- Roti canai is a flatbread that originated in India and has spread to Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and Singapore, where it is cherished in a variety of forms. It is characterized by a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. Typically enjoyed as an accompaniment to curry, it can also be served as a dessert with sweet sauces. The sweetness you experienced at SM City Baguio in Baguio is an example of regional taste innovation, offering a profound flavor that blends sweetness and spice. The preparation involves repeatedly folding and kneading the dough and cooking it with butter, which is the secret to its texture. Contemplating sweetness is like exploring the bittersweetness of life rather than the norms of cuisine. I envy how you can indulge without gaining weight; perhaps overthinking sweets is a more serious hobby than calorie counting!
