A dish that tells its story — Roti Canai reviewed

You can taste history in Roti Canai if you know what to look for. Malaysian cuisine reflects the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous Orang Asli traditions of a multicultural society. The sweet-savoury balance character reflects those layers — curry leaves doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a Baba Nyonya Peranakan restaurant setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Anchor beer alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Roti Canai, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
