Interesting

Was watching "Makan Places Lost & Found"... the episode where Gurmit and Michelle were searching for the famous Taman Serasi Roti John stall. It has since moved to Serangoon Gardens Market (not Chomp Chomp). Always wondered why Roti John is called Roti John??? I finally have the answer!!! The dish was created by the original Taman Serasi Roti John stall owner specially for Ang Mohs because they were tired of the local food. Sounds just like my Caucasian colleague. Roti=bread but why John? John was the collective name for Ang Mohs back then. Woooooooooooooo.
