Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah recently congratulated Malaysians for making "roti canai" the world's number one bread. 

A favourite food of Malaysians, roti canai was recently named the best bread in the world by the international food guide website TasteAtlas. 

It defeated India with its "roti naan, and Europe, which is known for producing the best pastries in the world. 

"Roti canai is also a favourite food of His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah)," the queen said in a post on Istana Negara Facebook. 

Through a post on Instagram recently, TasteAtlas announced that Malaysian roti canai ranked first in the Top 50 'Best Bread in the World' list after getting the highest score of 4.9 out of 5.0 based on user reviews. 

In July this year, roti canai was also named the best flatbread in the world, while in September last year, it was awarded as the best street food in the world by the international site.
