Malaysian Comfort Food and Roti Canai Are A London Favorite - Dining on a Dime

- Correction: In the version above, Mie Goreng and Nasi Goreng are spelt incorrectly as Mie Gorreng and Nasi Gorreng.
Fans of Dining on a Dime will remember back to the Toronto season, when host Lucas Peterson traveled to Gandhi Indian Cuisine to try some of their rotis -- an Indian and West Indies mash-up that filled pliant bread with various fillings. This week, Peterson continues his exploration of London by indulging in a different kind of roti at a tiny hole-in-the-wall in Euston called Roti King, which specializes in authentic Malaysian cuisine.

Eater In Singapore it's Spelt * Mee Goreng and Nasi Goreng * .
Malaysia*
I like this so much, but rarely find it. It's sooo good.
To Tinisha, the girl in the video, yes there is Nasi Lemak there. My FAVE dish there!
mie goreng and nasi goreng are actually the indonesian way to spell them
You know as a fan of these series, I gave some thought about what makes Lucas such a likable host - aside from his friendly mannerisms and depth of food knowldge - and I came to realize that Lucas speaks with a similar tone and speed as great talk show hosts like David Letterman. Both of them are calm, collected, and take pauses to either emphasize what they're about to say or to articulate eloquent words that best express the message they want to deliver. The result is that the viewer feels a sense of reassurance that a knowledgeable friend is gently guiding them through information, not trying to show off or lecture them. I think this separates them from a crowd of wannabe hosts who are constantly trying to outdo another and trying way to hard to be edgy.
Aside from that, both their dry humor and occasional silliness never fail to come through. I don't know if you being a seasoned host comes from years of practice or just natural cbarm, but Lucas you are one talented man. Thanks for such an enjoyable and informative series and keep up the good work!
장혜지 Long story short...he's just a very likeable person.
Some good old fashioned midwestern charm!
haha well, everyone's got a slight different preference i guess! I find Lucas a little too detached, and rarely get the sort of enthusiasm from him partly from his calm collectedness that you enjoy so much. As much as Nick gets alot of snarky comment about his vocabulary, i love how he really describes food with such enthusiasm.
Still, the different hosts are what make Eater my favourite food related channel out there!
장혜지 He seems to put everyone at ease yes. He does not throw punches like Letterman, he does know when to lean in and listen. Soft spoken, well timed, and learned confidence.
I don't like letterman but is sure do enjoy some lucas talking about food
I love the fact that he mentioned all 3 countries (malaysia, singapore, indonesia). If he didn't, the comment section will probably be a war zone where people of each country claiming each food as their own.
Michael Panggabean true dis
Z Malek ^and here we go.
nahhh. Singapore will be shutted down by both Malaysians and Indonesians if they said Roti Canai is theirs and they will be insulted about how they copied our food and their food is shitty
Indian ,roti is Indian item
i love food and i dun care where its comes from as long as it good. moreover, singapore, malaysia, indonesia has a lot of cultural similarities. the other country might look at us three like a damn fussy neighbor, attacking each other. We should celebrating our similarities. not condemn it.
Currently living in Malaysia for over 20 years. Enjoy it very much, except for the government. Cheers.
Aaron Sta Maria i feel you
our government try to move forward but alot of millionaire in this country dont pay any tax with they income and some of them keep million of ringgit under their bed
and 1MDB
Are you related to Spencer Sta Maria?
Aaron Sta Maria This is the Malaysian Government. You are now being watched.
well technically we used fork and spoon as our default eating utensil , chopsticks are often used at a chinese style eatery
The default is using my fingers.
except for noodles.
Ollie K well u surely sound intelligent, fingers crossed ure not just another snobbish, uneducated poor folk hiding behind a cheap phone/monitor screen. :)
11madeye11 real men eat noodles with their bare hands
OK.. wtf
I'm in the background of this video! I remember walking in and seeing Lucas and nearly collapsing 😊
Say hello next time, we love our fans! Thanks for watching!
Eater oh trust ME I said hi 😂😏
you can dip your roti canai in anything, typically we dip it in dhal, curry, condensed milk, or just white sugar. You can even have it drown in curry and half boiled eggs. In Malaysia we call it "roti banjir" And yes some stall does provide chopsticks but mostly it's fork and spoon.
When he ordered the Nasi Goreng, the image of the Mee Goreng was shown instead. Other than that, great to see that Lucas is trying food from our region!
Roti canai in UK is like 5 pounds, while in Malaysia it is less than 50p. lol
RY 82 trueee. you can get one plain piece for less than 20p
One piece of plain roti canai is around rm1.80
Australia roti canai is about 12 AUD.
RY 82 Malaysia is a shit hole lol
thats expensive, you got scammed. which mamak you went? hahah
A proud Malaysian watching! 😭
I'm so glad to see you try the food. If you ever come to Malaysia, go to a Mamak stall and you can get most of the awesome food. Also all the other stalls haha we're a melting pot of food and culture basically. Nasi Lemak and Nasi Ayam is also a must try.
P/s: to my knowledge we won't really eat the laksa with chopsticks but you're welcome to if you want ☺️
As an Indian, I'm really excited to try South East Asian food from Indonesia and Malaysia some day. Made a lot of friends from the region through gaming, and really wanna try the food
I'm from Singapore and I love Malaysian food! Keep up the outstanding job Lucas!
While I was in London last month I visited this place purely as a result of watching this video! Food was on point! Some of the best Malaysian food I've ever had 👍👌
Just realized this host as a habit of describing how the food taste vividly, rather than describing whether he likes it or not. Good stuff and keep it up!
Appreciate if you'd have a few more segments on Southeast Asian food!
Highly recommend it, the food is really authentic - brought back childhood memories from living in Malaysia. One thing of note: if you go there, make sure you go line up at at least 11:45am because the line goes WAY down the street even before it opens at 12:00pm. You'll otherwise be waiting ages to get seated.
so much emotion in this man. i love it
Lucas is by far my favourite Eater host, he speaks so eloquently & soft & descriptive!
Apart from Lucas (we all love him) The music in these UK episodes is spot on! Great job whoever sorted that out
The audio team and sound editor had their work cut out for this video. Did a great job balancing the atmosphere of the place and keeping Lucas audible. Nice work.
Out of all individuals on the show Lucas is the best he really brings the ideas to you about eating what he shows.i enjoy him a lot.
Best food ever. Ate roti's for breakfast in Malaysia every day^^
heatonfeet and why Malaysians have high cholesterol
Jason Lee i don't?
Are you asking or are you just unsure of your statement?
f622 I'm saying that I'm Malaysian and I don't have high cholesterol, I eat these types of oily food everyday but I manage to keep fit and control my cholesterol level
47.7% of Malaysians have high cholesterol. God dam, stop eating fried food daily. You're literally killing yourself slowly.
Lucas! Yes you do use your chopsticks for your laksa. There are also places where laksa is only consumed with just a large spoon so you can scoop up the gravy and the noodles together.
i love malaysian foods..they are so delicious! flavors are so rich
My favourite place to eat in London just got featured!!! Thank you, LUCAS!
I enjoyed this episode of DD and like the manner in which Lucas described what he was eating. I'm curious to learn and see more of what Londoners eat at the United Kingdom.
THANKS, LUCAS. NICE VIDEO.
I just started watching Dining on a Dime I think Lucas is great 👍
This was a lovely recommendation. I took my Dad and when we got there the line was out the door and up the stairs. When we left the line was down the street! They were very obliging to my Dads aversion to spice and the Spinach and Cheese Roti was delicious.
that soup/sauce dish with the bread, and the noodles are to die for!
Thank you Peter for introduce Nasi Goreng. One of the best food from Indonesia. Thank you Roti King for make it real in your menus. Peace out.✌️
Malaysia represent!
If you could start putting the translation of stuff in the description box, I'll Google without going to Hawaii or your other expensive places. Lucas should host most of the food channels, btw
thank i for not being an ignorant person of the world! love all the videos and what is to come! keep up the great work!
Yes, we Indonesians also eat with chopsticks. But don't expect the right form of holding chopsticks from us lol.
And while I'm at this video, greetings to SG-MY folks out there!
This place is excellent and makes me happy. Really delicious food and dirt cheap.
First time in few episodes that i sincerely see him enjoying his food.
"I was researching other things"
*smiles and nods head*
I did the same. hahaha
Finally! I am early for a video of Lucas! I subscribed today! Love being in the notification squad 😁
Thanks for subscribing!
Good spot! ex Malaysian student in London!
Lucas hosting the food from my nation yass!!
This is some of the most delicious looking food I've ever seen.
Wow lucas your food knowledge is really, REALLY surprise me. I mean for a western to know so much about SEA food is amazing! I never would've thought a western would know anything about "Kecap Manis" and pronounce it well.
My tummys rumbling watching this, must pay a visit
I place an incredible amount of trust on Lucas
Lucas, you are hilarious! I enjoy watching your show.
Yes, we do use chopsticks :) However, what cutlery we use depends on the food really. Sometimes fork & spoon, chopsticks or by hand.
The bread looks amazeballs
I love KL. One of my favorite cities to visit. Great wholesome night life.
Amazing video
Thank you Lucas for mentioning all 3 neighboring countries!!!!! And btw in Singapore, we eat laksa with just a spoon only. Those Asian soup spoon kind, not the normal spoon.
This is the only show on Eater i care for.
I was expecting Trini 🇹🇹 food with a name like 'Roti King'. Still, I'm going check this place out. Food looks good 😊
We love rotis of all sorts! Check out our archive for more roti content
LMAO.... I thought the same thing - Trini roti. Shame on me for forgetting roti's exist in various cultures.
iLoveTurtlesHaha haha 😬
Usually at Mamak Restaurant in Malaysia, they always serve the roti canai, thosei, chapatti with 3 different kind of dips.. curry,dal+sambal and chutney usually coconut chutney. And one more thing is the Laksa, it is actually different form curry laksa. Laksa the broth are made up from fish and the colour would be more grey brownish colour, the taste will be spicy and abit sour.
When I see him eating roti canai, I’m drooling 😭😭😔 cant wait to go back
Looks wise, they looked authentic. 😍
even Lucas know about kecap manis. Love you more!
Indonesian here. We don't usually use chopsticks. we usually using our bare hand and only with spoon for the other meals like soto, sop, and sayur asem (you should try this one, but i think it's quite rare in the abroad). But hands is our ultimate weapon for eat, besides our mouth obviously :lol
Great episode....come to South East Asia, Lucas!
Try Indonesian's Rendang (Nasi Padang) and Malaysian's Nasi Kandar. They are just few of amazing foods in the region.
always bringing the two-tone, who do you have on the sound track this week?
looks delicious!!!!
I like how Lucas and his team come off as knowledgeable, but not in a matter-of-fact way. It shows that they've done the research but are humble enough to give room for feedback or corrections. My first impression of him was that he looked bored most of the time, but it kind of grew on me. Great job everyone!
Forks, chopsticks, hands, we use em all. One of the cool things about Malaysians is that most of us can mix Malay, Chinese and Indian words together in a sentence and everyone would still understand it lol. You Singaporeans you dont hide2 arr we know you do it as well lah😂
I really like that about Singapore. I'd like to visit one day. :) I love when everyone embraces other cultures, fusion is so cool.
So,roti canai is basically oily and glutenous version of rumali roti?I need this.
Lucas did his research very good
Yes the laksa is definitely eaten with a pair of chopsticks... didn't realise there is a shop in King Cross though when I visited UK.
You need to come over to Galway Ireland and I'll show you around! Loads of restaurants that will allow you to dine on a dime!
that all looks so delicious. the laksa looks like the Lao dish kapoon. how very mouth watering.
I live to see lucas eat!!
thank you🙌
Whenever i feel sad or just bored i watch lucas peterson and everything's gone
yummy ...the food look delicious
greeting from Malaysia
lmao lucas pronounces the food way better than the waitress
Zhack Lhim except he says laygoom
roninzorz666 but the pronunciation isn't technically wrong, there are 2 ways to pronounce it
Lucas finally come to my hometown
What's so awesome about Lucas is that he's so knowledgable of the food he's eating. He knows the difference between a southeast Asian fried rice versus that of other east Asian countries. It's so apparent how much research he does before he eats a food rather than just eating it and saying "Mmm it's delicious." He takes his job seriously and it shows.
PS As far as I know, we don't eat with chopsticks
great choice
you should definitely come to Malaysia..the food here is BOMB!!!
Thank you for including Indonesia in your explanation about roti canai & laksa but nobody here would claim that as Indonesian food so yeah, we're fine with just nasi goreng & mi goreng (though you may find many indonesian dishes similar to laksa)
About the laksa, either chopsticks or fork are good.
need to check this place
I'm hungry again....Malaysian food looks delicious!
Lucas please to something with strictly dumpling.... it would be awsome
DAMN YOU EATER FOR MAKING ME MISS HOME!!
Legit Nasi Lemak and Roti Chenai is only found in hawker stalls in Kuala Lumpur where the construction workers from India and Bangladesh frequent. That stuff is out of this world delicious.
Id say that Nasi Lemak is THE ULTIMATE comfort food. I cant exactly describe the feeling of it but imagine you had a late night out with friends, ate bunch of these fake hipster food in Bangsar, came back at 3am, woke up at 8am while it was only Saturday and had the best Nasi Lemak that you bought right beside your chic condo in Taman Tun to get on with your weekend. Pure bliss!
Where my Malaysian foodies at? 🙋🏼♂️
ohmyafy 🙋🙋
UP
up
And I'm here still eating an orange while watching this marvelous food
For me coming from Indonesia, i personally use chopsticks and spoon while eating noodle/soupy dishes and fork+spoon when eating rice etc. Or simply use your pair of hands to dig in especially when it comes to nasi padang! :)
Yummm ... i am salivating here :/
I came from the east coast part of Malaysia and we eat laksa using our hand yup....
in Singapore, the laksa looks more red, and has short white noodles. Traditionally eaten only with a spoon.
I'm originally from Indonesia and I may able to help you with your question in regards to whether or not Indonesian use chip stick. So the answer is it depends, most Indonesian know how to use it nonetheless because of Chinese foods brought by the Chinese Indonesian have become popular since the colonial era. As a Chinese Indonesian, we are being taught to use chop stick from an early age since it's almost a necessity for us to be able to use it. It's more of a tradition also to use the chopstick. I hope this answer your question. And keep up the good work, I never know that such hidden gem exist in London area
In Singapore, many people just use a soup spoon to eat the laksa.
And in Brunei too! But we called it as ‘Murtabak’
in malaysia, chinese used to use their Mee Goreng, or Laksa with chopsticks. As for Malays they eats with regular spoon and fork.
Haha I'm from Singapore, and we call that Roti Prata. Been eating that since I was a kid, still no clue what it means lol. Also I'm wondering how much they charge over there, since these foods you can get at under 10 bucks (Singapore Dollars). Oh and 10 bucks means I can get at least 3 of the 4 dishes Lucas ordered.
Oh well rant over, great stuff Lucas! Best. food. presenter. ever.
awesome
Went today after watching this.
oh gosh now i want curry laksa too! at least im here in Malaysia too :D
There's no right or wrong in which utensils you use for eating laksa, i believed it's based on personal preferences. But just a fun fact, some laksa stores in Singapore recommend using only a spoon to eat laksa for you get to enjoy fully the combination of the noodles together with the curry gravy. Ahhhhh talking about it makes me hungry already!!!
P.S. Lucas keep up the good work hosting this show! totally love the way you describe the food you are eating to the viewers
Hi 5 , I'm from Malaysia!
Yassss Lucas trying Malaysian food
Especially Sarawak Laksa~
