PETALING JAYA (April 22): Roti canai (pictured) is apparently the top delicacy among Malaysians in the age of movement control order (MCO), according to food delivery companies GrabFood and FoodPanda, The Star reported today.
FoodPanda Malaysia managing director Sayantan Das told the daily that roti canai and roti telur were “now its main items for breakfast and snacks”.
Next on FoodPanda’s list are nasi goreng kampung, nasi goreng ayam and nasi ayam penyet, while nasi lemak has “dropped” to sixth spot, followed by satay ayam, chicken rice, nasi goreng Pattaya and nasi kukus ayam berempah, said the report.
Das added that there was also an increase in the orders for pizza and coffee.
Meanwhile, second on Grab Food’s list is satay, followed by egg tart, roti telur, tau foo fah, and siew pau.
Nasi lemak is seventh on GrabFood’s “top 10 list”, followed by nasi impit, telur dadar and nasi goreng kampung.
Malaysia Grab country head Sean Goh told The Star that “many of the food items which made it to the GrabFood order list during the MCO period were “relatively new entries”.
“It’s quite clear that many of us are missing the mamak and local street food during this stay-at-home period,” he explained.
Will this impact on our waistlines when MCO ends? Now that is a scary thought.
