Today we are having dinner at a great little restaurant that is located right across from
the Puduraya bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur and it is Indian food.
My favorite!
Nothing like refreshing fruit drinks to start your meal.
Here is our food.
Nice!
Thank you!
Delicious.
What we are having today is called Roti Canai and it is an Indian flat bread.
I've got one that has cheese inside and I'm going to dip it in the curry sauce.
The roti canai is the Malaysian form of flat bread.
Oh yeah!
What we're having here is roti canai.
Roti means bread in Hindi and Malay.
Canai in Malay means to roll out the dough.
How do you roll it out?
Show us.
Nice.
It is made with egg flour and water and in special cases where there is special ingredients
like this one here - cheese!
Sam is feeling a little shy because there is people watching him eat right now.
Is it the freckles?
Is it the t-shirt?
Is it because he is using his hands?
It's s spectacle.
What could it be?
There are two ways to eat roti canai - by hand or by utensil - and believe me I will
not give up an opportunity to use my hands.
Demonstrate for us.
Mix it up really good.
That's sloppy!
You just wiped it on your pants!
No, I didn't.
Audrey here will be having it using utensils.
I on the other hand am eating like a lady using a fork and spoon.
Keeping it classy.
So roti canai is thinner than the Indian style Naan bread which a lot of people are more
familiar with.
It is thin in the same way as chapati for example.
You can get plain roti or you get a little fancier with your order and they have banana
roti, garlic roti, cheese roti and egg roti.
Yes, I had that earlier.
Lots to choose from!
One of the coolest things when we come here to the restaurant is the little order you
get.
You just keep tallying it up here on the side and eventually when you're finished feasting
they finally give you a total.
This is a meal that you can have for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
We're having it for dinner right now and I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back for breakfast.
Get ready!
