Snackspert tests Duca’s roti roll

Rotirol Duca

Snackspert, the man who effortlessly guides us through the snack landscape, was delighted to put Duca’s snacks to the test. You can buy Duca snacks at Albert Heijn and Jumbo. The most striking snack: the roti roll in the shape of a spring roll.

‘Delicious crispy Surinamese snack filled with roti and chicken’, according to Duca. But wait a minute. A roti roll spring roll? Made in China? According to an authentic Surinamese recipe? I had to blink a few times. But it’s really true. A spring roll filled with Surinamese roti.

Chaos cooking: a trend

Such a crazy roti roll spring roll fits perfectly into the chaos cooking trend. Unrestrained seems to be the keyword; as long as it tastes good, anything goes. In this context, we had already come across the roti panini earlier—long before the chaos cooking trend.

How does it taste?

Why be snobbish about food? It comes from the deep fryer, so it could hardly go wrong, right? Snackspert gave the deep-fried roti roll 3.5 stars (out of a maximum of 5). ‘Simply delicious, really, not bad at all. Handmade is always much better (and bigger)’, was his verdict.

A real roti roll doesn’t go into the deep fryer. And in my opinion, this isn’t necessary at all. A roti roll is so delicious just as it is. (Tip: these are our favorite Surinamese spots in Amsterdam for eating or picking up roti).
