Roti Telur is basically Egg Paratha. Indian migrants brought Paratha to Malaysia and Singapore, and it underwent some "localization" to suit the local palate, including being drenched in palm oil as it is cooked on the flat griddle. Sure fire way to clog your arteries, if eaten on a daily basis.

The palm oil makes the difference. Not exactly drenched, but just enough for the crispy Mallard reaction.

It's a little simpler than the given recipe too. Just a regular paratha, crack an egg directly onto it, then cook on a griddle.
