I Tried Singapore's Cheapest Buffet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 січ 2024
- Everything seems to be expensive in Singapore but did you know that one restaurant serves a buffet for only S$7.90? I tried. The place is called Al Jasra Restaurant (nearby Kembangan MRT) and they serve prata buffet. The reviews seem mixed so I was a bit worried but is it worth the money? Let's find out.

I haven't try to check your shop yet but you have Amazake or taste like Amazake?
Just wondering if you would ship overseas like USA?
right after he said so skilled, the filling spilled on the counter 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
i was dying
maybe that's why he got the plain prata cause the egg/onion and cheese all fell out 🤣🤣🤣
I know right….I was laughing too when I saw that. Skilled!!!😂😂😂
That’s how they make profit. Use it for the next one!
Those guys were quite cheeky. Your 1,2,3,4 in the chit was obviously the order sequence and not the quantity.
I’m a Singaporean living in aus, and I love watching your videos because it reminds me of the little quirks of Singapore. Your enthusiasm for everything sg warms my heart!!
Respect for eating the prata with your hand like a true Indian
Even if they read your order wrongly, it should've been 10 pratas. They even served multiple random plain pratas. This might be my first time trusting reviews about the food and the staff.
The guy came over to confirm with Ghib if he wanted 1, 2, 3 and 4 of each type. When Ghib confirmed he only wants 1 of each, then the guy attempted to amend the order but he can only change the quantity of Type 4 because they already started cooking the others. So he got 1, 2 and 3 of each type but only 1 of the 4th type. That makes 7!
but that still doesnt explain why there were so many plain pratas like 3-4 when it was not inside@@JCzzzzz
Not sure if you saw the video, but he confirmed that it was only 1 of the last prata when he walked up to him
once they noticed you are filming... I am sure they will UP their service and quality just for you....
Yes this is what I was thinking. Basic common sense la ghib, do not show that you are filming while doing such contents. Alamak
I understand but it’s challenging to hide my big camera😂
Yes, they do.... by give you 4 kusong prata which never order and a unidentified object in the 1st ikan bilis prata.
@@GhibOjisanget a mini spy camera
Excellent video! Domo arigato gozaimasu.
The one thing which struck and stuck with me is the extremely positive attitude which you had in your visit and taste-test of the prata buffet and yet being very realistic with no sugarcoating nor disingenuity.
Personally, after watching the video and observing the staff at the restaurant, i think that the allegations of the staff being "rude" could be due to the fact that they may not understand what was being conveyed to them and vice versa i.e. miscommunication. Moreover, Singaporeans are notorious for being impatient.
Once again, thank you for the video!
p.s. Pineapple sake, yes please!
wow did you get a new editor???? the quality of the editing 📈📈📈 love it!
Really love all these videos where Ghib san film with his wife. He seems to be having a lot more fun.
Welcome Back. Ah so nice Vlog.
🌷💙🤍
they gave you plain ones... bcos they wanna see if you will return the order... indian style... bro.
I had the buffet a year ago with my wife at night. The staff initially told me that they only served the buffet in a specific period in the afternoon. When I asked to see the boss and told them that we came all the way down from the west, the team acceded my request
Their pratas were pretty good and glad that we did not see any insects crawling around
At regular prata places, the options with premium ingredients such as mushroom cheese may cost around $2.5 ... and having 3 of those will usually be too many for average eaters and will cost less than $8. So unless you can really eat a lot, this buffet is probably not worth it, also those pratas and gravy seems below average.
Wow a singapore sake concoction! Huat ah! Pineapple sake! Incredible. I am seriously considering ordering it. I will be sharing this with my friends. Do u have a separate short video clip on the singapore sake? That would help a lot when I share it with my SG friends and foreigner friends resident in SG
I have uploaded a video introduction on our product page on shopee! linktr.ee/ghibojisan
Hope you and your friends enjoy this special sake!
@@GhibOjisan thanks.
Just found your channel. You are great. I wish you the most success.
Prata looks decent for $7.90.. but cant eat that much tho 😅 2-3 pc is enough for me.
Nice Pineapple CNY Sake!!! Gonna order as gift for family just in time! 🎉
Hope you enjoy😄
Seems like a convenient way to make customers full by "accidentally" giving you wrong prata and assuming you won't complain.
I didn't know there were these kinds of cool temples in Kembangan
Just ordered the pineapple sake! HUAT AH!!!
Hope you’ll like it!!
Next stop you shd try is.. Prata at Saffron Restaurant. They serve their pratas with sambal (a malay/indonesian chilli sauce) & curry. Thts like a fusion mix of indo-malay & indian! U can also try the Mee Kuah & their best seller Nasi Briyani!!
Surely they can make profit with $7.90. Average person can eat like max 3 plain prata? Prata itself is just flour, oil, water dough. Options like mushroom (canned), pineapple (canned), cheese (processed), banana, honey (most likely syrup)...all these add-ons don't cost much.😆 Egg prata won't be crispy...egg is wet.
You have "saved" the money by taking a grab instead of the walking from nearby Kembangan LOL
They have seen your camera the attitude/service will change. Cockroaches don't usually appear during day time and when there are so much movement around.
Kembangan has many private houses and condo.
P.S. it's read as kerm-bung gun
Their naan, especially when dipped in butter chicken, is superior. And this is coming from someone who haven't tasted their prata yet.
Great for you to visit my neighbourhood! Welcome! You should try Al Jasra's tandoori and yes I saw your look when you felt full... 😂😂 This buffet is only for the young; I can't afford the carbs...
You actually can return the plain prata because you didn't order them, and wait for your actual order. The plain pratas are probably made in advance. So ordering non-plain ones are the way to go. Cockroaches is hard to ignore especially in places like these which are near drains, road sides and has back door access to garbage disposals. Anyways, no one can finish up 7 pratas but you did? lol! I can probably eat 2-3 max that's already pushing it haha! Thank you for sharing your experience so that I don't have to try it lol!
Thank U very much for warning us 🫡
the cockroach is a common sight at night since i eat that place night time i see it roaming around but also when busy the staff do indeed get a bit rude during busy hours so who can complain it a 7.90 prata buffet
Hi Ghib,, wah i still hv the osake that i order last time n now i used it for cooking,, wow you can eat alot of that prata . it looks ok but shojiki tabetakunai ne 😂,, till the next vlog Ghib,, Huat Ah ,, 👍😬
Jiayou Ghib!
Great video, I loved the Buddhist monasteries in Nepal and Boudha Stupa, all so peaceful to be in and around and of course not forgetting the colourful prayer flags everywhere 👍🇳🇵
今年、シンガポールの食べ物のブログを作りたい。美味しい食べ物が多すぎるじゃん！
thank you. At least we know to avoid this prata place
usually the spicy curry is fish curry. There is one with mutton curry and one is lenti curry
Thanks for sharing bro, wanted to try and have been hesitating, but now😂😂😂😂.
近いうちにシンガポールで働いている親友に会いに行くので
凄く参考になります。
有り難う‼️
シンガポール、楽しんでくださいね！
Walk a few steps down to seng kee n that pineapple back kea. Go try them Ghib!
@ghib Pineapple Bak Kwa. Not black tea..auto spell!
Reminds me of my fav springleaf prata. 😋
2 glass shards in my teh tarik! Spat out and cut my thumb! There could be more inside! Just glad I didn’t swallow them!
Gambate Ghib san, any normal appetite won't be able to finish 3 pratas...its oily and carb heavy! You did very well !
Thank you for being brave and experiencing this food outlet. We’ll just take your word on this one👍
Jiayou ghib
The open field behind of the MRT has closed and going to be a place for new HDBs, kinda sad.
Also, check out the Bak Kwa shop which is just a few shops besides of the prata shop that you went. Please try their signature Pineapple Bak Kwa, it is sugoi umai!
Ordered 2 Sake Huat Ah! One for family and the other for friends! Hope it's good!
Huat ah! I'm sure you'll all enjoy it. Thanks and Kanpai!
i've been to this place twice. both day times so maybe that's why no cockroaches then. no stomachaches either. but their prata is def below average. once the prata arrives you better finish it fast while it's hot. just 5 minutes and it'll become rubbery and lousy.
they do also scringe. i recall seeing half a slice of cheese instead of a full slice. but no complaints for a $7.90 buffet.
I prefer springleaf at railmall bt timah. My daughter prefers jalan kayu.
Will try my first Prata Buffet in my life 😂
A few years back before they implemented the 'start 3pm' timing, I could spend half a day there just eating. The most I've had in one seating was about 20ish pratas myself.... spend 6 hours there from noon till dinnertime and you'll have eaten your fill seriously
And their pratas from my few times patronizing them were okay (I've been there at least 5 times over the past few years). Not the super delicious ones, but not cheapo made ones either. For maximum value I'd usually go with mushroom cheese, mushroom egg, mushroom egg cheese pratas
My final time though, was before Covid, and it scared the shit outta me because at my 8th-9th prata that seating I felt lightheaded - stopped eating immediately and just waited for it to wear off. Was worried I'd have a stroke on the spot or something (Pratas are very high cholesterol). Never been there since.
after the “too cheap” the manager didn’t dare to carry on , hahaha 😆😆
Are there any TKGians or people from St. Anthony Canossian Primary? Ex or current
how come you didnt order mutabak with meat?
Yes I went there for supper and I sit the side that few tables combines. I saw a cockroaches climb on one girl leg and she screamed.
I ordered a tosai masala. It tasted normal and price wise normal. Wont go back anymore.
If u want to experience Malaysia mamak style in Singapore, you will like here. HAHAHA
You should go to the restaurant that serves pig intestines Mian Xian, it’s just a few steps away….
👍
i think they give you the plain ones on purpose as you have ordered 9 pratas.
2 prata is enough for every meal. You can have 2 quality prata for less than $7.90
Yeah I noticed I also cannot eat too much😂
I can actually eat 100 pratas but they stopped me
i tried this buffet a few years back.... and lets just say i didnt go back there again.
whats that at 8:22 ?
Hello bro. Anybody told you that you look like Khabib? You are the Japanese version of Khabib... Hahhahaha
イカンビリプラタ魅力的すぎる、、、
とても変わってました笑
@@GhibOjisan 返信ありがとうございます！ 今度シンガポール行ったらローカル旅しようかな笑
Jiayou
Is the pineapple sake still available
Yes we restocked some!
I own a house over at kembangan. The neighborhood there is one of the best in Singapore. Lots of landed properties couple with a few private condominiums. There are not many HDB there. It is a quiet neighborhood with many nice people there.
Btw you pronounce Kembangan as "kum-bung-an"
Respect..u dare eat at this place😂😂
FYI, never order plain prata... must order those e.g. plaster or with extra ingredients inside.. bcos they will be freshly made vs the plain ones...
he didn't even ordered plain but they just gave it to him..
Yes kelong
Living dangerously.Wish you the best of luck.I think I can eat 10 prata.
aiya how much only, cannot complain loh...
he got complain meh? are u stupid or dumb?
When it comes to prata in Singapore, Chindamani, situated at 151A Serangoon North Ave 1, #01-81, stands out as my top choice. Renowned for its unparalleled crispiness, Chindamani's prata surpasses others, including the famous Jalan Kayu prata, in both texture and taste. Be mindful of potential queues, as its popularity peaks during morning and lunch hours. Additionally, it's worth noting that Chindamani has earned the prestigious 'Food King' rating. My recommendation is based solely on personal experience, without any sponsorship from Chindamani. So, why not swing by and savor their prata for an authentic culinary delight 😂
Even in front of a camera, they can show their dishonest ways. Imagine without.
First they tried bullshit their way out by gaslighting you, blaming you for not giving them a clear order sheet.
Let's say give them the benefit of the doubt and that they really misunderstood your order.
Why did they still give you wrong pratas after clarifications? Simply because plain pratas are cheaper and higher profit margain.
What a scam. 10/10 should avoid.
My friend and I went to this eatery and ordered four slices of prata. We waited for about half an hour. The store was quite empty, and the time was off peak. We ordered three more after that, and it took over an hour and twenty minutes this time. In light of this, if you want to visit, attempt to complete all of the orders in one sitting (prata turning cold vs. one hour of waiting time) and be ready for a lengthy wait. (watching the comings and goings of nearby customers eating contently and leaving)
The staff will use the broom to hit the leg of your chair if you stay too long under the guise of sweeping the floor. Tried once and never back again. 🤣
No glove?
1 masala prata will cost about 2.50 dollar..
Jia you Ghib
0:25 cam bung gun 😂
Kembangan is near Frankel...where the middle income or more well off live...mostly in landed property. That is why you won't see many HDB in this area.
But no cheese prata … 😢
10 prata per person still achievable lah
I ate a $3 tosai
Me and wife had lunch there last month. She had one huge cockroach that landed right smack into her food. Never again going there.
Indian prata is never known for being "Clean".... I mean if you dunno anything about prata shop... you will be shocked... This is how prata shop is.... very indian style....
true..if it’s too ‘clean’ then its not prata…must be something else..fake prata is clean prata😅
Knowing a normal person's stomach capacity for pratas, the stall can still make money. Averaging the most one can eat is 3 pratas, you don't need to pay $7.90 for 3 pratas elsewhere. Nothing cheap about this deal.
You are lucky!! You visited a prata place with cockroach ... that means ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 😅
Went there tried once ,i ate max 8
can bring me go!?
Varieties*
Thank you very much much. I won’t be eating here.
It doesn’t make sense to try this buffet unles you really WANT to eat like 10 pratas. Most people eat 1 egg 1 kosong already enough. Comfortably maybe can eat 4, 2 egg + 2 kosong, which will cost $7.60 at Casuarina. Plus an Iced Teh, at 1.60, you'll spend $9.20 in total. Casuarina should taste better than this place, the coloured syrup drink is also so cheap to make. I don't see how it is worth it.
That is not a river lol.. That is a canal
The houses near kembangan MRT are the freehold property, price are ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😂. It is a very old estate in Singapore maybe 🤔 that is why there are cockroaches around.
They didnt charge you for 3 prata u didnt eat? nice
I saw you write 1. 2. 3. 4. and I went "oh shit, sure come out 10 prata".
Just 2 telur bawang and 2 kosong and 1 iced teh tarik eat until cannot stand up already. It's all just flour you know. Anyway, those prata looked terrible. Not fried for long enough.
The pratas looked good though...But guess having cockroaches running around is definitely a BIG NO NO for me. Seriously how many can one eat at one go. They wouldn't come up with this buffet if they are going to be running a loss. The most I can eat is 1 egg with onion and 1 kosong
Dang i would just take at normal prata shops which is nicer
I think Ghib is quite easily satisfied with the standard of prata. There is nothing special and the curry is terrible, so watery. Also the shop seems to give everyone plain prata to save on costs.
You hold a camera will be a different story.. 🤣
Sometimes you get what you paid for. And don't worry cockroach was inside.
go to uptown cafe

Jia you Chiba😂
Have gathering on 27, do you think I would be able to make it for 26 for the sake?😆
Might be a bit tight, but other items will arrive in time😁
