Thanks to Xiaohongshu, visitors are flocking to KL’s mamak stalls, eager to snap photos with this towering, crispy treat.
The taller, the better
A viral TikTok video recently captured a tourist dramatically taking a bite from an oversized roti tisu while her friend held it up like a prized trophy.
Meanwhile, almost every table had a roti tisu, with tourists eagerly posing as their partners snapped photos for them.
“Must be Xiaohongshu suggestion 🤭”
“Is this their first time eating roti tisu or what?”
“In Sabah, it’s Maybank. In KL, it’s roti tisu. No idea what’s next.”
Malaysia’s latest food trend?
A quick scroll through Xiaohongshu shows that this isn’t just a one-off trend—tourists are sharing that eating roti tisu in KL is a must-do and have been posing with it.
Many pose with it like a national landmark, some even comparing its height to themselves.
