Roti Canai – A Malaysian staple snack that you can find everywhere in Miri
Whether it’s Roti Canai, Roti Telur, Roti Tisu or other variants of Roti, there is no doubt that this flaky and fluffy flat bread is an all-time-favorite to all Malaysians. Luckily for us in Miri, there is an abundance of restaurants and Mamak spots serving their own versions of Roti Canai. In no particular order, these are the 8 Must-Try Roti Canai Spots in Miri that you should definitely check out!
1. D’Aroma Kafe
The Roti Canai stall located at D’Aroma Kafe was probably one of the few that sparked the Roti Jantan Banjir craze in Miri. Their plate of Roti Canai alone is delicious enough, but fill the plate with plenty of Kuah, top it with two half-cooked eggs and here you have a classic and delish plate of Malaysian breakfast. My favorite part of this dish, is the spicy dollop of sambal on top, which gives a kick to the already flavorful curry and roti. The stall that serves this Roti Jantan Banjir is only open in the morning and the place is also usually packed with people! So be sure to get there early.
