All the Roti Canai in here are freshly made and you can choose to have Roti Canai or Roti Canai Telur (with eggs). After that you will have to choose whether you want it with chicken curry, beef curry or dhal. The curry itself is a unique blend of Malay and Indian curry.
By the time you finished ordered Roti Canai, a guy from the next stall will approach and ask whether you want a Roti Bakar (toasted Bengali bread with soft-boiled eggs). The crispiness of the toasted bread really goes well with runny eggs. Also don’t forget to order Teh Tarik (ice tea with milk) to accompany your breakfast!
Air Itam Assam Laksa
This stall is located in the busy junction of Air Itam market. It was kind of hard to find parking sometimes but don’t fret it’ll be worth the bowl of goodness. The stall itself has been there for more than 60 years! I heard now the stall is being transitioned to granddaughter and grandson of its founder.
A bowl of Laksa is perfect as a lunch or as an afternoon snack to keep you energize while exploring Penang. The base of the soup is from fish and they put sweet shrimp paste on top of that but to counteract the smell, they put tamarind (in Malay it is call Asam, hence the name of the dish). When you first taste the soup, you can feel a sour, a bit sweet and spicy flavor that goes well together. Also you can taste the freshness coming from mint leaf and lettuce.
Penang Road Famous Teochew Cendol
Teochew Chendul first open their business in 1936 and now they have a lot of branches in Penang, they also have branches in other cities across Malaysia such as Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Perak but I visited the first branch which is in Penang road where they still have a stall on the roadside. Even with the amount of branch they have, people are still queuing in that stall to get their craving fixed!
Nasi Kandar Beratur
Nasi Kandar Beratur only starts operating at 10 p.m., serving mainly late birds. This is probably the only nasi kandar in Penang that opens up this late. If you’re out for clubbing or outstation and wants to grab a hearty meal, this is the place. Locals say it is definitely worth the long wait, probably no less than 30 minutes before you can place an order
