It is the Singapore National Day today. What better way is there than to celebrate this day with a bowl of Singapore laksa, one of our nations’ favourite dishes?

Roti John is a popular dish found within Southeast Asia, a dish that apparently originated from Singapore. ‘Roti’ means bread, and ‘John’ seems to be a name given by the British colonialists to the native vendors back then. Baguettes are used as the key ingredient to make this bread dish, sliced into half loaves, dipped in an egg mixture and then cooked with onion and meat, either beef or chicken as it is served mainly by Muslim vendors. It can serve as a side dish, or as a filling meal in itself.


Is this the third time already that I’ve attempted a ham and cheese bread roll? I think it must be, though I can’t remember when the last attempt was exactly. I seem to be addicted to all the various versions of this recipe. I know I would repeat this later on in this blog, but this has got to be the best one so far.


Simple recipes for when I would like to do some baking but do not want to do too much work in the kitchen. This simple recipe allows me to make enough of a batch and keep it for my workday afternoons and lazy weekends – perfect for curbing my snack itch and drowsiness and definitely great with a nice cuppa coffee!
