Breakfast in Malaysia!




Today, we went to have breakfast in a restaurant in Penang. The traditional way to have breakfast is nasi lemak which is coconut rice, dried anchovies, cucumbers, boiled eggs and sambal. Sambal is a spicy fish gravy. We also had roti canai, which is a dough smothered with butter or oil then fried fresh. It comes in many flavours, such as with onion, banana, eggs and whatever more you request! Normally it is served with a curry called dhal, onions and another type of curry made of coconut. It is best enjoyed eaten with your bare hands, no spoon or fork! Eaten 24 hours a day, with any drink espically teh tarik. Price is RM 0.80, but one is never enough!



Another yummy treat is the tosai. Tosai is also made of a dough, only tosai's dough is very thin and made of rice! It is lighter than rice, and still served with dhal and other curries. Best served with iced drinks, can be found from morning to evening and can only be eaten with bare hands! Price range is RM 1.20, depending on the restaurant.
