Roti tissue

Roti tissue, also known as roti tisu or tissue prata, is a delectable sweet flatbread commonly found at Malaysian Mamak stalls. Imagine it as a thinner, crispier version of the traditional roti canai, but with a unique twist—it resembles a large, round piece of tissue!

Creating roti tissue is an art form. The dough is stretched and spun until it becomes incredibly thin, then cooked until it reaches a crispy perfection. What makes it especially charming is the creative touch each maker brings, rendering every piece distinctively unique.

Roti tissue is most frequently served at Mamak stalls in Malaysia and Singapore, where it is enjoyed with sweet toppings such as sugar or kaya (coconut jam). For an extra indulgence, some places even offer it with a scoop of ice cream.

In Indonesia, roti tissue has also gained popularity as a beloved street food, particularly in areas with significant Malay and Indian-Indonesian communities. It stands as a delicious testament to the rich culinary traditions shared across these regions.
