About Tengah Chinese Roti Canai
Nestled in the quiet village of **Kampung Tengah, Segamat, Tengah Chinese Roti Canai (登雅茶室) is a legendary eatery famed for its super crispy roti canai and unique roti telur chili tauge (egg roti with bean sprouts and green chilies). Unlike the typical Indian-Muslim roti canai, this Chinese-owned stall offers a distinctively crunchy, flaky texture that keeps locals and travelers lining up early—often selling out by 10 AM on weekends .
Why It’s Special
- Signature Dishes:
- Roti Telur Chili Tauge: A must-try! Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, stuffed with egg, spicy green chilies, and fresh bean sprouts for a satisfying crunch .
- Plain Roti Canai: RM1.30 per piece—slightly pricier than Malay stalls but worth it for the unmatched crispiness and Chinese-style curry (less "gamey" taste) .
- **Mee Goreng**: Another crowd favorite, often ordered alongside roti .
