[Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia] Meat-filled buns from Mon Chinese Beef Roti

[klyeoh (Peter)]

Queued an hour for fried Chinese-Muslim beef-filled buns at the hyper-popular 3-month-old 𝗠𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗶 in Bukit Bintang this morning.

The wait is okay as, 8 weeks ago, Singapore food blogger, Bruce Mathieu, came about the same time as I did (8.30am in the morning) and had to queue 1.5 hours for his rotis!

Love the beef-filled rotis: crisp golden-brown spiraled layer, enclosing lightly-flavored, faintly cumin-scented minced beef and scallion filling. The chefs all looked like Uighurs from Xinjiang.

Looks like the cousin of the “burger” I had at a Xian place in Manhattan a short while ago, though mine was not as brown (deep fried?)

Walked by Bites of Xian right as I was wondering what to eat. Ordered a Crispy Burger, which turned out to be a scallion pancake-type pancake without scallions which they slice open to create a pocket, put in a scoop of your chosen meat and flatten to compress. I added some chilli oil. A very tasty bite. Didn’t have any room for dumplings or noodles or other offerings, but I’ll go back. Looked it up later, and it seems to be a mini chain. [image] [image]

Griddle-cooked … in loads of oil! Yes, they would be related to that Xian place.
