Jalan Kayu is a low-rise stretch of shophouses in Seletar, best known for its roadside roti prata shops: Thasevi Food is listed as open 24 hours and Thohirah stays open into the early morning. Most eateries sit in a short run between about 235 and 277 Jalan Kayu, so you can walk the whole strip: prata and Indian-Muslim food, Tang Tea House's halal dim sum, Selegie Soya Bean's tau huay, a long-running otah maker, prawn noodles, and cafes and Western restaurants such as Apricus, Spizza and Jerry's BBQ & Grill. Prices run from under $1 for an otah to $20-$25 for mains at the cafes. The area is not near an MRT station, so most people come by car, taxi or bus, and suppertime is the busiest time for the prata shops.
