Transfer Road Famous Roti Canai (Penang Project Station 1)

2011-11-22T20:53:00.001+08:00

I am so lucky and appreciate that I can be one of the food bloggers in this Project Penang food hunt event.

And this is a very good experience for us

to know more about Penang food including halal and non-halal food.

I really enjoyed this food hunt event, hope that the organiser will organise more on this kind of event.

Thanks for the sponsor - Project Penang!

Our first station which was also the place to have our breakfast is the famous Roti Canai in Penang,

or in another word we can said the Hottest Roti Canai in Penang.

This Roti Canai is located at the road side of Transfer Road.

Now why do we called it Transfer Road?

" Transfer Road is one of the major roads inGeorge Town, Penang. It runs from Burmah Road to Northam Road, and has a number of offshoots. Among the roads that branches off from Transfer Road are Phee Choon Road, Kedah Road, Dickens Street, Popus Lane, Dindings Road, Hutton Lane, Ariffin Road, Jalan Sekerat, Argyll Road and Sri Bahari Road.

Transfer Road was named to commemorate the transfer of the administration of the Straits Settlements from Madras to Singapore in 1867, given greater autonomy in the administration of the states. "

Not only can you enjoy the roti canani and teh tarik here,

one can also enjoy Malaysia's culture

"Teh tarik means the mixture is poured back and forth repeatedly between two vessels from a height, giving it a thick frothy top. This process cools the process fluid (tea) to optimal drinking temperatures, and helps to thoroughly mix the tea with the condensed milk."

Hot Hot Roti Canai in the hot pan

Curry chicken and Curry Mutton- super hot! - RM10.60

Give it a try and forever you will remember the taste.

But don't worried it still delicious HOJIAK, especially the curry mutton!

Roti Canai Kosong is RM1.30

Roti Telur RM2.40.

Roti Bakar with Sunny Egg on top - RM2.40

Best choice for breakfast and it suits all the races.

Semangat muhibbah -

Can see people from different races enjoying their breakfast here

Taking your Hot Roti Canai and a cup of Teh Tarik at the Road Side of Transfer Road,

is just like taking a cup of coffee at the open air Cafe in Rome,

but you can only find this in Transfer Road, Penang, Malaysia.

Enjoying and Great Feel!

To be Continue Our Second Station Nasi Padang at Transfer Road!

Sushi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, Japanese cuisine sushi (寿司, 鮨, 鮓^?) is vinegar rice, usually topped with other ingredients, such as fish.

But we can put what we love in this vinegar rice. In this modern time, people like to talk about fusion, food also can cross over with different kinds of cuisine. The most important is we love the food we make and can accept it.

I used tuna fish, crabstick, eggs, luncheon meat and sausages the ingredients, but the sushi rice I still follow the traditional sushi rice recipe, it is cook using the Japanese rice, Japanese Vinegar and a bit of salt to taste.

Ohqio ( 噢桥) or Ai Yu Bing (爱玉冰 ) is a tasty healty natural jelly. It's a famous dessert from Taiwan. But one can hardly get it from Penang food stall. Ai Yu is a kind of fig and its scientific name is Ficus pumila var. awkeotsang, a member of the fig family. The plant is sometimes grown in close proximity to Betel nut palms thus providing a tall trunk, which the fig uses as a support to climb.
