Roti Tisu Special @ Manja Curry House, Old Town, Petaling Jaya

crispy roti tisu special, the must order here

Time to do away with all that bad food karma. A new weekend looms ahead and I am ever hopeful I will find great food out there somewhere. Since it's a Fly-day, I thought we should celebrate with a treat, we are so fond off.

unveiled...the delish chocolately layer within

Always around when we need it, roti canai or the super-stretched version aka roti tisu is one of the best inventions ever. Filling our rumbling tummies, at a minimal cost, there are loads of versions of this perennial favourite. A result of the tough competition between the mamak stalls, you get roti canai with the pungent durian, diced up and fried to be roti canai goreng or stretched thinly and cooked till crisp, to be an enormous roti tisu that can feed at least 3 people.

fluffy roti canai with egg and mushrooms

This particular shop in Petaling Jaya Old Town, opposite the wet market is one of those, which comes up with interesting varieties. Their roti tisu special is unlike the thin and tall version from Kayu Nasi Kandar, but has a hidden element within the crisp folds - a layer of decadent Milo powder and condensened milk. Very sinful but oh so delish, that one piece is never enough. Unfortunately, they don't do Milo Ais like the Milo truck (can someone tell me, why does Milo taste so much better from the green truck and in small paper cups?) hence, you have to settle for their Milo Shake.

They also do great roti canais here - fluffy and not too oily. Splashie Boy had their roti mushroom - a fluffy creation with egg and canned mushroom slices. Originally a stall, business has been so good, they have now shifted into a shoplot. Aside from rotis, they also serve mee rebus, mee goreng, tandoori and etc. Tables and chairs are laid outside, making it a pleasant dining experience especially during this current hot and humid weather.
