Anyone ever try these? http://www.jenzcorner.com/gallery/rotiboy.jpg

It's 11:30 at night and I'm starving for them. Oh God... I want one now.

I tried the one in Hongdae, and it is really, really good. It's fairly popular, so I wasn't surprised when a shop around the corner called "Rottipapa" or "Papa Rotti" that serves the exact same kind of thing opened up.

Are the two related? Or is it just another example of a K-biz poaching on another?

man, i know, we are all addicted to em here. they're like crack.

i love the way they have a claim for 'well being' on their poster too. (apparently because it's made with butter and not margarine.) so they're good for you.

buttermilk is the best. I always have one and a caramel machiatto whenever i'm at ewha women's uni. They are always out of the buttermilk though....grrr

Roti are from Malaysia me thinks. Equal opportunity ripping off.

When I walked by the store a few weeks ago, I first thought it was Caribbean-style roti...then came the big let-down.
I would kill for some of THAT roti right now!

yeah, one just opened on my town, and whlie it was being built, there was just a sign. I spent a couple of days regaling my wife with how good they were and how I used to eat a giant roti every day from a shop by Christie Pits in Toronto back in the day.

Although this chain is from Malaysia, this is nothing like rotis I've had there or India. They're good, but I could really go for a roti paratha.

you'll find about 4 or 5 in downtown (Daegu).

I know there is one near Coffee Bean and there is one down the road from Academy cinema...and there's one in the Lotte Building with the CGV cinema inside.

Can anyone describe the taste?

All I've read so far is butter and bread.

So, its gloried buttered toast?
