Roti John
This is an iconic street food in Singapore. It is a very simple omelette baguette sandwich. It all started in the 60s when there are still British soldiers in Singapore. They would visit this Union Jack Club in North Bridge Road just behind Capitol Cinema. Almost every one of them will pick up this omelette baguette sandwich from this Malay stall. It is like their supper or snack before or after a few drinks. So much so that when the owner, Abdul, whenever he saw a British guy, he would ask, "Roti (bread in the Malay language) John (which is a very common British soldier's name)?" So that's how a question became the name of this sandwich.
