Zam Zam Indian-Muslim House
This meal was supposed to be on Friday night but because Natasha was held up by church and her event ended so late, we postponed it to Saturday Brunch. Beside that, Bf could tag along with us too.
When it comes to Prata, our first choice will always be Jalan Kayu because this Prata house is so near to our homeland, a direct bus will bring us there. But due to Abel's comment saying that the standard of their Prata have dropped tremendously. since then we decided to change to a new place. With the aid help from burpple, Zam zam was nominated as the top 5 must try Prata house.
If you are familiar with Haji lane area, it is not difficult to find your way there to Zam Zam restaurant and in fact it is right across the oldest mosque in Singapore; Masjid SultanMuslim mosque which I believed most of the muslims would preferably dine in there after their prayers.
We headed up up their second storey as it was air-conditioned. Something that I am enlightened of. Given that we reached the place early, there are lots of food unavailable. Prata was the one missing in the menu as the assistant claimed that they will start frying prata after 12pm. Totally absurd with this! Nasi Goreng/ Nasi Lemak are not found inside the menu too!
Since then, we were sit on the area which only served Nasi Briyani and Murtabak. These are the only main dishes served at that timing. Disappointed much though.
To soothe our throat, we ordered Teh Tarik. I would say that Teh Tarik goes hand in hand with Prata. It was good, not to the sweet kind and immediately perked me up for the rest of the day. This is how powerful tea is.
Chicken Nasi Briyani ($5.50)
The Nasi Briyani was served cold ( not sure if it is because of the long waiting served on our murtabak) but the rice doesn't look tasty. The presentation was horrible. How could one covered the chicken into the pile of rice? We were pretty shocked and couldn't believe this kind of presentation are served to all customers.
Chicken/ Mutton Murtabak ($6.00)
Bf and I chose Murtabak to try since both of them ordered the same Nasi Briyani. It was told that their Murtabak was up to notch and was so well-recommended my many. This really bring up their name!
Even though we ordered the smallest portion ( they have the biggest portion which cost $17), im full after having half of it. It came in with a big portion that can be fed with two person. So worth it! They are generous with their ingredients and really stuff in lots of onion dice.
Mutton murtabak was a bit of tough and they do over-fried it till one side of the prata was burnt so if you ask me which to choose, I will still go for chicken murtabak.
Go for this if you are craving for murtabak badly (:
Singapore Zam Zam Restaurant

Mon–Sun: 8am–11pm
We didn't went back home after our brunch instead we went to catch a movie together. Caught Hunger Game-Mocking Jay and half of the time I don't know what was happening. Just blindly followed the crowd to watch the show. It has a bad review on it though because the scene ended, leaving us with full of suspense. There were lots of talking and less on acting. Let just hope that part 2 will revive the whole story line.
Happy Saturday (:
Till then
