Fried roti from street carts and mataba (stuffed roti parcels) from Phra Arthit — a legacy of Bangkok's Muslim community.
Thin dough stretched and folded on a hot griddle with egg and condensed milk, or banana — 30–50 THB; the most common sweet street snack.
A stuffed roti parcel filled with spiced minced chicken or beef, egg, and vegetables — a savoury meal in itself; found at specialist shops near Phra Arthit.
Roti arrived in Bangkok with Muslim Malay and Indian traders — the street cart roti is now a Thai institution despite its foreign origins.
Phra Arthit Road (near Khao San area) has the most famous mataba shop; roti carts found near night markets and university areas throughout Bangkok.
