Roti canai is one of Malaysians’ favourite and staple meal. We all know why it’s so loved by the country – since we can have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even supper!
So besides the usual Roti Telur, Roti bom, Roti Tissue and more, here are 12 mindblowing yet tasty ones you definitely have to tick off your list.
1. Roti Sarang Burung
This roti is made by moulding the roti into a ring shape, while adding two sunny side up eggs in the middle – giving the impression of a bird’s nest.
The creation recently went viral in Kuala Kangsar, but Malaysians in the Klang Valley can shimmy their way to Shah Alam for this Roti as well.

Known as Roti Canai Merecik Special, this place uses its roti as a wrap, and fill it with egg and fried chicken. The dough is stretched thin enough so it retains its crispiness even after it’s cooked. Plus, you can even top it off with cheese and have it inside as a filling!
The dish is served with the staple dhal and sambal.
