RM2.50 roti kukus full of oozing chocolate & kaya butter sells out in 3 hours

In case you grew up consuming roti kukus (steamed buns) dipped in curry, you then would know the enjoyment of a heat, fluffy bread. Nonetheless, most lately, one roti kukus stall, Roti Wap Bangi in Selangor has been garnering viral consideration on social media and for a superb motive— the freshly steamed buns are flooded with candy fillings like chocolate and cookies and cream! 

The roti kukus bought at Roti Wap Bangi is so widespread that it sells out in lower than 3 hours, and you may assure you’ll be in for a protracted queue. Curious, I obtained into my automobile and made the hour-long drive to Bangi and boy, regardless of arriving 10 minutes proper after the stall had opened, there was already a queue of hungry clients. 

What I attempted at Roti Wap Bangi

The fillings for the roti kukus are available 4 indulgent flavours: Kaya Butter, Crunchy Chocolate, Cookies Cream and their best-seller, Milk Chocolate. Sadly, the highly-desired Milk Chocolate filling was sold-out the very day earlier than my arrival. Alas! All of the extra motive to drown my sorrows in sweets (and to return to strive that out).

You may get an particular person roti kukus with the filling of your selection for RM2.50 however I like to recommend the 3 piece set (RM7) as a result of this manner, you get to strive extra flavours and it’s extra inexpensive. But when 3 items don’t do your candy tooth justice, double it with the 6 piece set at simply RM12. 

It’s fascinating watching the employees dish out the roti kukus. The second a buyer locations an order, the employees uncovers the steamer basket and removes the fluffy roti kukus earlier than putting it right into a plastic container. Every roti kukus is then flooded with a beneficiant quantity of filling.

After I picked up every particular person bun, I used to be stunned at how mild it was. The buns have been heat to the touch and the wells within the centre of every bun contained a beneficiant quantity of oozy, flowy filling. I completely liked the feel and style of the roti kukus— its pillowy gentle and fluffy texture.

I began off with Kaya Butter. Actually, I used to be trying ahead to the opposite flavours however this surprisingly ended up being my favorite. The kaya had a wealthy, creamy coconut style and luscious texture, and complemented the butter effectively. I feel the rationale I liked this a lot was as a result of it jogged my memory of my childhood when the roti man would come on his motorbike and serve up his 60 cent kaya and butter buns. 

Subsequent was the Crunchy Chocolate. The chocolate filling tasted just like the processed, store-bought varieties and I personally felt this was a bit too candy for my style buds. However I did benefit from the crunchy bits within the chocolate because it gave the filling a extra satisfying texture. 

I admit I had some difficulties with the ultimate roti kukus. The nice and cozy bread had prompted the Cookies Cream filling to develop into tremendous flowy, virtually like a liquid, as in comparison with its regular creamy, thick texture. This meant as a substitute of staying put within the bun, the filling selected to as a substitute stream into the plastic container. So what was left within the bun was a smidgen of filling. Nonetheless, I may nonetheless style the milky candy cream with cookie crumbs which paired superbly with the gentle and fluffy white bread. 

Closing ideas

In case you’ve obtained a candy tooth that wants satisfying, Roti Wap Bangi’s candy, creamy fillings will certainly do the trick. Nonetheless, I wanted the buns might be bought with out the filling as a result of the gentle, fluffy texture can be good to mop up piping sizzling hen curry or lamb keema. 

In case you plan on swinging by, simply remember to begin queuing as quickly as they open in any other case you may return dwelling empty-handed. Don’t say I didn’t let you know so!
