Roti Boy Kopi Kind of Girl

Thats right, 'kopi' (coffee) runs through my veins. I run by its fuel, and a day without it feels incomplete.

Not really a coffee connoisseur, just an avid coffee drinker. While I'm all for those artisanal coffee drinks bursting with exotic flavors with hints of delicious secrets (shoutout to my lovely niece A with J & their crowdpleaser coffee pop-ups!! 🤤), i'm also just as keen for a simple mug of a 3-in-1 instant coffee packet.

My love for this brew extends to the food imbued with its delicious essence, including R o t i  K o p i  B u n s!!!

Spreading this love to my precious Z, who, in this season, dreams of being a barista.

Here is an easy DIY that hits the right cuppa notes for every bite.



☕ Ingredients

  • 1 packet coffee dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water.
  • Butter
  • Sugar
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • plain Flour
  • White bread, or any bread


☕ Tools

  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife / spatula
  • Baking paper
  • Toaster / oven


☕Steps

  1. Dissolve the coffee with hot water.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the butter & sugar.
  3. Add egg yolk.
  4. Add flour.
  5. Spread generously on one side of the bread.
  6. Toast the bread.


📑 Tips

At 160 for 12 mins?

Next version Try 150 at 15minutes.

Watch closely, do not overcook or else you'll have a too crunchy roti.😅

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
