Guo Kui a.k.a. Chinese Beef Roti
fragrant chilli oil

we’ve been following the VIRALITY of this Chinese meat-stuffed pastry, from seeing the crowds at the Mon Beef Roti spots in Kuala Lumpur to its prevalence in the Ramadan bazaars in Singapore! needless to say, it’s TIME we try making our own ones in the nOm kitchen.

while it is more popular known as ‘beef roti’, in Malaysia & SG, introduced by Hui Chinese-Muslim immigrants, it is commonly called ‘Guo Kui’ (锅盔) in parts of China & is a popular street food. to us, the pastry resembles a crispy prata dough. could this might as well be the mainland Chinese version of Murtabak??

@nomies.cohonestly EVERYTHING my eyes lay onto at 5pm on a Ramadan day looks like f0od 😫🥵 @zakiv4 #viralbeefroti #monbeefroti #sgfood #sgfoodie #ramadan2025
