Popular Upper Thomson Prata Shops

Popular Upper Thomson Prata Shops

Since Upper Thomson Road is a long road, there are quite a number of popular prata shops that can be known as 'The Prata Shop At Upper Thomson' ! To avoid going to the wrong place, make sure you get the NAME of the prata shop. Otherwise, you will find yourself quite far away from where you think you should be ! To be more precise, all the 3 prata shops below are NOT within 10 minutes walking distance from each other. You will have to catch a bus/taxi if you are not driving. Luckily, 980 and 855 are straight buses that can get you to all 3 shops.

  1. The Roti Prata House
  2. The Prata Place
  3. Upper Thomson Road Casuarina Prata

Roti Prata Expedition Along Upper Thomson Road!

A good idea for a weekend, budget, family outing in Singapore could be a  'Roti Prata Expedition Along Upper Thomson Road'. Since each Upper Thomson Prata Shop serves distinctly different types of pratas, it could be an eye-opener for everyone. I say this because before moving near to 'The Roti Prata House', my entire family was unaware such 'crispy prata' existed! (Our past experiences with roti prata were only those from hawker centres - e.g. ABC Brickworks food centre ^_^.) As a result, we used to go to 'The Roti Prata House' VERY often... just because it was such a yummy novelty to our tastebuds!

I urge you to come give it a taste, even if you have eaten crispy prata at Jalan Kayu - it's very different! In fact, I know many people will travel all the way from Jurong just to meet their friends for prata at The Roti Prata House at 246M Upper Thomson Road *wink*.

Even if you don't drive, you can catch buses that connect all 3 Upper Thomson Prata Shops...

  • 980 or 167 from Novena MRT, 
  • 980 or 167 from Sembawang MRT/Bus Interchange for a relaxing, green scenic route,
  • 855 from Yishun MRT/Bus Interchange or Opposite Khatib MRT Station (this one can feel rather long) 
  • 855 from Farrer Road MRT Station
If you drive, there is FREE parking to be found at The Roti Prata House and The Prata Place. You may have to wait for awhile, but look out for my post 'Super Secret Tips On Where To Park When You Want To Eat Upper Thomson Prata' so you can easily get a FREE parking lot! ^_^ 

I am so excited to hear from others who appreciate The Roti Prata House at 246 Upper Thomson Road. If you are a fan of the joint, do leave a comment !
