Mamak & Bread 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.

This page ranks every roti, 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.
