You're too late, Rina - Roti Boy has closed all its operations in Singapore after sales dwindled. During the peak of the Roti Boy craze in Singapore about 2 years ago, you have one-hour queues. But Singaporan consumers tend to be quite fickle & switched their allegiances to donuts a year ago.

They still have Roti Boy in Indonesia though (at least in February of this year ..)
;)
but indeed sales have dwindled there too.

What I don't get is why they tell you to squeeze the thing before you eat it (they say to spread the filling etc)? But I like mine much better puffy ...

"Mr Bun" stole the Roti Boy concept in Thailand, so Roti Boy bought them and stuck with the "bun" brand, a miserable copy!

i think Roti Boy is from Malaysia. There are different shops that are selling coffee buns like Roti Boy which is Pappa Roti(from Malaysia) and Roti Mum(from Singapore)..

maybe u should look for Roti Mum in Singapore and enjoy Roti Boy or Pappa Roti in Malaysia

It's just stuffed rolls with various fillings. The chili sardine and the chilli chicken are pretty spicy, although my then 17 month old son LOVED the chicken one. I personally like the coconut (kaya) buns and the coffee custard. One time they had a special chicken curry one that was really good. The buns made great "shopping snack food" for my son because he could eat it himself.

They are good, but don't make a special trip just for them, only if you happen to be passing by and spot a Rotiboy shop.

ROTIBOY !!!!!!!!!

These are wonderful, hot from the oven.
By far, my favorite memory of Singapore.

They opened a store in Siam Square, Bangkok.

BTW, they taste like a cross between a donut and crissant: very buttery, with a coffee/cinnamon/sugar flavoring cooked into it.
