Description
When I lived in Malaysia I got totally addicted to Roti, plain ones, Roti Telur (egg), Roti Pisang (banana) and this Roti Nangka (jackfruit). I eat them almost every day where I pair the savoury ones with Fried Chicken or just a simple sambal and for the sweet ones I have them for desserts.
