Well, there's a whole new world of rotis just waiting to be discovered. Inspired by this thread on Reddit, we decided to compile a list of lesser-known roti types we came across at our local mamaks:
1. Roti Tampal

**Roti tampal** is quite similar to roti telur, except that the egg is plastered on the outside.
For more yummy goodness, order one with runny yolk (kuning cair)!
2. Roti Jantan

**Roti jantan** is essentially roti telur but with two eggs instead of one, because more eggs = more MAN.
3. Roti Banjir
Roti canai (or roti kosong, as some people like to call it) is shredded into bite-sized pieces and then completely flooded with curry or dhal.

4. Roti Tsunami

Levelling up from roti banjir, **roti tsunami** is served with two soft-boiled eggs.
5. Roti Maggi

**Roti maggi** happens when you open up the magical roti kosong bag to discover piping hot Maggi goreng within.
The roti maggi depicted in the photo above is available at Roshida Mamak Stall @ Jalan Besar, Seri Kembangan (opposite Restoran 33).
6. Roti Scrambled

One of [Murni Discovery](http://www.murnidiscovery.com/our-outlets.html)'s many wacky 'roti' variants, **roti scrambled** is basically roti kosong wrapped burrito-style around a mixture of minced chicken, eggs, and sausages with mayonnaise dressing.
**Note:** The rest of the items in this list are from Murni's eye-opening 'Roti' menu.
7. Roti Beckham

Obviously named after one of the hottest footballers of our time, **roti Beckham** is stuffed with tuna, eggs, cheese, and turkey slices topped with mayonnaise dressing.
We have no idea how the ingredients can be associated with David Beckham though. Let us know if you have a theory. Here's a photo of the hunk for reference:

8. Roti Hawaii

**Roti Hawaii** is roti kosong stuffed with either minced chicken or beef, cheese, sausages, and pineapple topped with mayonnaise dressing.
9. Roti Jepun

We expected wasabi to be in there somewhere but sadly, it isn't. Instead, **roti Jepun** is stuffed with eggs, margarine, cheese, and milk.
10. Roti Sweet Forever

Yes, that's its legitimate name. **Roti Sweet Forever** is essentially roti kosong with bits of corn scattered within and then topped with two scoops of ice cream and a sprig of mint.
11. Roti Fujima

Roti pisang is elevated to **roti Fujima** simply by serving it in stacks of quartered roti pisang topped with two scoops of ice cream.
