  1. Hi there,
    Sorry about the poor quality of this video. I only had access to a small point-and-shoot camera, and the lighting situation at the restaurant was horrible.

    I encountered some problems when loading footage on iMovie and had to use a PC (arggghh!!) program, Windows Movie Maker, which lacks post-production features. Sorry about the subtitles. They’re all over the place. :P

    Need to buy Final Cut Pro and a decent DV camera.

  9. Well they were serving roti tissue not roti canai… thats why its crunchy and “Taste like Corn Flakes”. Roti tissue normally has one layer, means it is not folded and they put sugar and butter to make it sweet.
    **PS, Guys u only can get the real taste of roti canai by going to malaysia.**
