Updating a classic can be a dangerous move, but EQ Kuala Lumpur has risen from the rubble of its popular predecessor, The Equatorial, and is modernising the city\u2019s much-loved cuisine, too. Paul Chai finds that rare beast: a sequel better than the original.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am holding in my hand a piece of the best bread in the world. It\u2019s not a crunchy baguette, a fluffy focaccia or an on-trend sourdough but a flaky, oily tangle of roti canai, a flatbread that originated in India but was perfected in Malaysia. According to food website TasteAtlas<\/a>, roti canai ranked number one on its Top 50 Best Breads in the World in 2023 (with a rating of 4.9 out of 5) but I did not need them to tell me how good roti is. Having lived in Singapore for two years, I quickly discovered that roti dipped in curry sauce is the breakfast of champions, a perfect lunch-on-the-go and a beer-sopping late-night delight.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
