Toast is a popular breakfast food as well as tea time snack in countries like Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore known as roti bakar or roti kahwin. It uses white bread grilled or toasted over charcoal, though this practice has dwindled with the advent of sandwich presses.

Common spreads for roti bakar include sugar, margarine, butter, cheese, peanut butter, chocolate spread and kaya.
