Piece of paper…

This is very thin, as thin as a piece of paper and I guess that is why it is called roti tisu (tissue bread)…

I went to the car wash right next door to this place the other day and I already had breakfast so I did not want anything heavy. They have nasi bryani, nasi campur…all the fried noodles and stuff there and all kinds of variations of the roti canai. I noticed there on display on the roti canai stall…

…cans of corned beef and sardines – my favourite brands…but I did not feel like having any that morning and in the end, it was a toss between thosai and the roti tisu and since I had not tried theirs, I decided to order one to see if it was any good.

I remember having had it once many many years ago in Malacca and all they had was a sprinkling of sugar. Here, they poured some sweetened creamer over it…

…while there was sugar mixed inside the dough, I think, as it was slightly sweet.

On the whole, I thought it was nice – thin and crispy mostly though there were bits that I found kind of tough or rubbery and not so well done…or maybe I took so long to eat it and it had gone all limp, I wouldn’t know. Whatever it is, I don’t think it was something I would go out of my way to have as personally, I am not really into sweet things and would rather have something savoury…unless, like that day, I am looking for something light to munch while waiting.

Moving on from the roti tisu, if you remember, I had a guessing game in this post on my family reunion gathering a few days back where I asked everyone to tell me what they thought the song that the ladies in one of the photographs were singing was. Well, here’s the answer…

…and the winners who got it right are Clare and Azura. Congratulations to the two lucky ladies – do PM me your mailing addresses via Facebook and I’ll send something nice down your way soonest. Congratulations…and to the rest, better luck next time!
