PETALING JAYA: Roti canai from Malaysia has earned global recognition as the world's best bread, according to TasteAtlas - an international food guide website.
Touted as Malaysia's top breakfast choice, it ranked first among the "Top 50 Best Breads in the World" from around the world on the website's listing.
The roti canai was awarded a grand total of 4.9 stars, putting it on par with the second-best bread, Colombia’s pan de bono.
The Jalur Gemilang is presented next to the listing although roti canai is stated on TasteAtlas as also being available in Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.
"Roti canai, a pan-fried flatbread that is popular in Malaysia, is made with flour, water and eggs.
"The dough is folded several times to create layers, resulting in a soft, fluffy texture on the inside and a crispy outer layer," described the website.
This isn't the first time that roti canai and other Malaysian treats have been included in TasteAtlas’ lists of the best foods in the world.
Earlier, in February 2023, TasteAtlas ranked the roti canai as the second-best street food in the world.
In September 2022, TasteAtlas ranked roti canai as first among 50 others in its list of World's 50 Best Street Foods.
