Claimed by many to sell the best roti canai in all of Kuala Lumpur, Valentine Roti sounded like the ideal late night (after-a-few-drinks-get-something-in-your-tummy-before-you-go-to-bed-so-you-don’t-wake-up-with-a-hangover) spot. I was surprised to see at midnight on a weeknight, a number of people seated, still more arriving, and fresh roti firing full tilt off the scorching skillet. The agile Valentine himself was on deck, nimbly stretching whirling and flipping each roti into perfection. Not being able to decide on just one when faced with 30+ choices, we went with the advice of Valentine’s dad – the original roti man – and ordered: roti canai (plain); roti pisang (banana); roti telur (egg); roti Valentine (named after the man himself with mixed veg and sardines) and; roti bon (smothered with margarine and best eaten dripping with condensed milk). Different fillings put aside as I think this is a matter of personal preference, all of the roti was tissue thin yet still moist and flexible. Dealt blazing and buttery direct from griddle to table, Valentine roti got a ‘Yum’s up’ from all at our table and, checking in the following day, did a commendable job of hangover prevention too.

Just in time for Valentine's Day 🙂
Ah, been a while since I ate Valentine Roti so it is good to hear it still gets the thumbs up.
Amazing after so many years in KL and this was the first time I tried it. !
OH ahahha so the man's name is actually Valentine! OMG!! What a name!
And…. what a spot! after-a-few-drinks-get-something-in-your-tummy-before-you-go-to-bed-so-you-don't-wake-up-with-a-hangover spot!! ;)))
Aannnnnnddd…. that guy is touching the supposedly hot just fried roti off the pan! what a show!
Overall… what a post! :p
Thanks Rad 🙂 The name is pretty catchy right. I imagine after years of preparing hot hot roti, your hands must toughen up quite a bit.
When I read d title .. i tot it was a new roti for d val day… LOL…
d roti seems very good .. crispy…
Cute, good timing right? I wonder what ingredients you'd put in a Valentine roti? Chocolate and strawberries?
hmmmm chocolates n strawberry is good combination ..
Maybe some honey as well .. make it sweeter…..
wonder they can cut it into heart shape roti.. LOL
LOL… heart shaped roti with chocolate, strawberries and honey! I think you'll start a new craze 🙂
Any Valentino Roti? I've always wanted to try something similar to roti bon that you mentioned but I get cold shivers each time when I think of dipping anything into condensed milk.
Valentino roti 🙂 – what ingredients would you choose? Condensed milk – that was the best bit! 🙂 No joke, it brought back childhood memories of condensed milk sandwiches snuck while mum was not looking.
gosh, maybe enterprising malaysians should try to market 'roti canai' as hangover-preventers! imagine if bars across the world someday start serving small plates of sliced-up roti canai to drinkers, instead of peanuts 😀
Love the idea – want to start a business? Hee hee!
i like the roti man video good to see him in action
HALAL???
