The Roti Canai I grew up eating — memory as a review
I grew up eating Roti Canai and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the bold and complex was right, pandan was handled the way it should be.
Malaysian cuisine reflects the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous Orang Asli traditions of a multicultural society. Growing up it was always a mamak 24-hour restaurant, which shaped my reference point entirely. fresh sugarcane juice alongside it is the only way it makes sense to me. It's hard to be objective about food you have emotional history with, but objectively: this is very good.
