This vending machine serves hot plain or egg prata with curry from Springleaf Prata Place
This launch is a collaboration between local halal vending machine company, One Halal Nation, and popular halal F&B chain, Springleaf Prata Place.
In a video posted to Tiktok on Jul 6 by One Halal Nation's founder and director, Amanda Atan, she said that these machines will serve freshly-pan-fried, ready-to-eat, shredded, hot roti prata in a cup, which comes with fish curry packed separately.
Customers can choose between two pieces of plain prata in each cup or one plain and one egg prata. Cutleries are also provided at the side of the machine.
According to Amanda, these cups are sealed and collected from the Springleaf Kitchen Collection Centre to be stocked up on site at around 8.30am to 9.30am daily. The vending machines are also set to a temperature of up to 65 degrees Celsius as per Singapore's Food Agency guidelines.
Amanda also shared that the vending machines are the result of three years of discussions and six months of planning to finalise approved packaging and ensure food quality.
'What y'all see as 'just another vending machine' took such a long period to get all the right people to work together and serve the community,' she said.
Springleaf Prata Place currently has nine outlets across Singapore. Apart from their eateries, they also offer catering services and prata live stations.

‘They're not souvenirs.' Hawker at ABC Brickworks says more can be done to stop utensil theft
SINGAPORE: Ray Chen, who opened Kine Burgers at ABC Brickworks Food Centre and Market just three months ago, went viral last month when he shone a light on a problem that hawkers have of people taking home their cutlery and tableware. In a June 15 Instagram post, he shared a video of a whiteboard at his stall that read: 'Dear customers, in the past 10 operating days, 41 forks and 10 plates have been stolen. As a small Singapore business promoting sustainability, we kindly request their return. Authorities will be involved soon. Thank you and God bless.' @kineburgers #stopstealingfromhawkers #kine #KineBurgers #ai #aidesign #LactoseFree #BurgerLovers #HealthyGut #SGHawkerLife #BurgerSquad #hawkerculture #burger #abchawker #hawker #newhawker #sgfoodie #foodietiktok #singapore #openingsoon #burgersg #entrepreneur #michellin ♬ Aesthetic – Tollan Kim After media outlets wrote about the issue, Mr Chen further posted about what he termed a 'nightmare' for Singapore's elderly hawkers, calling it a betrayal of the people who work long hours to serve up delicious food, day after day. 'It's not as though hawkers earn a lot,' Mr Chen told The Independent Singapore in a video interview earlier this week, when we caught up with him to ask him about the issue. He told us that the thievery has slowed down somewhat, but then Kine Burgers has made the switch to disposable forks instead of the small, elegant silver ones they originally used. These became a favoured take-home item within the first week after the stall opened in April, and the square silver plates followed soon afterwards. Photo: Screengrab from r/SingaporeRaw/user illiterate populist 'People treat them as souvenirs,' he told us wryly. When he reported the issue to the authorities, he was told there was not much that could be done. He was also advised to treat the vanishing forks and plates as part of the business' operating expenses, as this is a longstanding problem, so he should get used to it. Sometimes diners don't necessarily mean to steal, Mr Chen added. An older hawker told him about a woman who did not buy food at his stall but asked to borrow utensils, saying she'd bring them back. She never did. The police have told Mr Chen that it would be hard to identify the people who took home Kine's and other hawkers' utensils and plates, particularly since some of these items are quite small. When asked whether the mindset that hawker centre utensils can be treated like souvenirs can change, Mr Chen says he believes so. Even something as simple as the police putting up posters can serve as both a deterrent and a reminder to people to leave cutlery and tableware in hawker centres. He also feels that a few more CCTV cameras in place would be a big help as well. This hawker life That life can be difficult for hawkers can be hard for people to understand, unless they personally know some hawkers, he told TISG. 'People think we're grumpy because we don't stop to chat with customers. We work at least 12, 13 hours a day, and every minute we spend not working means less earnings for us,' the former pastry chef said, adding, 'We are busy… constantly working.' In addition, staffing is a constant challenge. Rental rates, fortunately, are still all right. Since Kine Burgers is currently under the National Environment Agency's Incubation Stall Programme, his rent is discounted. We asked the 38-year-old Mr Chen, who's about to become a first-time father in the coming weeks, if he would ever encourage his child to follow in his footsteps as a hawker. 'Only if it's her passion,' he said, 'only if it's what she wants.' /TISG Read also: 'Heartbreaking betrayal' of elderly hawkers: Stallholder calls out plate and utensil theft at ABC Brickworks
