Roti Chanai has kneaded into our menu


Have you tried Roti? You may know this from previous confrontations at street vendors of India, Malaysia or even Singapore. Roti in Malay, translates to bread, where Chanai is to 'knead'. The Roti dough is twirled until it is a thin sheet, folded then cooked to create a hot round flatbread served with warm dahl or curry. A famous breakfast or lunch meal at the Mamak stalls of Malaysia. Try our original Roti Chanai or our Roti telur bawang (egg and onion) served with chicken curry or vegetable dahl garnished with a fresh slice of avocado.

Otherwise, go for the 'Murtabak,' a folded egg bread, filled with meat, potato and onion. A meal originally found in Saudi Arabia (especially the Hejaz region), Yemen, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei.
