Kuala Lumpur’s Viral Roti Tisu Sensation

A popular snack in Malaysia, roti tisu, has become the latest tourist attraction in Kuala Lumpur, with visitors flocking to local mamak stalls to try the crispy treat.

The trend is believed to have been sparked by social media platform Xiaohongshu, where user reviews and photos of the towering roti tisu have made it a must-try experience.

Videos and photos of tourists posing with the oversized snack have gone viral on TikTok, with many comparing its height to themselves and treating it like a national landmark.

In one video, a tourist was seen dramatically taking a bite from an oversized roti tisu while her friend held it up like a prize. Almost every table at the stall had a roti tisu, with tourists eagerly posing for photos with the snack.

The trend has drawn mixed reactions from locals, with some expressing surprise that tourists are making a big deal out of a common Malaysian snack.

The popularity of roti tisu has led to speculation about what the next big tourist trend in Malaysia will be. Some have jokingly compared it to the recent trend of visiting a Maybank branch in Sabah, which became an unexpected tourist attraction.

Malaysia’s food scene is known for its diversity and richness, and it seems that roti tisu is quickly becoming the latest food craze among tourists. With its crispy texture and Instagram-worthy appeal, it’s no wonder that visitors are flocking to try it.

The trend is a boon for local mamak stalls, which are seeing an increase in business thanks to the influx of tourists. Whether or not the trend will last remains to be seen, but for now, roti tisu is the snack to try in Kuala Lumpur.
