Customers prefer roti canai over food like mixed rice as it is cheaper, said a restaurant owner.
Checks at several 24-hour eateries found that roti canai has become an increasingly popular option among the lunch crowd over the past few years.
He said: “After the Covid-19 movement control order was implemented, there was an increase in customers requesting roti canai at lunchtime.“The customers said they prefer flat bread over mixed rice because it is much cheaper.” A manager at one of the restaurants, who wanted to be known only as Rafi, said customers favoured roti canai over other items such as nasi kandar due to the price difference.
“The Health Ministry also encourages the people to keep to a balanced diet or ‘suku-suku-separuh’ or 3S dietary recommendation,” said Mr Ling.
