'As a fan since its earliest days, it's a joy to see the spirit of Roti King and Sugen's wonderful cooking captured so vividly. The taste and fragrance of his dishes shimmer from every page.'  – Marina O'Loughlin

‘Roti King isn’t just about food; it’s about heritage, love, and the power of bringing people together through flavour. Every plate tells a story, and with each bite, you’re tasting a piece of history.’  – Big Zuu

In this epic celebration of Malaysian cuisine, Roti King serves up the long-awaited recipes for some of their most popular menu dishes, alongside the food that has shaped their journey from a roadside café in Buntong, Ipoh, to a cult London restaurant.

 
Inspired by Malaysia’s vibrant street-food culture and the home-cooked classics of his childhood, Sugen Gopal shares recipes for Roti King favourites, such as delicious Dal, Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken, and of course, the flaky, legendary Roti Canai, as well as rice and noodle-heavy heroes.
 
Venture to the heart of Malaysia’s food scene, with photography from the country’s night markets and hawker stalls and recipes for everything from ridiculously good rendangs to showstopping sambals. Cook your way through these iconic dishes at home and discover the secrets, flavours and vibrancy of Malaysian food and its neighbouring influences. You’ll find yourself coming back to Roti King again and again.

‘I would actually have been happy if this cookbook only included the secrets to their roti canai, dal and kangkung belacan. But the book goes far beyond those dishes, and I want to dive face first into every recipe.’ -- Ed Smith
Filled with the secrets behind the iconic London restaurant’s most desired dishes, along with evocative stories of the journey each recipe has taken across continents to arrive on that menu. The bold flavours and colourful photography transport you directly to the streets of Malaysia with a promise of epic deliciousness at every turn. I loved it! -- Gurdeep Loyal
