Vending machines have come a long way from simply dispensing canned drinks.

Nowadays, you can grab everything from .

So perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that one particular vending machine, located at the Lion City Sailors Football Academy along Mattar Road, is able to dispense one of Singapore's favourite breakfast items — roti prata.

This innovative initiative is a collaboration between One Halal Nation, a company known for its halal-certified vending machines, and established local F&B chain Springleaf Prata Place.

One Halal Nation's founder and director Amanda Atan took to TikTok last Sunday (July 6) to share the announcement.

She revealed that the launch came after three years of discussions and six months of planning to finalise the approved packaging and ensure food quality.

In the caption, Amanda wrote: "I am humbly requesting for everyone here to please send your prayers and well-wishes for this unique collaboration to be another successful story."

As for the food itself, customers can choose between two menu items: two plain prata or one plain prata and one egg prata.

At the time of writing, pricing details have yet to be announced.

What we do know, however, is that the prata from the vending machine will be served hot and ready to eat.

The prata is freshly prepared and packaged at the Springleaf Kitchen Collection Centre, before it is sealed and delivered daily to the vending machine which is stocked every morning between 8.30am and 9.30am, Amanda shared.

Each cup of prata comes with a small portion of fish curry for all your dipping (or dunking) purposes.

And for those less comfortable with using your hands to eat, cutlery is provided at the side of the vending machine.

Amanda noted that satay sticks were not allowed as an alternative for utensils by Singapore Food Agency.
