🫓 Bread & Roti
Roti canai, roti jala, and all flatbread variations
Roti Canai
380kcalAn unleavened, laminated flatbread that's as much theatre as it is food. The mamak artisan stretches oiled dough paper-thin by spinning it with centrifugal force, folds it into layers, and slaps it onto a searing griddle where the trapped moisture flashes to steam, creating shatteringly flaky strata. Clapped between bare hands to reveal the soft, elastic interior.
