The "bird's nest" name isn't just a catchy title - it perfectly captures the dish's unique shape! Unlike traditional flat and round roti canai, the dough for this dish is skillfully stretched and folded into a mesmerizing ring, resembling a bird's nest. This technique not only adds to its visual appeal but also creates a delightful "nest" that cradles two sunny-side-up eggs, evoking the image of chicks nestled together.

The sweet and spicy sambal is like a vibrant thread woven through the dish. It perfectly complements the richness of the eggs and the deep savory notes of the curry, creating a symphony of tastes on your tongue. Every bite is a burst of excitement, a true testament to the skill behind this dish.

A visually stunning and texturally interesting roti canai that's sure to tantalize your taste buds.

Beyond the roti canai, they also offer a variety of savory dishes for a complete meal. Pile your plate high with a selection of flavourful options. Craving something hearty? They have steaming bowls of noodles and rice. Or, if you're feeling peckish, indulge in their selection of fried snacks perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up.
