Experience the lifestyle of the old town with its Sino-Portuguese buildings and enjoy crispy yet soft roti made with a non-greasy recipe, priced affordably from just 10 baht. Discover the standout dishes that tourists must stop to savor—the one-of-a-kind rich flavors unique to Satun.
Satun province is renowned for its cultural diversity, especially its breakfast culture featuring "roti," which has become a staple dish that every visitor must try. For the authentic original that has been part of Satun for over 40 years, head straight to “Azib Roti” on Buriwanich Road in Satun’s old town area, surrounded by charming Sino-Portuguese architecture.
Mrs. Yuwadee Osathan, known as Aunt Daeng and owner of the shop, says their roti is famous for being “crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not greasy.” Their basic roti starts at only 10 baht per piece and is best enjoyed with a secret recipe “bean curry” that Aunt Daeng insists is unmatched anywhere else, along with the rich-flavored “Tor Maeh curry” that enhances the roti’s taste even further.
Besides the classic roti, the popular menu item is Mataba, with soft dough scented with butter and a filling packed with flavorful spices. They also serve banana roti, egg roti, and fried egg roti, all served hot and freshly prepared to order.
The signature drink is made from goat milk, especially the goat milk tea priced at 40 baht per glass, which offers a sweet, creamy, and smooth taste with a distinctive aroma rarely found in typical breakfast spots. Both locals and tourists agree that the creamy goat milk flavor paired with hot roti makes for the perfect start to the day.
For those planning a visit,to Satun’s old town,Azib Roti is open for breakfast from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and is closed every Saturday.
