Here is something fun for local Singaporeans as well as foreigners alike – prata making workshop at one of the most famous prata and curry restaurant in Singapore – Casuarina Curry Restaurant at Upper Thomson!

I think most people do not know they have such an initiative. For just S$15, you get to attend a 2-hour prata making workshop, all-you-can-eat prata and one free drink!
Next time I have foreigner friends in town, I am recommending them to try this for an alternative Singapore heartland experience. This should so be in the list of “ten must-do things in Singapore for tourists”!
Great deal right?
Rachel and I brought Asher to try this out a few weekends back:

Here is a short video of Rachel learning how to flip pratas like a pro:
The workshop was a lot of fun, especially for Asher who looks to the prata chef with admiration when he perform tricks and stunts, tossing the prata high in the air.

![Prata Scholar Workshop at Casuarina Curry Restaurant @ Upper Thomson This is how you do it like a pro](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3717/13604963353_68ec93644a_o.jpg)

The staff’s English are halting, hence please be patient. They are extremely friendly and helpful though.
There is nothing fancy in the set-up. Basically, you just knead and flip the dough on a plain table and cook them the way the staff do it at the restaurant. It adds to the overall “real-deal” experience.
At the end of the workshop, you get a certificate like this:

Best of all, you get to enjoy an all-you-can eat prata buffet after the hard work. Note that for S$15, it’s just plain prata. Top up to S$20 per pax to get choice of assorted pratas:
