Mr Prata: Pizza or Prata? How about both?
Pizza Prata $6
It was bound to happen sooner or later. We already have cheese prata, so it doesn't really take much more effort to add tomato paste and a few capsicums to turn that into a Pizza Prata.
In theory that should work quite well. But I think the problem is that perhaps the people making the prata have never actually eaten pizzas themselves. So their idea of a pizza is anything which has tomato paste, cheese and capsicum. And for the meat, they use their spiced mutton which is the same one used for the murtabak.
So the end product is still more like a Prata rather than a Pizza even though they even cut into wedges to resemble a pizza. Tastewise I found it a bit dry and uneventful. It is supposed to be eaten with curry though, in which case the classic Murtabak still has more kick. 3.75/5 What I would really like to try is one with pepperoni in it. I think that would give it a bit more flavour and moisture.
Conclusion
Something to try perhaps. I think it is a good idea, but the recipe can do with a little more tweaking.

five - maybe more - years ago, i had a pizza prata at the mamak opposite beauty world (i was studying at ngee ann poly at the time). they used mozarella and fresh tomatoes, along with pineapple. it tasted very refreshingly vegetarian-ish.
Mr Prata is giving us some hope
So can they deliver - can they cope ?
Did they engage a real Pizza Pope
Is it tomato or curries he tried to scope ?
A miracle is wanting to make or fake
The pancake connection they tried to make
That'll surely keep singaporeans more awake
Succeed we hope there is - for our cuisine's sake !
But for 3.75 - it's not quite there yet
Pizza or Prata he's trying to make us forget ?
Since you mentioned you want it more wet
Why not tell them - more butter they're gladly let
But they've actually taken a page from Jalan Kayu's book
Imitated their style and followed their look
Therefore it's an old recipe they're trying to cook
Maybe that's why it is a lousy hook
Hi, im an under-grad of IMI university. i'm currently doing a research paper regarding celebrities chef phenomenon and consumer behaviors being affected my gastronomic trends and fashions.. i actually did find your blog interesting and you happen to be one of the trend conscious author. My main purpose of posting this comment is to invite you for an online(email) interview and it would be my greatest pleasure to have your participation. If you don't mind me taking up a moment of your precious time, please reply me at rayki87@hotmail.com
Thank you
Cheers,

ieat is not only a trend conscious author, he is also one of our aunty killer.
ijeff, I think anonymous is referring to food trend, not fashion trend. For Fashion trend, you need to refer to our very own Taukwa.
sorry sir, Taukwa has absolutely no fashion sense! He goes everywhere in lousy T-shirts and board shorts with slippers. Even trying to sneak into venues with strict dress codes.
btw, a friend mentioned quite some time back that the prata is not bad there. You tried?
Pepperoni? Is there Chicken Pepperoni? Nice? Cos such prata outlets don't serve beef or pork.
It's not bad, but not particularly great either. Only the pizza prata more interesting. But it is a nice 24 hour place to hang out as it is surrounded by trees and colonial style buildings.
The mee goreng there is quite nice. And they have a rambutan freeze drink that's rather interesting too.
wow! i pass by there everyday...now i have to stop and check it out!
it looks like a pizza murtabak
Thanks for the recommendation. Tired the place over the weekend. Great! Enjoyed looking at your food photography shots too.
Thanks Eugene, the photos don't always come out the way I want it though!
