Phuket's Thai-Muslim breakfast: crisp, flaky roti fried on a wide pan, torn and dipped in beef or chicken curry, or eaten sweet with banana and egg.

Roti with curry came to Phuket with its Muslim communities of Indian and Malay descent, which is why the island's breakfast tables carry roti and chicken curry beside Chinese noodles. Phuket has a large Muslim community, and halal roti shops open at dawn across Phuket Town. Some are long-running: one charcoal-pan stall on Thep Krasattri Road and another on Chaofa Road both hold a Michelin Bib Gourmand for their breakfast roti.
