Roti John is a delicious Malaysian street food!
Best to describe Roti John, it is a beef-egg/ omelette open sandwich.

Roti John is easy to make and a quick fix to curb your sudden craving for something light yet satisfying bite.
Make it in the comfort of your home.

Roti means Bread in Malay and Hindi.
Street food was made famous in the eighties.
Someone came up with the idea of having mincemeat mix with egg, spread on bread, and cook on a hot griddle or skillet.

How the name 'Roti John' came about… your guess is as good as mine.
Perhaps Mr Google will gladly search and tell you.
