Can Malaysians survive without Roti Canai? the question is stated. in a random votes by malaysian in a local tv stattion. 83 percent agrees malaysians can. n 17 percent dont. so BCers here.what do u think? care to comment?
Why not? In fact they can switch over to chapatti with the added advantage of better tasting and more healthy eating. Malaysians will see a reduction in metobolic syndrome disease (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol) straight away, and they will lose the title of Asia's unhealthiest people.
If the roti canai is not too oily...... . If the roti canai is not too oily, then it would be an excellent, healthy food. .
Did someone mention chapatti ??? . Did someone mention chapatti ??? ...... Oh, how I love chapatti... .
i can live without roti canai since my favourite is thosai. and i think even if the roti canai is not oily, the ingredients are heavy nonetheless. but malaysians love fried food. haahaha. that and fast food contribute to obesity in malaysians and in fact the world.
Anyone hungry??.. Roti canai is one of M'sian staple food, and yes, they're quite good..But i think with so many different kind of dishes that are available in M'sia, i'm sure M'sians can somehow live, even survive, without having roti canai.. ..don't forget your naan, taneepak.. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44543 ..i think it's lunch time (or just about over) in parts of Asia now...But for those who haven't eaten lunch, or those looking fw to dinner, here are some appetizer pics of those chapattis~yuuum, yum!!...taneepak, mind sharing with us some background infos abt chapatti??..
the problem with chapatti is not many can make a good one. some go hard. some too tasteless. but when you found a place that could really make a good one, chapatti is a pleasure to eat.
Thosai is the least oily of them all . Agree... Thosai is the least oily of them all. All this talk about food is really making me hungry... So, excuse me, while I find something to eat. .
Roti canai, thosai and naan are bad in that order. From a health point of view chapatti is king among pasta, breads, noodles, etc. Nothing comes close. I do remember I have had some inputs on chapatti sometime back in this sub-forum. How about a search?
ctcjad!!!! YOU BAD! Making me hungry. ahahha.. for me i can live without Roti Canai. If they cant have it.. i will probably have to make it myself if i want to eat one.
i think really the problem lies not in what we eat (be it chappati or roti canai or thosai) but how we eat it. eating in moderation is good. the body was meant to process food. however it is when we eat too much that it starts to be a problem. too much of a good thing is bad. so moderation should be the key word.
Why is Roti Canai (& It Thosai, & Naan) bad??? Is it the Oil content? Then maybe we prepare it with Olive Oil? Is it because of the flour? Then maybe we make Wholemeal Roti Canai to solve? Or is it the condiments that go along with it? Like the cholestrol high Coconut laden curries, chutneys and etc?
We should establish a BC Panel of judges!!! comprised of BC Malaysia members. They will judge : THE BC Malaysia Roti Chanai Olive Oil Test!!!
I don't think Roti Canai, Thosai, Naan and of course Chapathi are anywhere near as unhealthy as most of the stuff we dip it in. They should ask instead "Can Malaysians Live without Curry, Coconut Milk (Santan) & Sambal???"
A greater question. Can Malaysia live without Palm Oil based cooking oil??? If yes... how many % Taking into account cause & effect... Malaysians Eating out at anywhere Bill will increase in Folds!
