Banana Roti, Chiang Mai

Short Note: Today, the hiccups I had in office were even serious. I was like kept failing to throw up. Medicine did not work at all!! Why so?? Why!? One joked that I'm pregnant, and someone seemed to believe that. Instead of asking "really?", she responded "oh.. not now please, no one is going to do the work." OMG!! I've gotta faint!

Read about Banana Roti (香蕉煎餅) before leaving for Chiang Mai.

One day, when I just walked around without specific target, I saw a Roti stall and decided to give it a try.


I went over, looked at the choices available, and made up my mind to order a banana roti - exactly the one others recommended in the cyberspace.

It was at the roadside of the famous Chang Khlan Road.

The ingredients are very similar to those required in making Roti Canai.

The final output was cut into pieces.

It's filled with sliced banana and evaporated milk on top.


Overall, it tastes okay. I'm not sure if I lose much of my taste bud after I was forced to restrain myself from lotsa delicious (yet unhealthy) food.

As long as that's something eligible for me to eat, I'm okay with anything, unless it tastes really, unbearably bad.

Roti stalls are easily seen almost everywhere.


The various Roti selections and prices are as follows:

10 Baht: Milk
15-20 Baht: Egg, Chocolate, Raisin, Strawberry Jam, Pineapple Jam, Orange Jam, Honey
25 Baht: Banana
30 Baht: Banana + Egg, Corn + Egg, Banana + Chocolate

Another drawback of traveling alone is the inability to taste a little bit of various kinds of food, but have to bear with larger amount of each type :)

Maybe I should bring a banana to a roti canai stall and ask them to put that in for me. I would like to have a taste of it. :D
