My usual order is roti canai, which, for those of you who aren't Malaysian, is a type of bread made out of clarified butter, flour and water (sounds healthy, I know!) and looks a bit like naan. At Ravi's, the roti canai is crispy on the outside but softer on the inside, and is served hot and fluffy - perfect!

Roti Canai - as you can see, it is served (rather authentically!) on a banana leaf |
Roti canai is eaten with curry - typically chicken or fish.

| Fish curry. The drink you can also see in the photo is called 'teh tarik ais', which literally translates as 'iced pulled tea'. It is essentially tea with condensed milk and ice which is poured between 2 jugs in a 'pulling' motion, creating froth at the top of the glass. |
Being the greedy person that I am, I decided to also have roti telur, or eggy bread.

| Roti Telur. This is also eaten with curry. |
Finally, we had the sotong goreng (fried squid). This is highly recommended - the squid rings are delicately cut and deep fried in a tasty & slightly spicy batter. Yum!

| Sotong Goreng. |
As you can tell, I am a fan of the food at Ravi's - it is simple yet well-cooked and delicious. In terms of the atmosphere, it is always pretty busy (though you shouldn't have to wait too long for a seat, even during the busiest periods) and my favourite time to go is early (by 8am) on weekend mornings because the cool weather makes sitting outside so pleasant.
