About

Rumah Kuning has been flipping roti canai since 1969, establishing itself as a legendary breakfast institution in Kampung Baru with over 55 years of heritage. Located at 17 Jalan Raja Abdullah next to RA Nasi Lemak near the AKLEH highway junction, this traditional Malay eatery operates from a historic house capturing authentic kampung atmosphere. Visible griddle stations showcase skilled hands stretching dough to create various flatbreads throughout morning service.


The signature roti sarang burung (bird's nest bread) has flooded social media and draws queues after 8:00 AM. Preparation is theatrical with dough twisted into circular nest shape, cooked first before two eggs are cracked in the middle. Once egg whites form the base, sardine curry is spooned over wobbly egg yolks, topped with chopped onions and chilies. The finishing flourish involves blowtorching roti edges to ensure maximum crispness before serving. Unlike traditional versions using meat curry, Rumah Kuning's unique sardine variation creates mild curry base with spicy kick from fresh chopped green and red chilies. The contrast of cooked egg whites, runny yolks, sardine curry and crunchy blowtorched edges makes this a satisfying breakfast.

Beyond the viral specialty, plain roti canai demonstrates quality dough with soft texture and crispy flaky bits. The restaurant transitions to lunch after 11:00 AM, offering nasi lemak items with ayam goreng and various curries. One entire griddle side dedicates exclusively to roti sarang burung due to popularity. Service is friendly and fast with welcoming owner creating neighborhood gathering atmosphere despite no dedicated parking.
