Roti canai makers flock to Singapore

MALAYSIA’S roti canai tops the list as the best bread in the world by the online travel guide Taste Atlas that promotes traditional food worldwide.

Mamak restaurants have been facing difficulties getting roti canai makers since the opening of the borders between Malaysia and Singapore on April 1, 2022,’’ he said.

Hussein said the majority of them had waited patiently for the reopening of the borders between the two countries during the Covid-19 pandemic to cross over to Singapore to work at eateries selling roti canai or known as roti parata in the republic.

He said the daily wage for a roti canai maker in Johor Baru was between RM80 and RM90. However, although the sum was good for those who did not excel academically, locals were not keen to take up the job.

According to Hussein, a roti canai maker working at a hawker centre in Singapore is paid S$50 (RM171) daily, while experienced roti canai makers working at Indian restaurants can command between S$70 and S$100 (RM240 and RM343).

“Majority of roti canai makers working in Singapore are Malaysians as Singaporeans, like their Malaysian counterparts, are not interested in the job,’’ added Hussein.

Is Roti Canai Fattening?

Roti canai is not exactly friendly to your waistline.

It’s made from flour and a lot of ghee, as it’s necessary to create layers of flaky and moist dough. When the amount of oil being used is too little, the dough will turn out to be hard and dry.

Not only is roti high in carbohydrates and fat, but it has also been linked to adverse health issues such as obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease2.
