Prior to this, a popular dish in Malaysia, Roti Canai has also bagged the second spot in the top 100 best street food category! As shared over their official social media pages back in February, roti canai managed to make it in the top 3 category, only being eked out by guotie, otherwise known as pan-fried dumplings, from China for the top spot.
With the amount of food and dishes recommended by the Croatia-based experiential food guide, it’s safe to say that Malaysia is truly home to many good foods that are able to cater to everyone’s liking!
