Hailing from Penang myself, I'm no stranger to these crispy on the outside while fluffy and soft in the inside Roti Benggali. Available in 4 flavors, original, wholemeal, chocolate and charcoal, Roti Benggali is the best roti bakar in Malaysia using original traditional recipe since 1928.

Roti Benggali actually derives its name from “Panggali” which means “Shareholders”. A group of shareholders started the business together and named the bread Roti Panggali or bread shareholders in 1932. Local residents mispronounced the word “Paggali” and referred to the bread as “Roti Benggali” as we know it today. Roti Benggali is mostly sold by Indians and Indian Muslims only. As a result, they give the nickname “Mamak Roti”. It could also be classified as a type of roti tawar.
