Roti Canai Penang 

Roti canai is a type of Indian-Malaysian flatbread that is popular in the region. It is made from flour, salt, and water, and then rolled out into a thin pancake-like shape. The dough is then cooked on a griddle or frying pan until it is golden brown on both sides. Roti canai can be served with various toppings, such as curry sauce, eggs, vegetables, or meat. It is usually eaten for breakfast or as a snack. Try one today!
