Roti john
Roti john is a Malaysian street sandwich where spiced minced beef meets egg-soaked bread. What makes it distinctive is the technique of dipping the entire baguette into beaten egg before pan-frying, creating a custardy, golden exterior that cradles the savory filling. The chilli heat cuts through richness from the mayo and egg, while the bread's crispy outside yields to soft, almost custard-like layers within. It's efficient street food engineering that yields genuine textural reward.
