Heavy on carbs and nowadays almost exclusively fried with vegetable oil or margarine (Planta), I seldom indulge in roti canai / prata now. (I can't find any place in Singapore or Malaysia that fry their roti with ghee or clarified butter anymore.)

Saha KSK Roti Canai Lido @ Johor Jaya Square Jalan Dedap 14 丽都煎饼
This is one of my occasional breakfast places in JB.
It's not going to blow many minds but hey this is simple, comfort staple food, a blessing we can enjoy and appreciate everyday. Nevertheless, this is the favourite roti canai stall of many people in Johor and is one of mine too.
Tahir Roti Canai @ Warung Jalan Lembing in Taman Sri Tebrau, Johor Bahru
Uncle Bob has been raving about the roti prata stall at Warung Jalan Lembing in Taman Sri Tebrau. This roti prata stall has also popped up regularly on my social media feeds. I finally made it here today. Yay 😄
Roti Canai / Prata Stall @ Kheng Guan Hiong Kopitiam in Pontian
Buddy John wanted to get his Kheng Guan Hiong Pontian kopi fix. While at the coffee shop, the huge white sheet of roti canai / prata dough caught my eye. Experience tells me that the wider and thinner the roti dough is stretched, the nicer the roti prata will be.
Rosli Roti Canai (Prata) @ Tmn Ungkul Tun Animah Block 59 Hawker Centre
Seven years into Johor Kaki blog, I still find that hitting the road, pounding the streets combined with good luck work best for me in find dining. This morning, I was lucky to stumble upon Rosli Roti Canai at the hawker centre at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah Block 59.
Taiping Sepetang Roti Prata. One of JB Best Roti Canai
I eat roti prata (known as roti canai in Malaysia) often as roti prata stalls are everywhere in Singapore and Malaysia. I rarely return to any particular stall as most roti prata stalls are good enough and few really stand out from the rest. But, the roti parta stall at Taiping Sepetang coffee shop in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah is one which I would return to when I am in the area.

Best Roti Prata Canai Places in JB Johor Bahru
Singaporeans love their roti prata (known as roti canai in Malaysia). That's why many were up in arms when roti prata was missing from the Bib Gourmand Awards from the inaugural 2016 Michelin Guide Singapore.
Across the Causeway, roti canai is a big thing in JB too - the Indian staple is at every street corner warung, restoran and 24-hour Mamak shop. One of the most popular is at Restoran Selera Selatan.
Johor Jaya Rosmerah 2/13 的印度煎饼好松脆, 又不油腻。沾了甜辣带香的咖喱和 sambal 更加好吃。可说是新山最受欢迎的印度煎饼之一。朋友们不妨试试。
Murtabak Majid Special Cheese No. 1 Kampung Kurnia Johor Bahru
Seeing the buzz on social media about Johor Baru's unique murtabak cheese got me all excited to give it a try. So we quickly came to Murtabak Majid Special Cheese No. 1 in Kampung Kurnia. This is the shop which invented this special murtabak.
Restoran Selera Selatan has JB's Best Roti Canai (Prata)? Rosmerah 马来煎饼 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ☏ +607 364 7441
✍ 18 Jun 2025. Met up with buddy yesterday in JB. He's away from JB for a while and missed the Malay roti canai at Johor Jaya Rosmerah.
Yeah, in Johor there's Indian roti canai, Chinese roti canai and Malay roti canai. In Malaysia and Singapore, food binds people with community variations of the same dish.

Johor Roti Canai (Prata) Selection
Roti Canai (known as Prata in Singapore) is a popular comfort food in Malaysia and Singapore. Personally, I like my roti thick, made up of many folds, with the outer layers crisp and thin while the inner layers remain slightly softer and chewy. To me, good roti is fluffy with very little, if any trace of oil. I also like my roti canai to come with full bodied spicy curry. Some of my makan kakis like their roti to be thin and crispy throughout, almost like a large layered biscuit. My dad likes to drown his roti in curry, let it soak in the curry for a while, and then eat the spicy, soft, soggy bread. So, to each his own roti :)) Here are my favourites in Johor (there are plenty more that I have yet to explore).
Selera Selatan in Taman Johor Jaya, Rosmerah is one of those rare roti canai shops where the good roti is matched with great curries. Enche Loy the owner spreads his dough really wide, and I guess there must be 10 folds in his roti. Selera Selatan's roti is thick, with the outside crispy while the inside is chewy and still moist. Selera Selatan's curries are made with lots of ingredients and spices, so they are robust and full bodied. Selera Selatan also serves their roti with nasi lemak style sambal chili with anchovies.
Bukit Chagar roti canai is the favourite of many from Johor, and also Singapore as the stall is just a stone's throw from the JB CIQ. I like Bukit Chagar's roti too because it is thick with the outside crispy while the inside is tender. Bukit Chagar's roti canai would be perfect for me, if their curry is also robust and full bodied.
Mohd Salleh's roti canai in Taman Pelangi is the regular breakfast of many JBrians. Moistier and softer than the roti of Selera Selatan and Bukit Chagar, it is also one my of my favourites. Not overly crispy, Mohd Salleh's roti has a unique texture and pleasant mouth feel. The curry though is rather ordinary. It is best to be at Mohd Salleh at peak hours like during breakfast to get the roti straight off the frying pan.

Restoran Selera Selatan in Rosmerah, Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Bahru, Malaysia
This roti canai (prata) at Restoran Selera Selatan in the Rosmerah area of Taman Johor Jaya was recommended by my friend Sally Wong on Johor Yummy Facebook group.
This is the most balanced roti canai stall that I have come across, so far. Frequently, roti canai stalls either have good roti or good curry. Seldom are both the roti and curry equally good. Some of my favourites have great roti but would have been perfect, if their curry was just as good.
Breakfast at Roti Canai (Prata) Bukit Chagar • Johor Bahru ⭐⭐⭐⭐
✍ 4 Dec 2022. You know... one of my favourite places to hangout while waiting to pick up my buddies at the JB CIQ is the roti canai (prata) stall at Bukit Chagar. Standing by here with my roti canai and teh tarik, it takes me just 3 minutes to reach them once they messaged me that they have cleared JB immigration. The wait is very agreeable as Bukit Chagar's roti canai is so delicious (one of Johor Bahru's best).
Stall name: Bukit Chagar Roti Canai
Address: 394, Jalan Tengku Azizah, Bukit Chagar, 80300 Johor Bahru

Chinese Roti Prata (Roti Canai) @ Shyang 详 Kopitiam in Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Bahru
Shyang 详 kopitiam in Taman Johor Jaya is one of the rare Chinese run roti prata shops in Johor Bahru. The other ones that I have tried are in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah (TUTA) and Jalan Seroja, Johor Jaya.
Roti Prata (Roti Canai)📍Restoran Md. Salleh in Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru
Restoran Md. Salleh, now located in this unpretentious looking shop in Taman Pelangi, has been around for over 20 years. It sells nasi campur and mee goreng but is best known for its roti prata (also known as roti canai). To the many fans of Md. Salleh's, this is the best roti prata / roti canai in Johor Bahru.
It is Md. Salleh's famous roti prata that packs in the crowd at its daily golden hour which is breakfast time.
Chinese Roti Canai (Roti Prata) @ Min Tong Vegetarian Restaurant in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, Johor Bahru
This is the first time I am posting an entry on roti canai (or roti prata as it is known in Singapore).
Roti prata is one of my favourite comfort foods but I am very picky about where I eat it as roti prata is saturated with calories and cholesterol. At middle age, I can't afford to make a mistake here, as any bad choice will burst my calorie and cholesterol quota in vain.
Before I make that crucial decision to eat at a stall, I will observe the roti prata making process and examine the end product. I will skip the stall if the dough is too oily or if the roti is not crispy and dry enough.
Today, I spotted a roti prata stall that I am finally willing to eat in. It is a humble looking stall in Min Tong vegetarian restaurant at the ground level of the row of flats along Jalan Pendeka 1 in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah.
This is the crispiest piece of prata that I have ever eaten so far. It is so flaky that flakes keep falling off as I was eating it.
Personally I felt that the vegetarian curry, made mostly of chickpeas with curry spices, lacks robustness and body. Not much kick there for me.
Nevertheless, this prata is outstanding. I'll bring friends here to join me in marvelling at this crispiest roti prata. If you are on a vegetarian diet, this prata is a must try ☻
