Short Talk:
Czech lost to Ghana 0-2. Can you believe it? Si beh Ghanasai.
World Cup Roti Canai
Interesting news in the papers today.
You gotta hand it over to roti canai makers in Malaysia for always managing to come up with creative names for a seemingly simple piece of pancake.
A few years back I've only heard of Roti Canai (plain), Roti Susu (milk), Roti Telur (egg). These days they're churning out new names as fast as Nokia churning up new mobile phones.
*cough*lgchocolate*cough*
An enterprising restaurant owner in Penang has banked in on the World Cup fever and came up with a range of roti canais named after teams in the World Cup 2006. Among them Roti England (potato and butter), Roti Brazil (banana and chocolate), Roti Korea (crabsticks).
What is Roti France? French toast?
That's all fine and dandy, because these are all popular teams in the competition.
But what about those lesser-known countries? Do they have a Roti Trinidad & Tobago? What about Angola or Tunisia? Who is gonna make a roti canai for them?
See, I don't like favouritism or elitism. I think the qualifying teams for the World Cup 2006 all worked hard and all deserve to have a roti canai named after them. No one should be left out.
So I've taken the liberty to create my own recipes for some of the lesser-known countries competiting in the World Cup.
First up, is a roti named after a first-time qualifying nation from Africa,
Roti Togo!
Delicious and flaky roti canai topped with an ornamental tribal mask, this roti is sure to make the African drums in your tongue beating through day and night.
Next, is my tribute to the richest oil-producing nation in the world,
Roti Saudi Arabia!
This is one roti canai soaked with so much cooking oil, you can build a freakin' oil rig on top of it.
If that's neither of those are your taste, maybe you'd like to take a bite at...
Roti Iran!
You've all heard of Roti Bom, but have you ever heard of Roti Nuclear Bom?
I tell ya, it's gonna be such a blast.

Posted by: stoney84 at 20 June 2006 8:58 AM | Link to comment
Actually they have it few years back already but now the enterprise restaurant commercialised it. I remember last time I was just kidding by order a Roti Bosnia satu!!! My other friends did the same thing by order other countries name. And u know what? They really made it! Supprise? The only thing different is the ingredients only, as what I see was similiar concept as Pizza ingredients and they applied it on roti canai.

Posted by: Sia's Fan at 20 June 2006 9:26 AM | Link to comment
In Penang, most mamak shop will display their list of rotis such as roti bom, roti tissue roti hong kong, roti san francisco (wonder how they concoct such names) , roti disco. By the way, roti pisang or roti banana taste really delicious.
Best name so far is roti JANTAN, comes with two egg but minus the banana.

Many years back during the early 90's, do any of you remember the Mona Fendy trial. She was convicted of murdering a Dato mazlan who was chopped to 18 pcs. Well, during the trial, Mona Canai was very popular - you guessed it, the roti canai was chopped to 18 pcs and served!

Your comment about Iran is distasteful. It is thoroughly insensitive. Iran has repeatedly told the world that it has no nuclear bombs and do not plan to built one. And in one stroke of a pen or a type of a key, you have undone all the hard work of our brothers in Iran. It is not fair.

Man, you're heavily inspired by SixthSeal.com aren't you? Your entries are starting to read like his old archives except he doesn't PhotoShop. I think you plagarize from a lot of different blogs for ideas, but the SixthSeal.com connection is unmistakable.

Sighs. If you intelligently challenged people want to accuse a good blogger like kenny of plagiarism, you should come up with valid, reliable, concrete proof.
Not implying vague statements along the lines of," oh you sound somewhat similar to.."
Even if Kenny got inspired by many other blogs, he built upon that inspiration by forming his own imaginative ideas, didn't he? That doesn't really equal plagiarism. Have you ever thought of the notion that two people, or two groups, might think up the same idea independently?
Before you want to fling vehement accusations at someone, re-evaluate the facts and remember to be logical in your arguments. *roll eyes*

Actually there is lot of others type of roti canai. it is not just roti kosong, roti susu, and roti telur. But there is roti pisang, roti banjir and so on. sorry la i don't know how many variety of roti canai in Kuching, but for sure there is lot of variety.
one more thing, it is not a favoritism as it is upon the person to name their products. What they favor of or not it is depends on them
