There's a place in Kuala Lumpur that serves up roti canai (Malaysia's equivalent of roti prata) as you've never seen before.
Roti canai in the shape of the KLCC
Restoran Aliff, a.k.a. Aliff Sdn Bhd Restaurant, is famous for its very own roti canai KLCC, which is essentially an edible version of Kuala Lumpur's most famous piece of sky-high architecture.
Each order gets you two towering pieces of roti connected by a roti bridge, which is then drizzled with chocolate sauce.
According to KL Foodie's Facebook video, the food stall came up with the idea during the Movement Control Order (MCO) to attract more customers.
Each tower is made from two pieces of dough, topped with butter and sugar. It requires two people each time to make it.
It can't stand on its own, so each order comes with two Milo glass mugs to support the two roti towers at its base.

Besides Roti Canai KLCC, Restoran Aliff has also been serving up a roti tissue Burj Khalifa, which, as the name suggests, is a huge single tower of all the roti you can eat.
Milo with cheese
They also have, uh, more unusual offerings such as iced Milo with sliced cheese.

If you're feeling overwhelmed with giant roti and cheese slices in your Milo, Restoran Aliff also serves up other interesting variations of roti canai, such as roti ular (snake) and roti sarang burung (bird's nest) and roti ice cream.
