Most coffeeshops (or kopitiams) in Penang will be able to offer this typical breakfast set (toast with half boiled eggs, often with a cup of hot coffee) which is also popular with the locals here. There are a few coffeeshops around town famous for their toast and coffee.
Penang Food: The Mamak Breakfast
A very common breakfast meal ordered by the locals here at Mamak stalls is the ‘Roti Canai’. Roti Canai is a type of Indian-influenced flatbread found and is said to be originated in Malaysia. The word Roti means bread and Roti Canai is usually prepared by twirling the dough to be a very thin sheet and then folding it into a circular shape which is then grilled with oil. Often accompanied with curry gravy, this is still a cheaper and yet satisfying breakfast option for most people here.
