I visit Ah Mei Cafe at level 2 often. I usually order prata and it comes with a small plate of curry for your order. The curry is refillable upon request. The curry is really very rich in spices. It leaves your tongue with a kind of good stinging feeling after every spoonful of curry. It is a bit spicy, therefore those people who avoid spicy food may not want to try it. Sometimes, when you are lucky, the curry will have pieces of fish meat.
Pricing: Each plain prata cost around $0.60 and it gets more expensive as you order other types ( for example egg, onion). It is definitely price worthy.
Beware though, sometimes the prata man goes for a break. If you are caught in this situation, you will have to wait around 20 minutes for your prata to be served.

Ah Mei Cafe at Ang Mo Kio Hub caught my attention due to the crowds of people queueing up for it!
Initially I was at AMK Hub for a movie. After the movie, we were walking around the shopping centre, doing some window shopping at the same time. It was then that we realised that a crowd was gathering outside this cafe that was situated at the middle aisle of the level, in between the two rows of shops.
On a closer look, we realised that it was Ah Mei Cafe. By it's name, we thought that it served only chinese food, however when we looked at the menu, we realised that it sold malay and indian food like nasi bryani and roti prata. Apart from these food, a large variety of drinks commonly sold at the coffeeshop were also sold there.
Looking at the crowds, we decided to try it out. But in the end, we had to wait for about half an hour before we got a seat. For your information, there were only about 10 tables surrounding the cafe, seating maybe a maximum of 30 plus people at one time. So we actually only got a table of 4 after standing and waiting beside people who were still eating. That was in fact a little embarrassing because it felt like we were hurrying them. However, everybody there seemed to be aware of the limited spaces so we did not have to wait even longer. We were really thankful when we finally got the seats.
When we settled down, we ordered food - pratas ( plain and egg) and nasi bryani (chicken) and drinks - teh o, iced mocha, kopi o and teh susu. The nasi bryani and drinks could be collected upon ordering and the portion was rather big, with a jumbo leg included. However we had to wait for the pratas but the aunties at the stall were very nice and so made our wait easier. The stall also had an automated queue signboard, so you could go back to your table first and not loiter around the area waiting.
The pratas were large however the flour was rather thick so there was less crisp and fluff, as compared to the other pratas I've eaten. However it was still of acceptable standard as I finished 3 of them at one sitting. Not forgetting the price that I paid for them ($1.60 for 2 pratas), it was still worthwhile.
On the whole, we had a filling and inexpensive dinner. Although it would have been much better if there was more seating, so that people would be able to sit around longer and have chats without feeling rushed or embarrassed.
