Ibrahim Mee Stall: Roti John that's soft on the inside, crispy on the outside

With smart, liverpool1965, tamago and iwatch_ueat


Forget what the stall sign says about this being a mee stall. Go straight for the Roti John and you will, as William Hung said, have no regrets! The Roti John is the best one I have had for years. The secret is in the use of a really nice soft bun instead of the usual french loaf. The skin only turns crispy when they toast it in wok after they fry the side with the egg. What you get is a crispy rather then chewy crust and soft, melt in your mouth bread which has absorbed the flavours of the egg, margarine and spicy mutton. They also serve with with a killer sweet chilli sauce which they prepare themselves!! Until I taste the ex-Taman Serasi one recommended by smart, this is my current favourite Roti John in Singapore! 4.25/5



We were less impressed with the mee goreng however. It was good but not exceptional. 3/5

Conclusion

Go for the Roti John!

The roti john is good. Bread is nice and soft as ieat has mentioned..must be the way they pressed it down while frying it...mayonnaise is a nice touch..

I confirm the roti john is SUPER good. But why do roti johnners like drown their creation in ketchup like sauces? I scrapped away a lot of the sauce in order to appreciate the roti for what it is.

Hello ieat i'm surprised you did not blog a to die for mee goreng stall at the Marine Parade Hawker Centre. They been there for ages already and very crowded over the weekends. Stall name Hass Bawa and their Mutton Chop and Tulang far better than those at Beach Road. My favourite Kway Teow Goreng Mata Lembu. Try it man.
