Touted as Malaysia’s top breakfast choice, it ranked first among the “Top 50 Best Breads” from around the world on the website’s listing.
Roti canai was awarded a grand total of 4.9 stars, putting it on par with the No 2 bread, Colombia’s pan de bono.
Malaysia’s national flag is presented next to the listing in the ranking although TasteAtlas states roti canai is also available in Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.
“Roti canai, a pan-fried flatbread that is popular in Malaysia, is made with flour, water and eggs,” the website says.
“The dough is folded several times to create layers, resulting in a soft, fluffy texture on the inside and a crispy outer layer.”
This isn’t the first time that roti canai and other Malaysian treats have been included in TasteAtlas’ lists of the best foods in the world.
