Tanjung Tokong: Ah Wang Cafe’s Toast
Located amidst the Uda flats in Tanjung Tokong, Ah Wang Cafe’s toast is a popular and old favorite among the locals here for tea time. The toast is normally served with its homemade kaya, or rather with a combination of kaya and butter. There are a few types of breads available, including wholemeal Benggali bread (as shown here). In addition to toast, the cafe also serves drinks like coffee and tea. The best time to go here is during late noon, from 2-4pm as the cafe only opens after noon (closed on Sundays).

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.

The Roti Canai is also often ordered together with a glass of ‘teh tarik’ or literally “pulled tea”, a hot Indian milk tea beverage as shown above.
