This China Muslim roti spot is pure hype with caveats, and about 80% of the mixed Google reviews are spot-on. And, I want to experience myself.
It’s tucked inside Bing Chun milk tea shop, with an open setup where customer can watch the dough being stretched and heading into the kitchen to pan fried.
While I was filming, there were flies hovering and the chefs were visibly sweating over the dough. That combo made me uneasy but also weirdly more curious.
Once done, the roti gets tossed into a simple paper bag. No cover, no frills, no protection. The cashier had a bit of an attitude, but it’s okay, I’ve dealt with worse type.
They offer 3 options: lamb, beef, and chicken. I went straight for lamb and beef. Fresh and hot, super crispy on the outside, and this things slap!
The lamb was the clear winner—strong, gamey aroma and flavourful. If you’re lamb lover, you’ll get it. Beef was fine, but forgettable in comparison.
Mr Hubby bought again after 2 weeks, and I reheated in the microwave for breakfast. Still tasty, just less crispy, which is expected. The flavour holds up, so that’s a win.
Kthxbye.
