JOHOR BARU: More people seem to be turning to roti canai for lunch, especially in the city centre here, says a restaurant operators association.

Johor Indian Muslim Entrepreneurs Association secretary Hussein Ibrahim said 24-hour eateries or mamak restaurants used to only serve roti canai for breakfast as the operators wanted to focus on nasi kandar or mixed rice dishes during lunch hour.
