I can see people munching on something or patronizing a hawker food stall, anytime of the day!
My, what a little place to live in!
My mummy made a trip back to Penang sometime last week and she stumbled upon an old Indian man who goes around apartment blocks around dusk selling these
The good ol' Benggali or Indian bread as they call it; slathered with just plain ol' Kaya and butter.
Just that, no secret recipe or whatsoever and yet, everyone seems to fall head over heels with this bread
It was pretty cheap too; about RM0.70-RM1 per piece (not sure about the price now though:p )
Mummy said their secret recipe is...the bread must be fresh!~
Now, can you tell me what is the factor which made you fall so madly in love with this bread, commonly consumed for a light tea snack?
so that's what they call it eh? in that case.. my husband fixed me roti beggali for a late nite snack last night! haha
ReplyDeleteI have always read about Kaya and have wondered what it would taste like. I hope I can find some here :)
ReplyDeleteBengalli roti is still the best bread. "kiang, kiang, kiang, kiang"...I always remember this "rhythm" when the Indian guy come.
ReplyDeletewow benggali roti looks very interesting !
ReplyDeletecumi&ciki, yeah...here in Penang:)
ReplyDeleteHehehe...it's really simple but yet so loved by everyone!~
lots of butter and kaya ... fattening but good to eat!!
ReplyDeletehie ning, you don't have kaya there? oooo....you can type in google, and who knows, you can make kaya in seconds and you'll be kaya queen!:D
ReplyDeletelittle inbox, oh yea...i remember hearing that when I was a little kid...haha, usually around here in Penang! I rarely hear them in KL:p
ReplyDeletebbo, hehe....simple...and yet popular:)
ReplyDeletebut dunno whether it's as popular as your bakes;)
hahaha duckie, you love fatty food?:D
ReplyDeleteBut that's the old adage, the healthy food never taste good right...hahaha...ask the healthy eater who's picky here:p
I believe it's the super thick kaya. Try having the same soft bread with any other types of kaya and it will not taste as good.
ReplyDeleteOf coz the benggali bread is PERFECT to celup in curry as well! *slurp*
the bread not evenly toasted ya...
ReplyDeleteso brown at one side and so white at the other :P
