‘I would actually have been happy if this cookbook only included the secrets to their roti canai, dal and kangkung belacan. But the book goes far beyond those dishes, and I want to dive face first into every recipe.’

Filled with the secrets behind the iconic London restaurant’s most desired dishes, along with evocative stories of the journey each recipe has taken across continents to arrive on that menu. The bold flavours and colourful photography transport you directly to the streets of Malaysia with a promise of epic deliciousness at every turn. I loved it!

As a fan since its earliest days, it's a joy to see the spirit of Roti King and Sugen's wonderful cooking captured so vividly. The taste and fragrance of his dishes shimmer from every page.

Roti King isn’t just about food; it’s about heritage, love, and the power of bringing people together through flavour. Every plate tells a story, and with each bite, you’re tasting a piece of history.
