall.
