About PRALET

PRALET is a second-generation run deli+bakery on Eng Hoon Street in Tiong Bahru, founded in 2006 and known for its well-balanced sourdough sandwiches and the fluffiest square-shaped donuts in the neighbourhood. The team's philosophy is balance — between flavour and nutrition, affordability and quality — delivering premium quality food at prices designed for everyday life.

The donuts are the headline act: square, hand-crafted, filled and glazed with balance in mind, and made from Daisy, the bakery's 16-year-old sourdough starter. Not too sweet and never boring, they come in flavours like Burnt Butter Honey Glazed, Pistachio Raspberry Crunch, Lemon Cremeux and Cinnamon Sugar. Sandwiches built on house-made sourdough layer flavour, texture and craft into everyday combinations worth craving.

Drinks are just as considered: coconut-based smoothies made with 100% fruit and house-made coconut yogurt are 100% vegan, with no added sugar and a probiotic boost. Beyond the counter, PRALET caters baby sourdough sandwiches and mini donuts for meetings and gatherings, delivers through GrabFood, Foodpanda and Oddle Eats, and even publishes a storage and reheat guide so every donut gets eaten at its fluffin' best.

Pralet Tiong Bahru: Square Sourdough Donuts, Balanced Sandwiches and a 16-Year-Old Starter Named Daisy

On Eng Hoon Street, in the low-rise shophouse quarter of Tiong Bahru, PRALET runs a deli+bakery with a very particular obsession: balance. The name sits behind some of the neighbourhood's most recognisable bites — square sourdough donuts with an unreasonably fluffy crumb, hearty sandwiches built on house-made sourdough, and coconut-based smoothies that happen to be entirely plant-based. Founded in 2006 and now run by its second generation, PRALET has spent nearly two decades refining an idea that sounds simple and is anything but: take the classics people already know and love, and make them better through craft, balance and bold character.

A philosophy you can taste

PRALET describes itself as more than food — it's a philosophy of balance, between flavour and nutrition, affordability and quality, and in how the team lives and connects as a community. In practice, that means premium quality food at prices designed for everyday life. Nothing here is trying to be fancy for its own sake. It is relatable, honest food made with obvious care, where every element is tuned so no single note overwhelms the rest. That ethos has kept a neighbourhood bakery relevant long enough for the next generation to take the reins — and keep pushing the classics forward.

Meet Daisy, the starter behind the square donut

The signature act is the donut: square, cheeky and, in the bakery's own words, a little addictive. Each one is hand-crafted, filled and glazed with balance in mind — not too sweet, never boring, and always, in PRALET's tagline, fluffin' good. The not-so-secret weapon is Daisy, a 16-year-old sourdough starter that gives the dough its featherlight texture.

The line-up runs from Burnt Butter Honey Glazed and Pistachio Raspberry Crunch to Lemon Cremeux, Triple Choc Crunch and Cinnamon Sugar, plus Fairy Dust — a flavour that goes by Flossy Bossy across the border in Thailand. A telling detail: PRALET publishes a full storage and reheat guide, because a good donut deserves to be eaten at its best. Glazed ones get a minute and a half in the airfryer at 180°C; crunch-topped ones get a short, careful blast in the microwave.

Sandwiches and smoothies, built the same way

The sourdough behind the donuts also anchors the sandwich menu. PRALET's sandwiches are built on house-made sourdough and crafted for balance — every bite layers flavour, texture and craft, turning the everyday sandwich into something worth craving. Hearty, honest and full of character is how the team describes them, and it fits.

Alongside them come the smoothies: made with 100% fruit and PRALET's house-made coconut yogurt, they are creamy, refreshing and entirely plant-based — 100% vegan, with no added sugar, and naturally rich in probiotics thanks to that fermented coconut base. It's a quietly thoughtful order for anyone skipping dairy.

From office trays to Christmas boxes

PRALET's food also travels well. Catering is built around baby sourdough sandwiches and mini donuts that, as the site puts it, melt hearts — crafted fresh for parties, meetings and year-end gatherings. The partners and clients on its page include the likes of Visa, Spotify, TikTok, Uniqlo, Laneige, ClassPass and PwC, which tells you those trays show up everywhere from boardrooms to brand launches.

Come the holidays, the bakery leans into gifting with its Mini Festive Donuts Celebration Box: 12 mini donuts in three bold flavours — Pistachio Raspberry Crunch, Burnt Butter Honey with Caramelised Hazelnuts, and Strawberry White Chocolate Crunch — available from 26 November 2025, pitched squarely at parties, client gifting and year-end gatherings.
