Fresh from the fryer, these balloon-like breads at Restoran Roti Puri in Bangi are worth waking up early for

Restoran Roti Puri, located in Bandar Baru Bangi, is a highly-regarded eatery known for its beloved roti puri and kuah. The shop, with its bright blue exterior, attracts both locals and visitors with its single-minded focus on this one dish. Regulars often take home large quantities of the soft, pillowy bread to enjoy throughout the day, whether it's for an early morning breakfast or a teatime treat.

The roti puri is made using refined flour, yeast, sugar, and margarine, setting it apart from the traditional Indian poori. Upon arrival, the size of the breads is quite impressive, nearly palm-sized, and their high domed shape is a result of the yeast and margarine used in the dough. Once fried, the dough inflates beautifully, creating a remarkably soft and chewy interior that pairs perfectly with a spoonful of kuah.

Kuah is a mildly spicy gravy with hidden vegetables, and it's the perfect accompaniment to the roti puri. Those who prefer a spicier option can try kari kambing or sambal sardin. The shop also serves other local delicacies like roti jala, lontong, and nasi lemak, but the star of the show remains the roti puri. The shop, No. 14A, Jalan 3/70, Seksyen 3, is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30am to 3pm, Saturday and Sunday from 7:30am to 12pm, and closed on Fridays.
