Food Calories
The mamak at 1am is where diets go to die. Here is the honest math: one roti kosong is about 300 calories, which is fine. The problem is nobody stops at one, nobody eats it without dhal and sambal, and the teh tarik next to it is another 160. The Singapore prata shop and the Indonesian martabak cart play the same game.
This page ranks every roti, prata, murtabak and mamak staple from lightest to heaviest so you can still hang out with your friends at 1am and know exactly what the damage is.
There are 12 dishes ranked on this page. The lightest is Appam at 138 kcal per 1 piece, the heaviest is Roti Tisu at 750 kcal per 1 piece (full cone), and the average lands around 334 calories a serving. 6 of them come in under 300 calories, and one is 600 or more.
That spread is the whole point. Two dishes off the same menu can be 612 calories apart, which is more than most people's entire daily deficit. Knowing which is which costs you nothing and changes the outcome.
