Murtabak · Singapore

A stuffed, folded flatbread of minced meat, egg and onion, made in Singapore from the same dough as roti prata and eaten with curry gravy and cucumber.

Murtabak takes its name from the Arabic mutabbaq, meaning folded, and was brought to Southeast Asia by Tamil Muslim traders. In Malaysia and Singapore it was originally sold at mamak stalls, and Singaporean murtabak uses more minced meat than most Malaysian versions. Zam Zam says it was established in 1908 and is famous for its murtabak.
