Roti Canai at Transfer Road, Penang

Breakfast is that kind of time/day when you feel like you just want to wake up early and make the tummy happy. We don't always eat breakfast because we think that sleep is way more important and needed. But usually on Sundays, she have that kind of mood to wake up early and makan, just before church starts at 10am! And he doesn't usually have problems with that. He can be out with his friends playing dota till the wee hours in the morning and still takes her out for breakfast the next day. All done willingly. She's got herself a keeper, for sure! :)

Anyways, she decided that we should eat at this place since both her sister and niece wanted roti canai as well. They have been there since they were much younger and it was one of her favorite place to eat roti canai. It was his first time there and let's see what he thinks of the place!


Mass production of roti canais.

Nasi lemak.
He says: Not good.. Tastes weird..
She says: It is horrible! Probably the worst I've ever tasted of nasi lemak in Penang! It tasted almost like it's few-days-ago's product! :S Ewww..

Toast bread with half boiled eggs.
He says: Looks good but nothing special really. Not recommended =/
She says: No taste at all. Got butter like no butter nia. Blehh.

Roti Canai plain and roti canai with egg.
He says: Gotta say that the roti canai really tastes different from other. But for me, I would go for other normal roti canais. This one is just.. flat and not crispy.
She says: I will always go for the egg one. More texture to chew. Heh. Nothing special la.

Chicken Curry/Sambal.
He says: Good thing! =) This gravy is hot and spicy! 
She says: CHICKEN! Kuah manyak pedas. It means it's really spicy. It used to be thicker, but now a bit too watery to my liking. Still like the taste of it though.

Mutton Curry/Sambal.
He says: Mix this with the chicken curry! Sums up to be something really unique =)
She says: I love this one. Same thing la. A bit too watery. I prefer this one over chicken's cos this one more spicy. And a lil more thicker. Overall, I think their quality kinda dropped. Sad case.

Dhal curry (not spicy)
He says: Hmm.. not really good for me.. 
She says: Colored water to me. Yuck.

Roti Canai at Lorong Susu, Penang

When you wake up in the morning and you have no idea what to eat.

And you're absolutely insanely hungry.

And you want something that's fast and cheap and delicious.

And you just don't know where to go.

Worry not! For we have a perfect place for you.

Yes, makan roti canai di Lorong Susu.

She: I don't think many people will know where Lorong Susu is!
He : They will know la. There's famous chicken/duck rice here whatt!
She: Famous? Not nice also eh! (soon to be reviewed by us)
He: What not nice? It's super nice okayy! and they will know la. They are not you.
She: *deadly stares*

We purposely set our alrm clock earlier so that we could eat at this place and introduce it to you folks. Good things we must share, correct?

I shall let the photos do most of the talking.

the front part of stall.

The roti man.

curry: two types of intensity (mixed is always the best)

They also have nasi lemak (telur and ikan bilis only)

Nasi lemak
He says: Typical nasi lemak. 
She says: My idea to try the nasi lemak! It's yummy. What's most important of nasi lemak other than the rice is definitely the sambal. And this one has a great aroma and spicyness in it. Love this!

They also have samosa.
He says: I call this karipap tiga segi! There's sweet potatoes insideeee! However, its not crispy enough..
She says: According to him, there's sweet potatoes in it. I took a bite and it's just potatoes. And it was cold and chewy. Samosa is only nice when it's hot and crispy. So, this one, a big no-no to me.

Kopi Tarik (instead of teh tarik) since we needed to be really awake!
He says: Kopi tarik kuat kuat! Its good!
She says: I'm not a coffee person, but decided to give it a try. Thickness and sweetness, I will give 4 stars out of 5. I like this coffee. Must try! :)

Finally, ROTI CANAI that we've been waiting for!

His: roti kosong with separated kuah.
He says: Power mia la! Kuah atas banjir or kuah asing.. Both also tastes good cause its spicy =) I would say that the kuah is really good. (This is my breakfast every morning before work for the past 4 months!)
She says: I don't eat roti kosong eh. I like it with eggs. Heh.

Her: roti telur with kuah.
He says: Its okay la.. Tastes like roti kosong with eggg! hahaha! I think what's special at this place is the kuah =)
She says: Immediately got chemistry between me and the roti telur drenched with kuah. It's soooo nice! It's not that spicy and eat together with the marinated pink onions, BEST! Best roti canai breakfast ever!
