Shukor Stall: On the Makansutra Legend trail

Save as Draft

I was planning for a long time to try this legendary Roti John which used to be from Taman Serasi. This is arguably the most famous Roti John stall as it is one of the Makansutra Legends. However, on that fateful afternoon, I found out that the famous lady who was responsible for the fame of the Roti John only runs the stall on weekends. As a result (I guess) the dish we got was a little lack lustre. It was ok, but tasted like any other Roti John. 3.5/5

Conclusion

I am only blogging this since it is famous. Perhaps those who have had the Roti John here can attest to its quality on weekends?

You should give the roti john at Haig Road market a try. Can't remember the name, but it's the one in the middle at the 2nd row of the Halai stalls. The stall sells home-made mouth-sized beef-potatoes samosas whose taste is hard to beat too!

Yeah I've tried the Shukor roti john on a weekend. Just as disappointing. And there were barely any customers. I really don't think this deserves to be a Makansutra Legend at all!

I always felt that roti johns are the result of 'unsold' left over rotis being recycled and price higher than it was yesterday....

One frozen garlic bread I recommended is 'La Famiglia" garlic bread, can get in Cold Storage...pls give comments after trying....

They used to be very good when at the old Botanical Garden FC. The Roti John used to go very well with the soursop juice.

Last time i tried Shukor was about half a year ago and it was real disappointing.

The kway chap also cannot make it. The pieces of meat were minute and tasted ordinary.
